Hell, there's one just down the road a ways in Madison WI goin for $22,900.00 USD with less than 30,000 miles on it.

And as a bonus, you can actually find a haynes or clymer for it, and a mechanic that won't run screaming at the sight of it!

In fact they're more likely to flock TO it, with a tim taylor gleam in their eye and a tiny bit of drool forming at the mere thought of being allowed to play with THAT cause there's just so MANY options...

Only downside is the damn thing is so ungodly heavy, but it's not like most of my other car fetishes didn't have that problem either, the 71 Plymouth Hemi-Cuda weren't no liteweight herself - although the VR4 does have this rather bizarre handling somewhere between muscle car and rice rocket, THAT takes a little gettin used to, it does.

Kia can keep their $50k toy, I think - honestly I doubt it'll sell well enough here to justify it.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it
