Dear NASCAR,

Dear NASCAR,

The 300 SLR, the car that gives more dragon than it takes.

Much like squirrels, if I leave my left leg idle it begins plotting the downfall of civilization.

@pettiblay: That's what I mean, you're so far from landscape it just seams like a non-event.

Truthfully? Once you're high enough off the ground, there's very little difference in sensation about how fast your going. 100mph or 1000mph feels about the same.

It has to make someone who owns a minivan publicly decry my decision while privately concealing jealousy.

Well, others thought it was foolish - I sold a perfectly good 2002 automatic corolla to purchase a 1970 Mercedes 220D 4 speed as my daily driver. Also, it was the only car I had at the time.

I've been hanging out here in the jalopoverse too long. I prefer the wagon, even without a v8

I know pussification is prevalent in today's society, but I just want to believe in the Jalopihoon:

Mr. Spinelli made that as a favorable comparison, yes?

Needs red wheels, a black paintjob, and a sweet red strip up the side.

This will be in my head all day now.

@Alfisted: Or the joy.

@Ray Wert: You made me click on Autoblog. Now I'm thinking about Kia Sorento's styling changes for 2011 instead of a rat rod drag racing a turbine powered t-bucket.

There should be some sort of test people have to pass in order to be allowed to drive.

With the price of body panels for the Elise, it very well could be salvage with only cosmetic damage.

It's like the Michael Jordan of the automotive world.

Is it radioactive? It might explain Schumacher.

Looks like they should be big in Dubai.
