BTW, for most of these folks, buying an LFA is as much of an expense as you buying the Dupont Registry. At least they'll get some use outta THEIR investment...which adds rationale to THEIR purchase...

The real unfortunate thing about this and any car production like it is that there is no logic OR emotion (the opposite of logic I'd guess). It is just an commodity to be sold off in the future, maybe...MAYBE 50 of the 500 people that buy this car will actually enjoy it or intend on enjoying it.

It sounds like a formula 1 car, thus rendering any argument against it irrelevant... haha

Front end of that LF-A looks like it disintegrated thanks to all those composite materials.

Looks like the panel behind the door is deformed too. Not good.

An epic HAW HAW at toyota for that. Not the loss of life but the loss of the car, with their chief 'test' driver.

The irony is ballbusting. Sorry to anyone I offended, but honestly its an empty sorry.

And dont you EVER comment on how a Canadian should act.

Good to see civility is still alive and well in British Columbia...

SleepWarz, you're a credit to us Canadians...

on one hand, I'd be pissed too if someone told me I wasn't "acting Canadian"

on the other hand if I was SleepWarz, my reply probably would have just been ... Nope. and I'd have carried on with my day.



Unfortunatly, making a point go out of your way to tell someone they shouldn't say something for fear of offending someone else HAS become a very Canadian trait. PM's are supposed to be PRIVATE MESSAGES. kind of a dirty move publishing it IMO

Governer-General Tim Horton, on the steps of the national igloo he knighted him with a Sher-wood and baptized him in a double-double.

His first act as king was to legalize staplers in Canada, but you have to own one in every colour.... Cherry forbid we offend anyone by leaving them out of the spectrum.

Finally... my similarly subjected papers will remain cohesive
