Yeah, the Lotus quote is “Simplify, then add lightness.”   I think either joke works.

My first car was an ‘88 Cavalier RS.  That thing fucking sucked.  Not cool!

You’ve gotta love Dodge’s philosophy: Maximize, then add heaviness.

A little bit of that mixed with a little bit of this, yet I somehow still like it.

My uncle bought an M Roadster in their first year, and he still has and upkeeps it. He let me drive it in a few inches of snow in the late ‘90s, which was awesome!

IIRC, I think puking rainbows refers to seeing something cute, so we’re all good!

I don’t mind it. I’m just saying it looks like that barfing rainbow.

Oh, I know. I’m just saying that things have gotten so dire in the US (and on this site) that I’m actually clicking on articles about an SUV with a manual.

Yeah, the manual was the bigger thing, to me. 

Maybe if both of your rear passengers are Lieutenant Dan.

Get black and do the GT3 console removal, and then it’s just kinda mostly terrible, at least.

Rent the new Cayenne Coupe monstrosity and ghost-ride it into a volcano.

This site’s SUV-A-THON is apparently wearing me down. I actually looked at this manual freaking Hyundai Tucson and thought:

Interesting. I was going to say the rest of the car is fine, but adding that nose sucks. No one wants to show up to the Porsche club with a GT3 nose on the slowest recent Porsche sports coupe. Don’t get me wrong, though, the base 987 Cayman is really fun to drive.

Sure! Ultimately, as I mentioned, if you don’t need a somewhat usable backseat and trunk, get the Cayman, but, in my opinion (this is vs. the 987 Cayman, btw:)

Well, to be fair, the 135i came out a dozen years ago, and BMW doesn’t do this anymore. The point is that it was funny to see German’s reluctance to deal with American’s cup holder desires.

Nope. You either have to ride around with the armrest in the up position, or use a drink that’s only a few inches tall.  The parking brake is already engaged in that pic. 

I ended up deleting my armrest for comfort’s sake, anyways, like this:

Well, yeah, but then you’re driving around with the armrest in the air. Unrelated to the cupholder, I removed the armrest anyways.
