As odd as it may seem, I am a rather big fan of the Roadster, and have one sitting in the garage currently... it has the vin number 00000000365 or something along those lines, but it was one of the first 5 to hit the US shores. I may be driving one myself, but bills are stopping me from buying one till at least the end of January

If it doesn't come with an outrageous body-kit what the point, really?

It's about time!!!

That is going to be an awesome autoross and street car as long as they don't mess up the balance.

After driving Sue's this summer, I really appreciate how good a car they really are, even bone stock.

I want one...

To be a true master, one must know thy enemy...

OK, so I saw Last Samauri, and this seemed an approriate answer...
