Really clean and low miles. These just aren’t worth that much yet.

The engineering they put into that thing is fucking amazing.

A Ferrari only championship? Presumably this would be geared to showing off the unique capabilities of Ferraris, so the main race is to see who bursts into flames first, with penalties for picking any colour for your car other than red.

A curse upon those who borrow tools and don’t bring them back.

Lots of money floating around, but also very low population density. If Wikipedia is to be believed, something close to 3/4 countries in the world have a higher population density than the US.

I kind of want to see a tug-of-war battle between two of those Smart cars.

Tin top and decent luggage space, simple as that. Might be a different equation now the RF exists, but those were what knocked the MX5 off my list.

The back seats in the 2015 stang GT I drove were functionally useless if the front seats were occupied by people over 5'6" so I’m calling that one a real stretch

Wow, that last one is a real head-turner!

It was on the lot with no options, it was red and other than the electrically controlled vents the 05 updates to the steering wheel, instrument cluster, painted side sills - the easiest way to…

Ignoring the interior, if you put some thicker rears on the back with a little more offset, it honestly wouldn’t look too bad. Replace the badges with some tongue in cheek ones that show you aren’t actually trying to pass it off as real, and I’d have fun with it.

What are you, nuts?! FCA can’t afford zip ties!!!

Given a choice between a Civic Si sedan and a CLA, I bet the Civic is more fun and at least as comfortable and probably roomier.

Is the subject of your affection a fan of cars? Is cost no object?

I’m would Niva buy it

I don’t feel like you get a Lada car for that money......

I, too, like to over simplify segments of vehicles. For example, I don’t understand why so many people buy pickup trucks. 90% of them only end up hauling empty dip spit cans, if anything at all.
