    That's got my attention. Exotic cars don't usually stir me, but that's a red-blooded diva of a car.

    I don't think I've said this about a Toyota since the last Supra, but hell yes. I'm assuming no sport roof with spoiler delete option, though.



    I once found a picture of a targa top Supra, bone stock, with no spoiler. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Can't find it now. So you'll have to use your imagination and imagine this as a stock car without the ugly body kit.

    Wow. Looks like an evil transformers car. In a good way.

    Yes workshop in a way. Mostly a place to keep tools and maybe do a bit of wood or metal working.

    Did I mention that I test drove the i3? Its rapid off the line! Faster to 40 than an m3. Silent, which is odd.

    It's fine - probably preferably to a diesel, range woes notwithstanding..obviously I'd prefer an m3 but that's not feasible.
    We looked at one of them as a second car since our short trips fit in the range. It was an upper level one (2016)with the wood and two tone seats. The two screens popping up from the dash is strange. I just am not certain I want a carbon fiber chassis. Assume it would be totaled if it was ever hit, which would drive up insurance rates.

    My 328 costs me £800 a year in insurance. The i3 is £550. Any serious damage and they'd write either car off - I don't suppose the cf tub would make much difference. They're both worth the same - similar age and mileage.

    My rates just got raised, as was explained to me when I threw a fit, due to industry-wide increases of cost. They said that they raised rates on everyone and it was nothing to do with me. I was at $980 a year, and now it's $1060. Not huge, but not free, either.
