Sister-in-law saw a car “just like mine”…

And she sent me this pic. Could be worse; I guess this is close? But clearly she has never really actually looked at my Supra… or any Supra.

Non-car people have no clue when they see these type of cars. Some people saw my car and thought it cost something like 250k, others thought anywhere between 100k to 200k. I got mine for around 60k. Only the people who recognized my car have an idea that yes this is a Toyota, and yes it is a discounted BMW. I just think it's all fun and games to fuck around with people who have no idea what my car even is. LOL

would need to see a pic of SIL for perspective.

I stopped being offended by non-car people when someone thought my '93 FD was a Ford Taurus (because of the rear lights).

The poor things don't know any better?

 

[Danimal]

Ooooof, a Taurus

 

[R1Outcast]

Ooooof, a Taurus

Yup. To car guys it sounds crazy. But to non-car people, these back lights look the same?‍

Yes, I’ve heard that before - like the Skyline and Impala:

Ok...I have to admit, that is very similar. How have I never noticed that? Even the inner lights have the little clear circle in the center.

edit: Ahh...those Impala lights are aftermarket. That's why I never noticed the similarity?

Choosing your next car is a bit like picking the right pair of shoes. It needs to fit your lifestyle, feel comfortable, and, of course, look good while doing it. But let’s be honest, the financial side of things can feel like walking through a maze blindfolded. That’s where options like PCP finance come in. It’s like leasing a car but with a twist — you get to decide at the end whether you want to keep it, swap it, or walk away. Companies like Carplus offer flexible plans with fixed monthly payments, typically spread over 2-4 years, and a final balloon payment if you decide to own the car. For example, on a £15,000 car with a 10% deposit, you might pay around £200 per month, depending on the term and mileage. Think of it as test-driving your future without the pressure of a long-term commitment. Whether you’re after a sleek sedan or a rugged SUV, understanding your financing options can make the process smoother than a freshly waxed hood. So, before you sign on the dotted line, take a moment to explore what’s out there. Your dream car might be closer than you think.

Frankly speaking, similar things in terms of design can be found between German and Japanese car, between American and, say, Korean ones. It is really hard to make up something genuine nowadays, my opinion. Modern cars are like modern smartphones in terms of design language.
