My ears are a burnin'! I consider Other Cars to be off topic enough that you guys can talk about whatever you want to regarding them. The thin skinned newbies from the tech sections that have been on the site for less than a month aren't in here much. If they are, they better put on a coat.
Have fun guys.

Finally saw one out in the wild today, that car looks amazing in person. Actually got a chance to talk to the guy who owned it too. If my celica ever decides to break down this may become my daily driver. But my celica is running strong even with 253,000 miles and counting. Even at 6'5'' I still fit in this car, so that made me extremely happy 
Because for example I don't fit in a Ford Fiesta and barely fit in a Ford Fusion for comparison.

I had a chance to sit in one a couple of weeks ago...surprisingly roomy up front. Rear seats are useless, but the front of the cabin is comfy. Decent visibility all around. I'm 6'2" and there was plenty of room for a helmet.
Might have to consider one of these down the road.

You're trying to argue a point whose sole unifying factor rests on its propinquity, and now you want to argue about arguing about it, while missing the idea behind automotive enthusiasm in its entirety. You'll have to excuse me while I go and set what's left of my hair on fire.

Replace propinquity with proximity and what do you have?
word salad.

what's with all the love for the word salad? you had to look up a word so you're impressed? I had to look it up too, only to find that a less pendantic usage could have been "proximity" at which point I had to ask myself, "proximity to what"?

While one can certainly get the drift by looking up the word, as you have, those with a different background can further a more defined idea from my comment. Word salad.

Propinquity is concept (typically found in social psychology) where an idea or an item seems more relevant than it should solely due to a given physical position. For example, a relatively plain-looking woman may seem more attractive standing in line at a checkout, because she's the only woman standing in line at a checkout.
