Fucking awesome. I would do the same thing. "AC knobs look cheap and flimsy. Try replacing them with a flat panel of carbon fiber."

A/C, though one of the heaviest amenities, is one of the few I'd like regardless..that and power steering. Anything after that like cruise control...no.

Hell give me an underpowered A/C system if you have to. Its hot in Florida, and I'm crazy enough to daily some cars that people restrict to track use

Yeah it was pretty neat I have to admit. In the pic, it looks like some careless asshole slapped some orange paint in random places

I meant to ask around for the Cayman's owner. That car as it sat was damn near the "ideal driving setup." Not many other cars there I wanted to drive more.

The DeLorean is what got me in to cars in the first place, so I might know more than a few owners

That explains why the lesser people that cant afford it always bitch about the Viper's interior then

One of the guys at the Miata turbo forums pointed out that the Vector has Miata turn signals! Suddenly the car isnt so cool anymore!

Amazing how amazing the Diablo looks for being 2 decades old.
