    Maserati . . .

    One o' the Few True Exotics who bothered to rent space, here

    Dunno 'bout this one, though

    Kinda --- biggish/longish, odd . . . almost reminds me of the Weinermobile, ya know?

    Too bad 'cause I love their Quattroporte --- the model-before-the-current one. The auto-manual is junk, I hear --- but the shape + Ferrari motor = ay-yaay-yaaay. Beautiful interiors, too. And a bit of a deal . . . if you can get the gearbox sorted

    Anyway --- this one? . . . . . . . . pass

    Toyota 2000GT . . .

    Very 1st time that I've ever seen one in the metal . . .

    Small. And not exactly a WOW-kinda car, at 1st glance IMO ---240Z, anyone? . . . but some nifty details. Like the creases splitting the roof, and that character line @the fender tops looping over the really-tidy tail. Windsheild + side glass looks spectacular --- check-out that A-pillar. Never seen flush hood-hinges like that, either --- ever. But that weird hatch on the side reminds me of a Bristol. And the nose looks juuuust a bit too long for it. Hate-hate-hate those fender-top rear-views, too

    Still. Super rare = ~300 built? --- how many LHD? Alu bodywork + real magnesium wheels --- + knock-offs, to boot. Tires look like they're as old as the car, maybe? Lid was down but, as I recall, these were DOHC I6 (built by Yamaha) w/150-200 hp (?). Carroll Shelby (yeah-huh) was involved w/ sorting these, at one point

    Anyway, might be fun to drive, but --- w/ those production numbers = spares? . . . (your deity here) help you if anything breaks

    Too bad about the ropes

    Scion --- something-o-'nother . . .


    I've seen the other side of this Partnership-w/-Subaru creation -- there's a copper-colored one @work. Except for badges = identical

    Front-end seems to be modeled after an Imperial Stormtrooper --- like a lotta cars, these days. Something subliminal, maybe? Niiiice Singeresque outside-rear-views + rear-window slats = what-kinda-visibility? Wheels look good for one/maybe two dips/curbs/driveways. Nice-enough interior, too, but --- dunno about this Targa-roof thing. That --- + the color? . . .

    . . . = looks like a girl's car
