I'm generally not a fan of overwrought/oversized/overweight supercars either. But in the context of the thread I thought I'd post up the most ostentatious green monster I could

I do like this one in the way that I like crazy Hot Wheels though. If I could get it for $1.85 I'd have one. I do love the shade of green! Would be great on a 240Z...

I wanted to come up with a contemporary car that I actually might consider buying, but then I realized there kind of aren't any other than the BRZ/86...
Jag F-Type is available in a nice green, but TIL that the V8 F-Type is *only* available with all-wheel-drive! Car is gorgeous but too damn heavy anyway... But here's a pic of a beautiful car in a proper green:

As far as this green 86, it's the wrong green, with the wrong shade of brown for the interior (needs to either be a lot darker/richer, or a LOT lighter tan shade), in the wrong pattern, and the contrasting brown stitching looks particularly stupid. Frankly, it's a mess... My subjective opinions of course!

I would buy this car with that color

I wouldn't care what color a Morgan is if I could have one. It could be metallic pink with purple and yellow pinstripes with chrome wheels for all I care... I just want a Morgan Plus 4 in my driveway.

Just think of it as an updated and urban styled Morgan. No Chrome though.

$16K Porsches usually don't stay $16K cars for long. I've already been down that road.

I sold mine three years later for $15,500

I have configured one on their website. Trying to decide if I should order

Nope. Used the money to buy a house. That turned out MUCH better.

Summerwolf · 02-13-2019, 11:36 AM

This might be crazy.... but I really like the wheels. I like the whole car. It gives the 86 a different look, even the front end becomes somewhat tolerable.

I think it would look better as a brz, but it's not horrible as is.

In terms of green cars, the c7 is jaw dropping.
