Any doubt is erased by the presence of those Monoblocks. I can’t think of another OEM wheel that has grown on me over time as much as these.

LOL

Ctrl-F “Radar Love” and no results. How can that be?

[Points to username] Agree 100%. I used to fly back and forth from Eugene to Portland to visit my gf (now wife) every Friday. Passenger on an empty highway in the dark... sometimes on a sportbike... damn surprised I’m still here.

I think its biggest problem is that the Aston grille shape is so iconic. Squaring those curves off hurts, yeah. Glad they didn’t just make it a sticker like this P1's side vents:

Nah... I don’t think it’s that bad. How could it be any better at that scale? I... wait, I mean *my kid* has several of the speed champions sets and this DB5 looks better than most of them. At least it’s identifiable. How many people would identify this as a Miura? I immediately see Vette.

Thinking about what we'd like is fun, but yeah, this is the only real answer - whichever car comes with the most money. And then we have to deal with all the lingering driving scenes that fulfill the minimum product exposure requirement in the contract. Hurl.

I was curious so I looked it up. Spielberg has said he’ll never remake Jaws, or any of his own movies.

Wake me when this headline says V90.

Judging from the other responses, you’re not the only one. I can die happy now that the mystery is solved. I don’t mind it, it just drove me crazy. But I was looking at it in a mathematical, probablility kind of way. Like, assuming x spaces (big number) and y people (small number), how the hell did car a and b end up…

Nope, but I’d be honored. It doesn’t bug me much, just always makes me scratch my head. If the car is Jalopnikish I just choose to believe it's one of us.

That never crossed my mind but you’re totally right according my responses. I guess if it's intentional that's better than not!

Oh man, I never connected it with the urinal situation. Totally the same thing. Also “dickish” was the correct word haha. I had a buddy that when drunk would lean over and whisper “swordfight?” when that happened.

I’d love to leave it in the garage, but it’s full of my rolls royce, shiny perfectly-arranged unused tools, and my vintage grey poupon collection.

Redeye, named for red states.

I don’t want to see THAT Hellcat logo.

Maybe. I think some people park next to it as a way of saying I like your car and I’m going to protect this side bro. Had a guy explain it that way once... it was a real cool, positively jalop moment. But that can’t explain ALL the times it’s happened to me?

It’s almost worse to be at the end of the row now, rather than sandwiched between cars. People cut the corner I think. Same with people turning around in my driveway.

If we’re doing parking lot pet peeves, what about when you park in the north 40, with no cars within 10 spaces, and you come out to still no cars around except for somehow one car parked RIGHT NEXT to you?

The E60 M5 is an amazing car if you take your time to find one that's been taken care of and keep up on maintenance. Neither of which happened here. I hope the next owner shows it a little more respect.
