Spell Check is going to go nuts on this one!

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Sorry! You cant have a new car for awhile. You must suffer like the rest of us.

How much ya wanna bet that the next thing we hear about this car is that some ultra-rich idiot has smashed one of those ten exclusive babies into the side of a mountain while recklessly racing down the Autobahn?

And is then staked out on an anthill in the blazing sun by a mob of enraged sportscar buffs.

 

[harrlequin]

oooooh, pretty!

Bear, we'd have to stuff you in that thing with a shoe horn.

I think I'm just about past my muscle car phase - although I still want one of the new Camaros.

That car just doesn't appeal to me, for some reason.

Every good thing has its price!

I don't know why but all of a sudden I'm aroused.

 

[R. Richard]

You have to be a Vulcan to drive the Vulca, right?

 

[DeeZire]

Not very practical, cargo-wise, but it wouldn't be that hard to turn it into a woody station wagon. It would only require a couple of sheets of half-inch plywood, some sheet metal screws, and hinges and a gate latch for the back door. Home Depot to the rescue!

(For anyone laughing right now, my home-built camper shell - made out of plywood and sheeted with aluminum siding - is 17 years old and still as solid as the day I glued and screwed it together. Of course, it is mounted on the back of a pickup truck, not attached to the rear end of a two-door sports car.)

Rotsa ruck gettin' that jewel insured.

It has design cues from the 1930's to the 1990's ... hell of a conglomeration sez I. It's good for bragging rights at the country club and that's about it.

Any Italian sports model above the level of Alpha Romeo is. C'mon, who really needs to drive 170 MPH to Las Vegas?

 

[Safe_Bet]

Your gonna let me drive it aren't ya? Don't make me go all "Chuckie" on you!

Since when does a sports car have anything to do with practicality?

Honey, if somehow one of those appeared by magic in my driveway, I'd be headed for San Diego in a heartbeat. Of course, you'll have to make me dinner in exchange.

I used to dream of sportscars, especially in college where the Riverside Raceway was but a 20 minute drive away. They they turned it into a shopping mall!

If you need car insurance for it, then you can't afford it

That's kind of the way I see it.

Oh one of the great ones! I always wanted an Austin Healey, myself, not that it ever happened.

 

[Submissioness]

That is a sweet ass ride! And the perfect color!

Actually, that car has nothing over a Bentley and/or a Ferrari that you can buy now and customize to suit your every want and desire and for less money, I'm sure. Moreover, that car doesn't look very crashworthy. In making only 10 copies, it won't be coming to the United States and for good reason, it can't meet the federally mandated crash safety tests, as do the Bentley and Ferrari do.

I'll take my Bentley and my Ferrari any day over that imagined dream machine. At least I know the cars that I own already have the bugs ironed out and no one makes a better car.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Bear, but you'd look lovely motoring in say...the Popemobile.
