Just saw the ABC article...wow.

Yeah, I kinda laughed at that, and this part:

When I see this car (Demon), I see a fast Challenger. There are other ‘fast’ Challengers (392, Scat Pack, Hellcat, etc.), but at the end of the day, they all look like the basic Challenger that dots the parking lot at Kohl’s or Wal-Mart. Meanwhile...

“In this recounting, the driver received a warning to get out of the car, however the power doors wouldn’t allow her to exit the vehicle.”

Looking forward to seeing the answer, but I admit, this stood out to me:

Strictly looking at this car and comparable ones (condition, mileage, price, etc.), I would say NP. That said, because the head of the company is so mercurial, I don’t want him to wake up one morning and decide he wants to brick my car for the lolz, so as much as I like this car, I would have to say no.

Can’t speak to the values, perceived or actual, of these, but after seeing this:

*if you tie three of them to the roof, that is.

Is he expecting to be attacked by gangstas from Nottingham Forest or something?

(maniacally evil laugh)

It boils down to, do you want to impress yourself, or those around you in this case. If you’re all about comfort and coddling yourself (and want the neighbors to think/know you have money), get the Rover. If you want the driving dynamics of a car, with the utility of an SUV, get the BMW. Cause while everyone knows and…

He’s 8 years younger than me, and I always thought he was older than I was!

Yeah, but the top one will probably offer you gelato before it kills you!

This. All I could think was that someone was more important than someone else in the design department and had this greenlit, cause it just doesn’t go well with the rest of the car, DRLs or not.

I’ve seen some trashed cars in that vein, and often wondered, in this age of everyone having iPhone 2000 or whatever, nobody thought to get a pic or video or anything when the vandalism was taking place? They can take pics of plates of food, or their cat, but someone being destructive in public is a ‘meh’?

(whispers) I think that only works on the Pontiac Vibe or the Ford Probe...

I like it, and I like that it’s well optioned, but I don’t have BMW repair money, so while it’s probably an OK price for someone who does, that someone isn’t me. ND

Re: #3-BMW has taken to screwing with my head with that stuff; I always thought when I’d see a 750, that “wow, they must have stayed in school and were able to get the V12!” Nope-BMW just badges it that way, and it’s a V* like so many other cars. Boo.

I don’t disagree, but my first thought was “Oh look-a Prius coupe!”

So no matter how you pay them, you’re going to pay to pay them?
