It’s shocking how many people leave food wrappers in their car, sometimes with unfinished food.

I caught a former girlfriend reading her mail while we caravaned to work. I married someone else. I’m not gonna worry every day about you putting your head through the windshield (or airbag) because you can’t put off that stupid crap until you get home!

Is there such thing as ‘wool flannel’?

That’s MUCH better. It still has black on the flying buttresses, but it does improve the profile a little. Why didn’t they just reduce the size of the buttresses?

Actually, I was referring to the black on the flying buttresses and the rocker panels. Too much black breaks up the lines and looks cheap.

If the Mondial had a monochrome exterior, and didn’t have those straked vents on the side, I think I might actually like it. Has anyone seen one with all the black crap painted to match the actual car color?

No. One is a clean design that doesn’t photograph well, and pisses off most Ferraristi. The other is a big hot mess of styling incongruity.

I’m really conflicted on this one! On the one hand, it’s a non-red, Ferrari coupe, manual trans, 2+2, in good condition with that quattrovalve engine. Excellent! On the other hand, it’s my opinion that Pininfarina could not design a nice 2+2 until the 456. (I have not seen a 400 in person, and might like it.) Yet, I’m

I think he meant the 308 GT4. Am I wrong?

Is this a joke? Because you’d have to be an IDIOT to try sleeping flat, unrestrained, in ANY moving vehicle! Does the ‘driver’ have his hands off the wheel and feet out the window, as well? (This is why we have warning stickers all over our cars.)

Leverage often causes the pelvis break first. All of this safety gear on cars, and people do dumb junk like this.

Insurance should be better with the V6 as well. Don’t want to forget that the cost of a car is more than purchase and maintenance.

This era of BMW is a “Bimmer”. Earlier models were “Beemers”. I’m not sure what they are after the 1990's. 

This is not a Ferrari. Someone actually DROVE it (!!!), and they had  PASSENGERS (*GASP*)!!! Certainly the car has been used, but it doesn’t look bad for a late 80's auto. I’d want to see what’s under that paper carpet protector, and I’d get a good look at the underside, and check that all of the electronics are

It drifts! It will ‘baby’! It will....NOT fit in my garage. CP

Maybe there was only a shoulder on that one side of the road?

Your brain is thinking of “miss” as a verb. If “miss” is the verb, then “nearly-missed” becomes a hit. Because “near” is the adjective, the noun “miss” will remain as a miss. (Yes, modern English is full of this auditory and written weirdness, and I hate the inefficiency of it all.)

Reading comprehension: Audrey is a guy.

Guy was toast, anyway. You can’t hide in new suburbia. No trees, no bushes, and boring architecture. Maybe there was a play structure he could have hid in, but no visual cover to get there.

If it is not clear, and they are deliberately keeping you in the dark, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You did not fail in any way, as it was a contrived situation.
