I like you. For your purposes, I would get a much cheaper, and much worse replica, then spend all the money you saved on Ferrari swag.

This is good.

They only acceptable purchase of this car.

I have a neighbor with a Testarossa.

Width is always more important than length. As my father once said(to my horror):

Is it unique and cool in some way? Sure. Is it remotely reasonable to consider as a reliable, relatively affordable year-round daily driver? Not a chance.

If he just wants a cool hobby car to start conversation and drive to the airport once in a while, great, but that’s not at all what he asked for.

I mean, couldn’t *one* of you have given him a reasonable answer?  The only non-troll answer is the Acadia, and he literally said he had no use for an SUV.  I get that there’s a comedy element, but I thought there were supposed to be a few helpful suggestions?

Since 2005 I own RAV4 which for sure was one of the first with 3SGTE engine swap.

I know of someone who bought and owned a fake Ferrari. He didn’t find out until he took it into the shop, and was told that it was a fake.

Here’s a video from the the guys who got raided, it was just posted:

Take away their patrol cars and put them all on bikes.

Forgot to mention. Mine has a LSD, brakes from a much bigger car, and everything works. No CEL, emissions all in place, cruise control. Zero torque steer, smokes both front tires in a straight line, you can let go of the steering wheel.

I have a K24 (TSX) swapped Insight. My best tank so far has been 48mpg and I expect 60 is within reach with a light foot. Car weighs under 2000lbs with a full tank of gas, A/C and power steering, and heavy CR-Z seats because my back likes them better. JSYK, there’s ZERO torque steer, presumably because of some magic…

I know you’re trying to be quippy and sarcastic but let’s just get this straight, that pass would be 100% legal in F1 and nobody would have been penalized at all.  Two wheels were on the track at all times and they didn’t hit anyone.

That’s kind of my point though. At $5k it’s a lot easier to click NP, but you probably would have to replace a bunch of vacuum lines. For $6k instead you get the car from a guy whose bench looks like this.

Four doors, safe, manual, under $10k?

Athletes are measuring sticks.  

And it’s just such a strange car to bay so well. Generally, the Grand Vitaras I see are beat to absolute shit, because they were cheap cars new, and are much cheaper cars used. So it’s just really bizarre to see one so clean. It makes a lot more sense to keep an Audi TT in great shape - that’s an engaging car which is…

That is too kind! I will miss you guys tremendously. 

I cannot applaud you enough for shopping for a fun convertible and having the good sense to say no to a Miata, the pumpkin spice latte of convertibles
