It’s an investment

I mean, I am dumb. But at least it’s dumb with a high resale value.

You’re enablers.

my wife alrady said yes to this or a Boxster or Cayman. This is after we figure out what car for our Minivaning. (Leaning towards Q7 3.0T now)

I like the ROI on that “OPPOrtunity”

It’s an investment in your happiness, which is the best kind to make. That’s not dumb.

My friend has a crazy S2KCR and it’s much better than a Miata! You won’t be sorry.

Congrats!

I wish I lived somewhere I could justify it, the PNW is not exactly great convertible country, especially sharing road time with motorcycles.

No, it’s not dumb! Sure, having a pile of cash is nice, but the pile of cash can’t spin a high-lift VTEC cam all the way to 9k.

Did they not sell the more ordinary looking actual first-gen in the US? I thought I remember seeing one for sale up here (Canada) a while back...

The original RHD Prius had a similar body but with a different powertrain. Appearance-wise, the bumpers, lights, etc. are different from the version that eventually got exported.

Actually it’s a salvage, front end impact afaik :/ only 64k but needs new rear tires (2010). the price was right (including shipping) and I think these have stopped depreciating, obviously the mint ones are astronomical. The worst realistic scenario isn’t bad enough to not take a chance.

Actually the worst realistic scenario is the aftermarket. Brb deleting google
