I don't care if there's anything practical about my sports car. I want it to be designed for the enjoyment of driving and nothing else.

If there's no front & rear trunks, where do I exactly store my guns and ammo when the zombies come?

Everyone knows the best way to kill zombies is with a wooden stake to the head.

You'd only really want to do that when you run out of ammo.

I know what you mean, blue, and I agree when it comes to practicality and sporty, hence why I feel you kind of lose the 'sport' label once you start throwing in more than 2 seats, or worse, more than 2 doors. Still, those trunks do come in handy when you take a long ride out to a mall an hour away and end up doing a little shopping, and it's awfully nice to be able to drop the bag or two into that front trunk and drive back home (rear trunk had the car cover in it), rather than have almost no space to put anything in. They may make the car a bit longer than it could be, but I have to imagine it'd look a little wierd with a much shorter front end, kinda like a Toyota MR-S gone wrong.

The concept car is much smaller than the 986 and it's the best looking version of the style.
