Anyone own any Exotic cars?

It'll fit kids, and even car seats and boosters.

Also, more importantly... you can fit a full set of track-use wheels and tires (as well as a small jack and neccesary track-day tools) in the car.

Watching Barrett Jackson tonight and Serial yacht owner (great for our industry) John Staluupi just paid $2 million dollars for a 2020 serial #1 Toyota Supra. I guess you could say he "donated 2 million dollars to the cause of ownership". That would be juuust a tad over sticker price of $60,000 fully optioned.

If Mr. Staluppi needs someone to properly care for, maintain, and regularly drive his $2.1 million Supra I'd be happy to take on the responsibility.

I never really understood the "concern" people had in the first place.

It became apparent relatively early on that it was going to be it's own car - despite sharing a platform - not just a rebadged BMW. And personally I don't find the shared platform to be a bad thing. The BMW M cars have long been considered the best performance coupes/sedans in their respective classes. The M3 (now M4) has for years been the standard by which the competitors are measured.

Why be concerned about that?

The reality is that in the 21st century nobody can afford to produce a small volume sports car at a reasonable price without finding some way to spread the development costs.

Anyone complaining that Toyota should have developed a new sports coupe from scratch, entirely in-house, should be ready to pony up the cash to support that...

Oh wait, they can. It's called a Lexus.

I'd heard the same, but looked it up and found this:

Well if I was responsible from taking this legend...


And turning it into this travesty...


I'd mask my embarrassment with silence too.

After a full restoration I finally got my 1972 E-type back yesterday... Pretty much rebuilt everything incl the V12 and 5 speed gearbox, fixed a lot of rust etc etc In the process I converted the open headlights to the original covered headlights of the earlier models...

Oh Wow. She looks great.

I didn’t do the work myself, I wish I had been able too.. based on the body shop and mechanic labor, I m guessing 600 to 700 hours.

The only thing I m doing myself is the interior. That’s going to be 40 to 50 hours

couple of days ago I checked Hagerty value guide and values have really gone up in the last 6 to 12 months even fornthe lowly series 3 coupe which are always the cheapest of all. That made me feel much better, not being upside down is a great feeling

Now that's an outstanding ride.
