No, seas of Chevy Trax and Buick Encore economy compacts on stilts.

What 20 and 30- somethings are you talking about? I haven't met any that are interested in 70s crapcans, unless you count cult classics like the Beetle and Vanagon.

How many leaves are stuck in the grille?

I agree, though I still have the GT3 RS sitting in box. Since I don’t really like any of the other 2019 sets so far I’ll probably end up getting the RSR too.

Yeah, they’re expensive for toys. Keep in mind that a full built set with box and extra parts won’t lose any value, and a sealed box set will actually appreciate fast enough to be a reasonable financial investment.

I agree that the bug eyes and circular front are a bit off, but I disagree about the wheels. They’re very close to scale, but the fender gap is larger than the real thing so that they can give the model a reasonable amount of suspension travel.

Nor should any LMP car, 911 GT3 or RSR, or Chiron. I got over it since a Lego LSD would not work well on the scale of these cars.

Nope, not me! I never drove the car down that way. However, around Atlanta is where you’re probably most likely to see a Harlequin:

It’s comparatively more expensive than the Corvette, but the current Technic Rally Car 42077 is much better and only $110. It has a working longitudinal mid-mounted V6 engine, rear differential, and suspension - so similar features to the 42039 LMP car.

Haha! When I commented, TheVat’s Festivus comment had all of 2 or 3 stars. It seems people have seen the light!

Well there’s over 200 of them, so it’s possible!

Rare doesn’t necessarily mean valuable. These were hard for dealers to sell new, and the situation isn’t that much better now that they’re 20 years old. Many people love it when you drive by - but very few want to own one.

If the Mk4 Golf is assembled like the Mk3, the rocker panel, C pillar, and roof are actually the base color of the body, and the rest of the panels are swapped.

This comment is criminally under-starred.

Because you can swap a 2ZZ into it, and then you’d have a budget Lotus Elise that wouldn’t get totaled when it gets a scratch on the bumper?

I disagree. The first gen is an extremely sorted design. I don’t think it looks chunky at all - if you can’t tell from the photos, it’s a tiny vehicle.

Thanks for the advice, duder13 and Beans.

VWs too.

If you could sum up the mid 2000s in one vehicle, this would be it.

That’s the second gen Z4 you've posted there, not the first gen.
