Shannen Dougherty wrecked one of them.

Over the course of the series, there were quite a few interesting cars.

I only remember watching the first season, maybe the first two? I cringed when they made the ZR-1 reference. There were a ton of cool cars in that show.

The only thing worse about that car than the color is the fact that it's a Targa

The color is fine, if it a bit disappointing.

Totally agree on the Targa part. I actually enjoy driving Targa type cars with the tops off, but I hate the way they look.

If only you two had representative attitudes, the bidding wouldn’t be at 55K on its way to...80? And I might be able to afford to buy it.

I loved the t tops on my MR2 turbo. I always had them off.

And a Miata that is a clone of the one my mother had 23 years ago:
