Don't Tesla me, Bro!

I, as a commenter, am glad that Katie is going to be okay. I have no interest in turning her experience into some sort of internet farce that makes no sense whatsoever.

I cannot agree more.

"...it's the most beautiful Ferrari to come along in years..."

"Wherever it is, it is a place with too many self-indulgent weenies with too much bloody money.

A Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, 1st-gen Porsche Cayenne, and possibly a modified Chevrolet Trailblazer SS would all do the trick.

I would hope that they can come up with something more interesting this time.

The appeal is that quite frankly, not everyone likes the same thing as we enthusiasts do. As enthusiasts, automotive culture is a lifestyle choice that we choose to make a priority. Not everyone shares the same priorities that we do.

I'm ambivalent to the Mini Coupe, but I am not ashamed to admit that I think the Mini Roadster is actually pretty damn cool. Sure, it has the image of being something of a feminine car; but, then, so does the Miata. It doesn't stop enthusiasts from liking the Miata, and it won't stop me from liking the Mini Roadster.

Well then.

Interesting. It seems that I got pretty solidly schooled today.

Hm. In that case, I stand corrected. I thought that was a P4. That being said, what is it?

I want a Cobalt SS Turbo sedan in school bus yellow. I'd park it in a garage next to a Dodge Neon ACR, a Dodge Omni GLHS, a Chevrolet Citation X11, and a Ford Escort ZX2 S/R.

It's right here:

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
