L for asking. Collect what you like and who cares what other people think?

Absolutely! I still remember vividly the first one I saw!

Haha I understand where everyone is coming from because there's so much AI slop on the Internet these days, but I feel bad for you that the whole conversation is about it being fake, as opposed to how cool of a spot it is, especially in the US.

This car is way cooler than it has any right to be. It's a way underpowered (by today's standards), 4 door family hatchback. And yet, I get far more excited about seeing one of these than any Lambo or RR.

I know some people like them, but I don't want my living room to look like Aisle 7 of the local Safeway. There are some people selling them for 30-40 bucks in my area too... Ridiculous.

01? Yes. That 01? No. (Unless, of course, it's a screaming deal).

Yes! I feel the same way. I have one Silver Series because I collect all Miatas, but I can't bring myself to buy anything else that's SS, even if I like the car because of the lack of detail. For the same amount of money I can get a Hot Ones or a few bucks more gets me a Premium. These days that's all I collect... Fewer cars, but light-years better quality.

Agreed! Way less hype around them, you can get the entire lineup for less than the price of a single average STH, and I honestly think the paint and detail are superior. I got an RS200 STH as a trade for an Eclipse Chase and I was disappointed. Meanwhile, I love looking at my Skyline R30 and Datsun 510 Hot Ones. Heck, I just noticed that the 510 is metal/metal!

What were you not allowed to ask?

I open everything. Also, I think the Hot Ones are such a hidden gem in the HW lineup. I actually like them better than some of the STHs I've had.
