Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I thought this was interesting and curious what you guys think. I was on autotrader.com checking out the going rate for our cars and came across this 2004 LY which claims it was the first unit ever produced in this color and that only 670 were made. Check it out...

10 years with a bra, and never washed. Paint is toast. That plus the absurd asking price and the slew of misinformation boasting the car makes me laugh.
The most depressing thing is when some ignorant new owner purchases it then comes here bragging about the car they got, likely directly followed with a complaint thread about how they need a new engine.

I know of one that I pass everyday going to work. Its parked in the driveway of this house EVERYDAY. It never moves. If you are in Illinois, take a drive south on bartlett road coming from Higgins, you can't miss it. Knock on the guys door and see if he will sell it to you.
cant think of a car that looks good in yellow. my friend owns the yellow rumble bee and I think it looks lame. although he thinks my blue rx8 looks lame, so there you have it.

I would not have bought any 8 except yellow.

i passed a LY in my LY just the other day with a black hood, mine has a black hood and half black, half LY MS bumper so they were like twins.
i don't like when i come across another car that looks nearly exactly like mine..
i think he means the "eyebrows" which i haven't seen in LY before. but then again i think it would look better in black on my particular car. i'm not a big fan of the solid LY color.

I saw a picture of a LY with matching
eyelids on the web.
I can't decide if I like that look.
I think I would have to see one up close before I would do it.

they would have to be nearly perfect, with the light color the seams would stick out like a sore thumb and make it look more assy than better.

I definitely don't think yellow is the best color for many cars, but for the 8, I wouldn't own any other color. I had an '88 turbo II in pure red and loved that color, but I've always been underwhelmed by the velocity red of the 8. LY reminds me of some of the Ferraris out there. It's the perfect shade of yellow, not too pale or too orange. But for me, it's the best color, which is why I went used instead of new when I got it. I've only seen 2 other LY cars in my area, one about a month ago which looked like a sport with no aero package and apart from that it's been about 5 years since I saw the other one, which was a GT with aero package like mine (I've since ripped off the kit and installed the shine autobahn kit). I love having a unique looking car and it still makes heads turn everywhere I go.

I still get occasional compliments around town or at the pump.
I want to download Queen's old song "I'm in Love With my Car".

My LY is currently DOA.
Awaiting opportunity and $$ for a new engine.
Still in excellent shape otherwise, fully loaded GT MT.
Idk if it could've had any other options.
I'm currently awaiting 2 new knees and a 3rd back surgery, so the thought of parting with it is beginning to enter my mind, but it would break my heart if/when it happens.
I also have the rare AutoArt LHD LY model.

I still never found out how many LYs were made, but mine I'm sure is one of the last surviving fully loaded LY MT GTs.
A brand new engine is now purchased, and hopefully it will be back on the road in a few months.
