The funny thing is, you’re totally right. Back then it was just a fun to drive commuter car with a hot engine.

I’ve got my own biases as witnessed by my garage.

Only a few minutes ago, I was 100% sure a C8 Corvette was my next car.

Never give up.

Hate to break it to you, but 911's definitely pass the “appeals to little kids” test.

My biggest question is because it’s something you never really hear, just read, how is it pronounced? Latin-X or Latinks?

This reminds me of when I was cross-shopping the Mitsubishi Evo VIII, and the Nissan 350Z back in 2004. The Nissan salesman kept going on and on about A.) How it was so much more prestigious to have a Z-car than a “Lancer,” and B.) How the Z was clearly superior because it used a timing chain instead of a belt.…

But why would you buy one of these when you could have 37% of a C8 Corvette instead?

Having owned a few BMW’s, I actually look forward to having a Corvette with a bulletproof motor and electrical,but may on occasion shed a door mirror lens or have an interior panel fall off.

We had something like that in the Pontiac G8. Bigass LS3, 400+ ponies, four doors and a six speed manual. Won’t find that at the Hertz counter.

I like it and look forward to owning one.

That Robot Chicken sketch could be a documentary on how naval aviators get their callsigns. Usually by something embarrassing they did.

Yeah, it was really weird to be a college student owning an A70 Supra turbo at the time F&F came out. You have an actual turbo Supra and the average CRX HF is considered the cooler car.

Don’t forget running black steelies up front to look like drag tires.

He’s probably the only person in the automotive scene I’ve dealt with that I still hold a grudge against fifteen years later, and I’ve worked with a lot of individuals.

I’ve posted this elsewhere in the thread, but I saw a Taycan testing with only taped on taillights as camo. If it hadn’t had the taillights, I would have just thought it was a Panamera at first glance, and not have had my attention drawn to it.

This will probably get lost in the comments, but here’s one I saw driving around SoCal with even less camo, just weird taped on taillights. No fake exhaust tips, no cover on the DLO.

Based on the Korean mindset of automotive colors, it’s amazing that Hyundai offers anything beyond greyscale. Go to Seoul, and it’s a rarity to see anything that isn’t greyscale unless it’s an orange taxi or blue kei truck.

I’m planning on buying a kei car on the east coast next spring, and driving it to the west coast.

I’d stay away from any weirdly painted bus that said “Carving school children” on it.
