I'm so screwed.

Riiight... You just want to get 2 more MPG and you are hiding behind this snow excuse. We are on to you

There is tons of good white stuff up in the mountains, no need to cross the border.
Oh ego my coffee is so huge...

I keep forgetting those. I can see the outlines from my window, and I still keep forgetting them. Okay, mountains it is.

And don't forget, we could just walk down to the coast and scoop up some crude oil whenever we wanted

(Ahem, the real truth is that gas is over $10/gallon and a Ford Fiesta 1.1 liter is considered a decent car)

Haha, same in Finland. We really won the jackpot ��

And what's wrong with the 911 S?

I have eyes.

No, I know, many like the looks of Porsche's but I don't. I have tried to learn that, since with one, I would have had a car for the last 4 months already, instead of waiting and bitching about the Q awful I'm now confined into.

Lups,
It has become blatantly obvious to me (and most likely everyone else), that you are the only sane person on this forum. So, could you explain to me why people are so keen on the P cars over the Lotus Exige? I mean, I have tried too, but I just don't find the splattered bug effect attractive. I am probably being a little harsh with Porsche, but the Lotus is far more attractive, agile, and track oriented. Their reliability is good now, just a little minimalist inside.
Nomex on. ;-)
Hope you've had your pint of java.

I have to start by saying, that females everywhere can tell you flattery never works, but since I'm mainly male anyway by character, my view differ in this too. Thank you, and just for you to keep you good impression, don't read what I write. If the language used resembles English every once in a while, the shitty quality of input surely guns it down.

Man, If I had a dollar every time a Porsche drives me insane here, I would be rich. They are in my experience the slowest things on the roads, and while I do like most of the sounds they make, only thing in my mind is the evil will to go and ask them have they no sense of style. I can understand aerodynamics enough to know why bits and pieces are like they are, but for crying out loud, even minivans are more on the looker side than they are. The fat ass @Sedan_Clan always goes on about looks like the one I face in the mirror: yes, the down hill is steep, and some day I don't have to sit down to get well supported seating.

Lotuses on the other hand are ugly fuckers. They have style, and even if I don't agree with all of the solutions, they are striking. I just drooled over an Exige in the dog park, and as I said, mostly I could pin point what went wrong, the all in all look just fucking works. If I was more of a mechanic, I would get one.

Now, Sedan, when you try to come up with a counter rant, do me a favor and remember, that you would look so sad in one of those, since even if I appreciate your affection for style and using the word style, this is real world. No Cali hippie bull shit.

The usual disclaimer is now replaced with a Foster one.

I have come to the conclusion that both you and Ragged Edge need to acquire glasses, for the squat, buggy, wide assed look of the Porsche is just pure sensation on wheels. Now, the Lotus......that ugly, detestable little Lotus, is not of the same caliber as Stuttgart's finest. They are not striking. An Aston is striking. A Lotus causes an odd grimace.

I have style. I am a style king. Style king's drive Porsches (..or BMW's when they can't afford Porsches ).

[Lups]

Clan, you don't.

Ragged, for get that old geezer, let's stay on the light side of the seeing people, and not go to the eye decease listings to find a proper one to purchase one.

Clan, My eyesight is perfect, hence the hate. You on the other hand need to use those eye sight enhancers. Except of course when you meet me on the road, I never did speed what ever your radar says. I'm innocent! I even do the face of an innocent!

Yeah, the green I'm wearing now works just as fine. I even proposed to my SB boy again, and this time he didn't shoot me down! Okay, rolled his eyes and walked away, but I'm getting there!

Legitimate LOL!! Somehow I knew you would slap back!! great post... and I have no intention of trying to flatter you... I have read far too many of your posts and realize it cannot be done. But to be fair, your comments are FAR more entertaining than anyone else's... NO flattery intended... merely fact. But I wonder what you were doing drooling around a doggie park... never-mind... I'll would rather not know! (my imagination is better than reality).
In any case, I got the answer to what I was wondering... Lotus may not be as reliable... and looks are subjective.

Try again! Persistence pays off. I'll call Lens Crafter's for you.

Gotta agree with your view on Aston... 'cause they were always a looker, but Porsche started out looking horrid! Gotta agree they have improved... slightly, but they truly were squished bugs up until a few years ago.

Haha, the parking lot of the Marymoor dog park here is the shit. I've seen a lot of really rare beauties there, and I can honestly say I don't mind the tiny leaking issue from my mouth when I meet an owner of one who actually is excited about his car.

I end up walking away pissed every time, but I have to give to the population of this dull village, they do tend to make my day in a occasion.

This is a forum full of people chasing their youth back, and enthusiasts going on an on and on about a tenth of a second, it really is not hard to stand out!

Let's not kiss his sorry ass, he knows Aston is a no brain pick to use. He's just trying to point out, that if he has eyes (I doubt it), he has used them once.

[Ragged Edge]

Perkele, and I thought my flattery would be a safe bet as a newbie!! The abrasive, crass, real me is ok here then... yes Sedan needs to get his eyes checked... and so will I, as I keep changing my mind about choosing an M3 or the effing 4.

I just recognize style, and the Aston is style manifested. The Porsche, however, matches my rugged good looks and charm. If the pictures below doesn't whet the appetite, I will assume that you have no taste buds:
