Comparing these two cars is absurd. One is trying to be a supercar, with a price tag approaching one. The other is the next rung up the ladder from a Miata or BRZ.

Losing money on every unit sold but making it up in volume, a proven and long established business strategy.

That would be “Marquis”de Portago. Marquess is the feminine version of the pronoun.

Hardly a controversial take, more like insipid.

I have an idea for your next installment of this series: copy your first paragraph, strike reference to Chevy Bel Air, and substitute “vintage VW Beetle” in its place.

I know, I watched the video. Didn't go so well for anyone, and looked something like a Keystone Cops movie.

Sounds like everything that can be done is being done, and that is to be respected. But there is always going to be someone that will disagree or try to make a statement, witness the example on a stage of the Tour de France this year where Basque farmers rolled out hay bales onto the road in protest of God knows what.

Thanks for this.

Yup, no argument with this at all. My friend had the four door Scooter, and it was truly horrible.

Mazda RX7.

Since redneck assholes are everywhere these days, it means brodozers are as well.

Their brains are even smaller than their dicks.

It wasn't that horrible. Now the 1977 Dodge Aspen my sister drove was a complete and total piece of crap.

Just finished a 600 mile trip in our 2018 Crosstrek, got 38mpg, it was roomy, quiet, nimble, had plenty of power for passing on two lane roads, and could handle any surface we threw at it. 

I appreciate the efforts made by the WRC, and I never assumed that their was zero effort to plan and consult with communities prior to the event. My question remains however, whether anyone from the WRC actually contacts the landowners individually. 

Good Lord, people can be assholes...

I think you have to appreciate his perspective; he lives and works on that road, and there have been plenty of accidents with WRC events on public roads. A little more public relations efforts with adjacent landowners might help, otherwise these events will be banned just like the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio back in…

Everything you said is true, and yet if anyone is that far in the barrel of depression they cannot see any way out. 

I guess some people are more powerful than lung cancer, emphysema, heart attacks and strokes 

Read one book or even magazine article on Corvettes.
