It's actually a Ferrari P4. There was a mildly amusing comment in the world of gray comments below that mistook it for a Ford GT, and I made a rather lame off-hand play on it.

Just a joke playing off another comment elsewhere in the down the gray netherworld of non-approved comments.

Somehow, that GT40 just doesn't look particularly worried about it.

That's not what I said in the least.

If you read the actual thread, you'd probably note that the discussion in the comments above turned to the notion of whether or not the 3-series is boring, as Orlove asserted that it has become. If you had read my entire comment before replying, you might have noted that I also addressed the topic of the original post.

Conversely, there's no reason that the 5-series GT and the upcoming 3-series GT need to look like plastic modernist phone booths. Unless, of course, there actually is a reason - namely, to create a car intended to be efficient at something altogether different than a basic sports sedan. Not all cars are designed to do…

I'm with Orlove on this one. An i3 actually looks like it might be pretty fun, and it would be a much better option for the tight quarters of DC than the bloated soap bar that is the contemporary 3-series.

If you think that your choice of car so severely affects your capacity to attract women, you have far, far bigger issues in life. Good luck with that.

The 3-er is actually kind of boring.

I wouldn't go that far. That would be like a manufacturer naming their next car "LaFerrari" in hopes of getting free fire extinguishers for life.

Hmm. Wrong response to the wrong person. My bad.

Proof positive that Chevrolet Corvette > Ford GT. :p

Agreed. I was going to opt for the Mustang, but that one-year-only split-window is just so legendary that even people that have no interest in cars recognize them, and recognize that they are special in a way that a Mustang simply isn't.

Sad, but not unreasonable. Toyota, like any other manufacturer, won't bring us a car if it doesn't make sense from an engineering and market standpoint. A tiny two-seat convertible weighing in at 20% more than it's competition, and cost 10% more? No thanks. An entry-level two-seat turbo sports car that costs as much…

The awesome comments on why people love their cars is some of the best light reading I've seen today. Keep the stories coming!

I'll take two of those, please

Ouch. Those high heels look like they'd be painful to walk in, let alone drive in. If she's delivering the car, I promise to have a comfortable set of driving shoes for her.

Shit happens when you party naked.

Lead, mercury, artificial essence of Bill Mitchell, and a couple of other things known to get sharks killed and mounted on walls.

It's not really about the biggest, baddest, fastest, or most expensive car. It's not about being flashy or showing off your money. It's just about liking cars, no matter what kind of cars you like. Sometimes, others may not understand why you like a car so much. Sometimes, you may not even understand why you like a…
