    That's the problem, good for an Audi. I'm sure the engine is excellent and it's got a manual, but I don't want the understeer, the nose heaviness, the dead steering or the stupid ride. Plus you look like an asshole in one.

    In a Bimmer you look like an asshole too, but at least you've got the right car.

    Oh and by the way I saw a 914 tonight. It was bit ugly, but what surprised me most of all was its tinyness compared to modern cars.

    Buy a 335i. If that fails go for a Datsun. And if that doesn't do either, an Alfa 159. It will break down every 100 yards but you'll be happy.

    The new one requires more speed. But it can still kill you quite easily.

    Also I saw I Nissan Cube, but it didn't look like grey import or anything. Are they going to start selling it here or something?

    A tan circa-1979 Ford Fairmont wagon in traffic today - an endangered species these days.

    Also, the local BMW dealership had a new 5-series GT parked out front next to an X6. They are very similar looking; I don't know that I see the point.

    Today, I saw a red skittle (Neon) with aggressive exhaust.

    I complained to my friend vehemently that this car was a piece of shit. He agreed.

    These past days:

    White Focus RS, Series 3 XJ12 and actually other interesting stuff that I can't remember anymore.

    I must be getting old.

    Saw these over the past few days...

    Horribly modified 180SX, and a chopped impala?

    Also saw the new VE brock Group A commodore- which was a surprise. Sounded the ducks guts though.

    Caddy with mistletoe over the back seat. Took me a second to get (I'm a little slow) but then I lol'd.
