Yes, I knew something looked completely off, but figured it would have already been pointed out if my observations were true.  Thanks for helping me realize I’m not crazy.

That is some well corrected paint.  Nice survivor!

This brings back fond (not sarcasm) memories of the 1994 Lumina Euro 3.4 sedan in red I drove in HS/college. It’s 210 hp was no joke back then. It was just like this, except the paintwork was perfect, because my dad is an obsessive amateur detailer, and it wasn’t missing the center caps on the wheels.

Not one of you posted a Volvo. Shameful.

Yeah, it’s really hard to argue against Porsche.

Exactly, as a reminder the namesake of this new model comes from the 206GT (178 hp) and 246GT (192 hp).  I’m not a big Ferrari fan, but the 246GT is probably my all-time favorite road car they have ever produced.

If I can borrow heavily from other recent articles and comments, this is another:

Way too much HP for it to be considered a Dino. I thought a modern Dino would be smaller and lighter than the current models with maybe 500 hp (600 tops). But over 800 hp, that is just absurd.

We both know yoke enthusiasts have always been a minority, but with the belief that anything Tesla does is the way of the future, that minority will definitely have grown.

So you are telling me the brainwashed Tesla stans are now installing this idiotic steering wheel on their cars where it was not available from the factory.  I do not understand why anyone would want this.

It should also be noted that the Sport Design wheels were also featured on the 996.1 GT3

The sadder reality is that Kettering was the one who popularized it, but the chemist that created it was Thomas Midgley, who also created CFCs, so he poisoned the earth and sky for a couple generations with his discoveries.

This is the best thing that could have happened from the Jason Torchinsky 50 year retrospective spectacular. I feel like I may have contributed to this momentous occasion.

Yes, unfortunately, and was also the same person to be the last defending its use. 

It was not Cadillac. It was Charles F Kettering (using a Cadillac on which to develop it). 

Did I miss something? Didn’t the “Plaid” versions already debut months ago (but in typical Tesla fashion not ship for a long time)? I know not a single Plaid production car has been delivered, but how many events can you schedule to launch a single facelift model (its second facelift if we are being accurate)?

I totally forgot about Meh Car Monday.  That was a hilarious series.  It needs a comeback.

I was thinking the same, if this is a hot hatch, so is the Chevy Bolt. Driven wheels don’t matter either, since the Golf is the definition of hot hatch and most versions have been FWD since 1974.

I’ll add my two cents:

Jamie, you are truly a gifted writer. I also appreciate how you admit to faults of judgement [not entirely of your own making] in the past and how with time, clarity and information you intend to leave the lasting impression of correcting history to better the world (at the cost of corporate Christmas cards). Bravo!…
