Rented a car through Enterprise in Boulder (I can be more specific...) due to having mine in the shop for an extended period. So, two weeks later I'm in traffic on the highway and I see this early 90's Legacy wagon with mismatched (I think, hard to tell due to the # of bumper stickers all over the car) body panels

Funny, I had my car repaired by a guy named Vlad in Boulder. He also has a shit opinion of quality work. It was so bad I eventually sold it, because neither he nor my insurance felt like actually fixing it.

Competitors were ridiculously unsporting, the event was critically delayed, and ESPN managed to show one car the entire final race

Thanks for the reply, I always figured there was a lot of bureaucracy below the glamorous exterior of automotive journalism.

I like cars that show an understanding of basic aerodynamic concepts. That's why I hate almost all old cars.

Nope, you're wrong. Maybe if I searched really long and hard I might find at least one thing about every car to "love," but your definition excludes about 99% of the car-enjoying public. I think cars from post WW-2 to around 1960 are almost universally giant hunks of shit. ESPECIALLY American cars. They had no

No, I just prefer function over form.

But how awkward would that really be? Is it a sort of, "please remind your staff that our time is valuable as well." Or is it a, "dude, seriously. We know it's there, just please don't take *that* much more time then we give you." Or, finally, are those conversations of the, "if you wish to continue being invited to
