It's a fair call though. I mean it isn't like you MUST drive a turbo car, and if your family only happens to have high performance vehicles, then one of them should subsidise you because after all, you are the one who benefits. Why should we as taxpayers subsidise the costs and risks of allowing you to drive that particular car?

As far as I can tell though, the exemptions aren't that tough to get. How a 20 year old friend of mine managed to gear himself up and buy a 135i and get an exemption is beyond me but hey, it worked.

lolwat.

How does the government banning things and then making you jump through hoops to get back what should have never been banned, equate to taxpayers subsidising costs and risks?

Last time I checked I was responsible for any risks I took while driving.

cue the mum screaming you're also responsible for the son you kill when you run into oncoming traffic

taxpayers should subsidize the murder of small boys.

The administrative costs of tailoring the scheme to suit a very small minority and also the costs borne by society (whether it be medical expenses, costs of ambulances, investigations, etc) when there is an increased likelihood of an accident.

I know its far-fetched but I was playing devils advocate here That being said, any extra costs incurred by the RTA are borne by the taxpayer. Nothing is ever free unfortunately.

It actually seems pretty good.

And would most likely look odd with a fixed hardtop... Does it have a fold out hardtop or canvas?

meh i'd rate it. most convertibles in the $100k+ brackets are decent. it's the cheap ones which are convertibles for the sake of image and sacrificing all other performance or worthwhile aspects of the car which sadden me.

[Azamakumar]

FACT: every car looks better with a roof
the only legitimate compromise is a targa top

moar like:

Srsly the California is gay.

[Riet]

fuck I wish the S2K looked like that.

[Azamakumar]

worse than the real one tbh man
