@layabout hunting Cerbera: Truth be told, I actually had to pull out the British-to-American dictionary to make sure I was using the word 'pillock' correctly.

@layabout hunting Cerbera: You snarky pillock, we never got those in Obamaland! So it looks like we're left to paint up a Titty Arse in obligatory 80's Quattro colors...

So BMW is trying to get in on the action enjoyed by Dinan, Turner, Hartge, AC Schnitzer, etc.?

So has the bearded lady been unlocked from her cage yet?

@80honda: Technically speaking, the 9-7 was a hatchback...

I haven't heard an exhaust note like that give me the chills since the Geo Metro-Gnome.

@rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: Very much so, but I think well-worn leather is the point. Gives it that raw "Western" look so highly desired in suburban Naperville.

@lilwillie: ...less mileage, doh!

I like it. Not $2300 extra bucks like it, but at least it's not overdone. Reminds me of my Ducati, which always brings a smile to my face...especially in February.

@Cognitive Friction: I HATE

@1300ccsoffury: I'll throw one out there. CAUTION! RAMPANT CORRUPTION AHEAD! just over the Illinois border.

I patiently await the day when somebody changes the sign to something funny.

@petersterncan: Eventually they'll just give their cars exhaust stacks...just like every proper F-450 should have.

@Smitty: Yeah, I was hoping that wasn't the reality. I've been to Maui before and loved the fact that Wranglers were so easily rentable. Unfortunately I'm hearing about the crappy crime against tourists that I did not see or hear about last time I was there. I'll probably still get my exotic rental for the day and…
