Hmm. I would rather have my Miata.

[bgill]

A fool and his money.

[Mears]

I believe people should spend their own money any way they want to-——but this,to me,is insanity.

It’s a damned car,for God’s sake. A car.

[bigbob]

And, it’s only money.

[GreenHornet]

Does that include roadside assistance?

I had a professor who raced a Nash Healey in the early 50s.

Probably the first combination of American motor with British Sports car body. At least in a production car.

[mad_as_he$$]

I have touched this car. Sadly they wouldn’t let me drive it.

I would rather have my Miata.
Maybe you should lie down for a while :^)

[Mercat]

LOL I’ll take the rest of that money and spend it on faith, family, and travel. But since I don’t have the money in the first place, it’s just a thought experiment.

[Chode]

wonder where the first Sunbeam Tiger is now???

[caltaxed]

Carroll Shelby’s legacy is impressive. Too bad he never won the Nobel or any award of merit.

[Larry Lucido]

It will lose a third of its value soon as they drive it off the lot.

[Safetgiver]

I had a’68 Shelby Mustang 500 KR. I cry when I see the pictures.

[sheana]

I had a friend who had one. She sold it and drove a Bug. 😱

The lesson to be learned here is that drunken auto engineers build the best cars.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Turn in your man card buddy

[Noob1999]

I’ll keep my Honda S2000!
