If it matters what's behind you, you're not driving fast enough.

I am not exaggerating, at all, when I say that it took me a solid two minutes to even notice the hot redhead booth professional. That would, under normal circumstances, take me no more than .005 seconds. That says something about how desperately I want -no, NEED- this car in my life. Clearly Alfa saw Lotus's move

My credit card is banging into my computer screen like a moth trapped under a lampshade.

There should be a picture of that in the dictionary next to the word "Sleeper." I love it. NP all the way.

@Mabrouk: This was going to be my suggestion... don't forget the '30 Mille Miglia where he ran at over 90 mph on Italian back roads with his headlights off while trying to overtake his teammate Achille Varzi so that Varzi wouldn't see him coming, and his 1935 German Grand Prix win in the rain at the Nurburgring over

Nice camera work, to hide the trailer hitch.

This one's tough. It's just about brand-new... with all the problems that 25 or so years' slumber will inevitably bring. It's rare, unique and desireable on these shores... but with the 25 year threshold up, you could probably import a less-virginal but still nice one for a lot less. It's awesome 80s performance...

@PHIL: Guess you got taken in, sucker. I've got the original Hitler Staff Car right here.

An affordable track day toy / autocross machine (depending on how it's prepped) that is NOT the boringly ubiquitous E30 / Miata!

Weird idea, but for such a relatively low price... what the hell, why not?

Are you trying to beat the $50k+ SBC Volvo / S10 monstrosity for epic CP drubbing? Because this might do it.

@Lee M. Janotta: Actually, this car IS the mechanical Technoviking. Muscular, Scandinavian, impossible to ignore, somewhat ridiculous when you get right down to it, and most definitely inspired by controlled substances.

@west-coaster: A 100-point P1800ES, an S10, something with a 327 and side pipes, AND a Miata.

Swapped P1800? Yes please.

@PaulalovesAudis: Is this in the US or Europe? I honestly can't recall seeing anti-Audi BMW advertisements (other than the one) in the US. Europe may be a whole different story; wouldn't surprise me at all if BMW-USA handles themselves differently from Big BMW.

@stöke never shifts into reverse without a backup plan: Because the first two didn't work. Did you even read the article? It's not about punishment, it's about getting the guy under control so he stops jumping in front of cars before he turns into a greasy spot on the pavement.
