I should add that this was not meant as a criticism in the slightest.

Because the Spirit of Ecstasy is just too subtle.

Damn. I know exactly where that bit of road is, I've driven it (and ridden a bike on it) hundreds of times. No bueno.

Since my nomination for worst factory scoop already got suggested (Pontiac Grand Prix), I'm going with this:

Thirded. I came to post the same.

I am admittedly biased, but I really like BMW DSIIs (Type 39).

It's such a fine line between stupid and, uh...

Tell me about it. I used to live down there, taking public transit anywhere was always a total shitshow.

Beat me to it. Winner.

e30amino? I dig it.

Also, I'm picturing all kinds of issues with stones getting thrown up into the wheel well and triggering the release.

Are you sure this isn't actually a TVR in disguise?

Yeah, unless you're half wookie it shouldn't be an issue. I've got a friend who's about 6'2", 220lbs and he fits in his 1970 no problem.

You spelled "minute" wrong.

See, that I don't agree with. It's not that it wasn't designed, it just wasn't designed to be showy. It has lines that, while simple, are effective.

It's definitely not really showy, but I like it. It's simple and purposeful looking, which works for me. I think they look especially good in profile.

Put differently, supercars that look like they were drawn by a 12 year old (see: the Veneno) aren't really my thing. The Noble is much more understated, but it's…

I live just off 99, so it makes sense for me to take it sometimes. That tunnel always makes me happy when I do.

I like the one on 99, especially northbound, better. There's an on ramp feeding right into it so you have no choice but to gun it, and it's a lot tighter/louder than the I90 one.

Don't you mean road car turned racecar?

BMW- I know they've come up a million times already, but simply put I don't think anyone has made more cars that I want. 2002. Z8. Every generation of M3. e28 and e39 M5. e24 M6. 3.0 CSi. I DD an e36 M3 and it's everything I could ask for. It was cheap, it's fun as hell, it's been reliable, and in 4 door form it's…
