Chaoticmass:
At first I just didn't like the boring 80's boxy look to your car but after you mentioned that I finally figured out it's a Starlet! My buddy had one of those back in high school and omg, I thought it was one of the ugliest cars IMHO. I hated getting a ride in that thing but I didn't have my license yet so I didn't have much choice. To make things worse he got it painted at Earl Schieb, he picked this metallic green but it looked like an army green so we nicknamed it the 'tank', so now that you said that I'd personally not want to be seen driving around in that even if it was AWD and hauled a$$. Sorry just my opinion but I'm sure some or lots of folks would not like my cars so it's no big deal, since we all have different tastes, it's all good.
Norm:
Yeah but in a motorcycle all it takes to kill you is a little touch of a bumper to your back wheel! I'd rather take my chances in a 'cage' as lots of motorcycle enthusiast call it. :)
