If that's an American car, you can show us a picture of it in the junkyard in the next 30k miles. Doesn't look like a GM though, since the redline is above 6k rpm.

I've had the car for six years, but I recently was driving a hundred miles to and from work. I put on alot of the milage last year.
And it is not a Nissan or a Toyota ..guess again.
Edit: The turbo gauge in the lower left is a hint.

I am ashamed that I missed the turbo gauge. Assuming that it's a japanese car, and it's -not- a Toyota (Supra or Celica All-Trac or MR2 turbo) or a Nissan (300ZX), then it has to be either a Subaru (WRX), Mazda (RX7), or Mitsubishi (3000GT VR4). I don't think I'm missing any of the turbos. If it's not Japanese, then it's a Saab or a Volvo. But, you wouldn't be so low class as to drive a Saab. I don't think that the RX7s had gauge faces like that, so scratch that. I also think they had a higher redline. WRX would have to be my bet, since I also know that the 2nd gen 3000gt had different faces. This is all written assuming final-gen, so tell me if I'm wrong.

My guess is Mitsubishi.
Hey! I drive a Saab!
...my dad doesn't trust car companies that don't also make jet fighters...

Now if you'll excuse me, there's a bottle in the cupboard with my name on it.

The older WRX's wouldn't meet California emissions requirements, so I doubt it's one of those. It'd be hard as hell to get 100k miles in a years time, so not a new one either. That pretty much rules out Subaru. Toyota and Nissan are already ruled out.
Whatever it is, it's probably 5-7 years old if he drove it hard.
So, it's probably either a Mitsubishi 3000GT, or a Mazda RX7.

It is a Mitsubishi. It's actually an Eclipse GST, not a 3000GT as previously guessed. I love my car, even though it is the car of choice for FOB College students ...second to the Acura Integra of course  . I've had it for six years and it is still running good and fun to drive. At some point I should start thinking of getting a more respectable car, but I can't bring myself to part with my Eclipse. Everyday I'm amazed that Mitsubishi can squeeze 210HP out of a freaking 4 cylinder.
And Mitsubishi makes jet fighters as well
