The Uncle Bens Rice Classic line is too funny

The R8 spyder is just gorgeous, man I wish I had the funds for that car.

I don't care how great that LFA is, I would never pay $400 grand for a Toyota.

If I had $400K to drop on a car I would seriously consider the Lexus. Or maybe five GT-Rs heh heh.

thanks for sharing the picts. :)

Forget the R8 spyder. No roll bars means no track days.

I heard the Fiesta (and more Fords to follow) have a new and pretty good feature. On the turn signal lever it has and extra function. Tap it and you get 3 turn signal flashes automatically, latch it and it works like normal where it signals until auto-cancelled. On a car like the Z that 3 flash thing would be nice for passing.

This feature is far from new. The German brands have done this for years.

yup, my '03 audi has this feature. works great, can't understand what took so long for it to get onto domestic and asian market vehicles...

I actually think it's ugly, JMO.

IMO it looks good, just need to see it in another color probably.

Thanks for the pics. Now I don't have to go to the show.
