@jeremiah@levisan but how much extra would you pay for the exact same thing, but in red? If it's really important to you, you can get it painted any colour you like at an autoshop.

@jeremiah@levisan I'd love to get me a triumph that can sit in the garage on bricks while the carburettor is sitting on the bench waiting to get cleaned one day. Just need a garage first.
@levisan@ned there are some moderately affordable kei sportscarts that will get you in the neighborhood of the same sort of fun... (Daihatsu Copen, Honda S660 and Beat, Suzuki Cappucino) there are no shortage of sucker boomers who bought Midgets and Triumphs who will sell you a project car.
Important note: Canadian content laws require that you blast Red Barchetta when driving any of them.
@jeremiah@ned My hope is that eventually, assuming we become a "two-car family", we can justify having one cool car and one utilitarian car instead of two meh cars
