I actually like the Fiat Coupe. It's quirky, but it's not ugly in the way that a pre-facelift E65 7-series is, IMO.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Or as ugly as the Saturns!!  :rofl2: Must have been the same guys that designed the Aztek.

For years I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a MKII MR2 and never have.  I owned a MKI for 13 years and it was one of the best cars I've owned.  Anyways, I'm hoping that this is the year to pull the trigger on a clean, stock MKII turbo, which isn't easy to find.

^  I'm ~ 5'10 and fit no problem
IIRC you're a fair bit taller than me... still I'd think you'd be ok.
You'll just have to get behind the wheel of mine just to be sure.   ;D

The guy who sold me the MX5 was about 6' 5 and he got in it... but he wasn't super comfortable..

I've test fitted the soft top at the car show last year and fit great. I'm short legged and long torso so I think that helps.

If I must I will.  :rofl2:  How many more days until the cover comes off again?

I need to test the bolstering before I pull the trigger.  I will have to get in line as well!

Been obsessing over this 2000 LS400 for the last week, it came up for auction today and some jerk from Florida got it. Was him and I back and fourth and I finally gave up and let him win.

Like wth is a guy going to do with it down there?? Calgary to Florida is a HUGE distance to ship (this car would have had to be shipped as it has some body damage) I know the process of shipping south quite well and really can't see why one would bother with a 16 yr old car. Oh well, hope he enjoys it.  >:(

What did it go for?  Maybe rrocket will sell you his.  If it isn't gone that is...

I been thinking about something simple and basic for daily driving in summer and school run in Spring and Fall when needed.  This one would be fun, 4 spd manual, REAL Hemi as opposed to the modern (fake)"HEMI", wind up windows, just your basic car. YUM!!  I'm not big on the vinyl roof and of course it'd need radials for safety reasons but these guys always have something I like.  ;D
