Congratulations! You win today’s internet! 

This may be the best post in Jalop history and fantastically has nothing to do with cars. Exactly how many people in the US have trust funds?!

It was too late by the time he said ‘Mi-ata get outta the way’.

I think he’s just trying to make up for the other 99.5% of pickup trucks with their shiny untouched beds, seen picking up nothing. I’m giving this guy a pass.

Well, it flies in the face of previous thought, so obviously it’s something to crow about.

Yup. I’m having to have my rear bumper repainted for the THIRD time in four years, because people apparently have a hard time not bumping into the corner of it. The parking garage is tight, but good grief, why can’t people park and when did we get to the point where seemingly no one leaves notes anymore.

I misspoke/typed. I meant two seater, not two door.

Yeah, because Americans have proven to love manuals so much. Bottom line: with the exception of the Miata, the US roadside is littered with the corpses of two door sports coupes. 

Picking up where they left off (in the 80s) in the hawking of quality product I see...

1 - You don’t seem to be getting the point that these are clearly not your run of the mill luxury focused BMWs and Mercedes.

‘Next, on James May: The Reassembler...’

These are small specialty performance BMWs and Mercedes, not the luxo cruisers. At that point, you’re comparing them with other cars that go fast around a track. They raced head to head with each other for years.

You’re not going to cross shop a GT-R against an Infiniti or Acura because they’re two totally different types of vehicles; a GT-R is a performance car and the other two are luxury cars.

Seriously, why would you put a shifter from a city bus in this thing. Isn’t the original shifter about 2" long?

Ford built engines for the Michael Schumacher led Benetton team for years. They also did OK at that Le Mans thing. Just because it doesn’t have a luxury European name on the hood, doesn’t mean it’s not fast.

Not much on the racing, are you?

OK, May.

Correct title:

fender flares + those awesome bronzy wheels that are somehow only on Japanese cars + decklid lip spoiler = sex
