We'll just have to disagree on the Vette's styling superiority versus the LF-A.

Not to mention the fact that the LF-A and the GT-R are pigs that basically do everything for you, especially when compared to the relative austerity of the ZR-1. Plus, the Japanese offerings are ungainly and overweight-looking, and just don't do a single thing for me.

I call bullshit.

I'm guessing this is called a Rambleghini?

It's not a VAN, it's a BUS, goddammit.

Not being painfully rich nor a hippie, I'm not qualified to speak on behalf of the folks who are shelling out that kind dough for an old bus. All I know is that *somebody's* buying them! Look around at thesamba.com or oldbug.com, and see for yourself!

Precisely. Which is one of the reasons I DD a bay, and not a splitty!

Don't get me wrong, I voted crackpipe here on general principle.

I had a neighbor here in OKC that had/has one of those in the same color, only in much better shape cosmetically. I never got up the nerve to ask him about it, partially because it mostly sat in a corner of the driveway and I was afraid it might be a sore subject. Or that he'd offer it to me at a ridiculously low…

Dammit. Apparently that's indeed the case.

Is it strange that I read that last part as "put she a donkey keyboard?"

Yeah... I expected more comment on that aspect too. It's definitely vaginesque.

The visual metaphor of driving it straight into that giant cloud-vagina is just outstanding.

Yup, I've had some really good ones... And some really, really bad ones!

Late to the game, I know... I was out of town all weekend. Anyway, I'll be 35 in August, and I started driving in 1992. Since then, I've owned:

Oh man. This is *exactly* the sort of car my father is in favor of, dubbed by Peter Egan as the "skinflint" package. He bought a '77 Rabbit off the showroom floor in Tulsa with almost the same low-spec "options," save for the fact that he actually paid to have the factory cloth swapped out for black vinyl. I was just…

A pokemon with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, no less. Hideous.

Just needs a bit of this, and a bit of that... Nah. It's still not working.

I had no idea that "nonplussed" was such a polarizing issue! I'll admit that I'm an avowed word nerd, having worked as a copywriter and editor. I admit I like to toss an oddball word or phrase around when given the chance, but I stand in complete solidarity with you when it comes to stuff like "rightest."

Don't get me wrong... I couldn't run a TIG bead to save my life, but I'd think they'd have at least cleaned up the welds if they were going to take hi-res beauty shots!
