I wish KJV had not mentioned spotmodel.com. Holy smokes.

edit: welp, as it turns out, I can't afford anything on that site anyway. I found a 50% of 1986 Toyota AE86 in racing livery for $24, but then shipping was $24 :-(

I know that feeling all too well. The, "... oh hey that's a great price that I can swing. Shipping is how much?
Oh. I guess I can't swing that after all." Although, I am somehow lulled into a greedy satisfaction when I readily pay $92 for a truck part with FREE SHIPPING versus (the same company) paying $75 plus $17 shipping. It is a strange phenomenon.
