Freight (plus container if you are going to keep it isolated during the trip) will probably run you $5k-10k, if I were to guess.

RoRo is another option. Probably more expensive than a container.

Wow, I'm suddenly tempted by the prospect of cheaply importing all sorts of track cars. Where did you get that price?

I could break it in and drive it to NM for less than $750.

Ugly glowing badges?

Like em or not, when I get in or out, someone almost always stops mid-step to inquire about the car. The electroluminescent dash always grabs attention too.

The problem with that mindset is that you will never actually buy the car because you are always waiting for the next trim level to come out. After Monogram there will be another one announced for the 2015 model year. Then you'll wait for that. Then you'll hold off on the 2015 when they rumor of or announce an "even better" model. Meanwhile, the rest of us drive our twins and enjoy them. I find a lot of people who say they are "waiting" on something actually just don't have the money cause if they did then they would already have it...

Still not sure. Leather could be what they consider standard, lol. In the full cockpit angle shot it definitely looks like fabric to my eyes.

Lol I know somebody is gonna throw that magic word "money" nah. Still doesn't get to me yet. What I have been waiting for was not model year.

1/ new Hybrid R technology
2/ new mustangs
3/ new C7
4/ new FT86 2.5l
5/ new supra.
6/ new lexus RC
7/ new sedan 86

Having money without knowing how you want to spend it = you are gonna bankrupt.

Next car will be my hobby car. Hobby car have to satisfy me the way I want it, that is why . Am waiting still.

For daily tasks, my camry, and my Rx350 do it fine

I like 86, but for now, I prefer looking at it on the street, or test drive at a dealer

They're still going to if they can't keep their price in check. The Pure Price thing is hurting them more than helping them, against Subaru at least.

Yeah, if the Monogram sells for $28-29K and you can buy a BRZ Limited from Clint for $25Kish.....

Hard to justify spending that much more for basically the exact same car...

Most of what you listed is years away. Why are you on a forum dedicated to the twins when you don't own one and aren't seriously considering buying one?
