The C4 Corvette is my go-to example of this phenomenon. I didn’t like the C4 when I was in high school.... and you know what? That was a GOOD thing.

My Maserati does 185

Would rather give money to Porsche or McLaren any day of the week.

+1. Between the no-self-service law and the ridiculously low speed limit, I’ll happily drive 150 miles out of my way to avoid going through Oregon. Hotels and businesses in Idaho are more than happy to take my money.

Good job. The plane is immediately diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, where you get to cool your heels for 24 hours before getting right back on the same flight the next day.

Because the one on constant loop is capable of replacing dozens of parked ones.

Electric windows were a huge pain in the ass for a long time.

I dunno. 400+ pounds of weight difference is a big deal.

“No. There’s no fucking way he would do something like that. I’m getting paranoid. That’s just... sediment. There’s no way it’s polonium. It doesn’t look anything like polonium. I’m the goddamn President of the United States. I’ll just drink it like a man. What does polonium even look like, anyway?”

This includes the sales person going back and fourth and burning time, which often times grinds the customer into purchasing the product at their price. The sales person is more or less an actor and has no control over anything.

Under no circumstances is it a good idea to let a tow-truck driver mess with a car that’s otherwise capable of moving under its own power. The driver gave his last fuck a week ago to somebody else, and is now running on a mixture of meth and incompetence. You will be very lucky to get your car back in unblemished…

As long as the ECU source code isn’t available for inspection, NOBODY knows what they’re doing.

This ties in nicely with the upcoming celebrity endorsement campaign featuring Lance Armstrong.

Why the fuck would someone buy something like this?

Yes, it’s got something “more” than a 911. Whatever it is weighs about 500 pounds.

That’s complete and utter BS. What kind of pipe have you been sniffing?

Try a PDK and you’ll never be satisfied with a slushbox again. (To be fair, a PDK probably costs a big chunk of the S4’s sticker price on its own.)

I don’t get the fire extinguisher. If your car catches on fire, you don’t want it back, believe me. Get to a safe distance and break out the marshmallows.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it did. These “races” are usually won in the tire shop. IIRC the current Camaro has posted Nordschleife times ahead of everything made by Porsche short of the 991TTS, and maybe the 918.
