What it could look like....As for people doubting me, im sorry you feel that way. I stand by what I say and appreciate the comments from everyone. Good or bad.
Just dont understand why people are so rude to someone that is just trying to share pictures and info that I get in my position.

The 300zx was not meant to be a sports car but a convertible by design in its initial stages. Therefore it wasn't the lightest of cars.

The problem here is, you acted like a petulant child when people doubted your claims. They were legitimate doubts, considering you refused to provide the sticker price and your description of the "Monogram Series" did not corrolate with Moto-P's, who by contrast has been a very reliable source of information.

To go on to say thing like "I am taking pics now to shut up people" or the previously quoted "shut your mouth" bit, shows that you failed to rise above the so-called "rude people" and rather sunk down to their level.

So, put your big boy pants on and provide something of substance. I see that there's a sticker on your photo of the "Monogram Series", take a shot of that so we can see the car's information. It should state "Monogram Series" on it, correct?

What I'm curious about is why any dealer would want to reveal this info so soon when the car won't arrive until July at the earliest, possibly slowing sales of existing FR-S's in stock including Monogram. It doesn't seem like the best move for someone who derives their income from Toyota's turn-and-earn allocation system to do or say anything that might delay sales especially right before year-end closing of the books.

Actually, you wrote "just trying to share pictures and info that I get in my position". This implies that those are your images. Clearly they are not.

The alternative is, your position is "Behind a Computer Screen". In which case, I'm sorry to break it to you, but that isn't all that special.

You are correct. I did sink to other people's level and speak out of frustration. For that I do apologize. As for taking a picture of the sticker, will do.

That's where the natives, on the other side of your island, up against the hills, use the squeezings from their cane still, to put in the truck (when they get low on gasoline) to get their "product" to town ....

Thanks, that would be appreciated. And if it says Monogram on the Monroney label, I'll be one of the first to offer praise.
