If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Tesla Model X. I think it's the first time I've seen one in person. There are a few Model S in town.

i see a bunch of x's out near me...

so mine was on the way home. I was in the jag, which looking all murdered out, I'm sure people think I'm a kid itching to race.... spoiler... I am not.

other kid in a c63 amg with aftermarket rims keeps passing, pulling in front, braking, going back beside, then behind... I keep trying to avoid eye contact and remain 12 over the limit... when he jets back in front to take the exit, its the same one I take, and he just nails it... it sounded awesome, so, me being a dummy, nailed it as well... quite harmonious.

...problem is that its like a puppy thinking I want to play. now he's all over trying to make me take the bait... at one corner that is about a 60 degree, he stays back from the line and when the light changes, just hammers it and drifts around the corner throwing smoke and just putting on a show...

I felt bad... I slowly crept around the corner. turns out he lives a km or so from me...

I think I'm going to have to get used to this kinda thing in this car.

I've seen a few around here. Its remarkable how unremarkable they are, beyond bland. Could be some nameless Kia or Nissan or Chevy SUV.

Sounds like it could get quite embarrassing driving that thing....I'll give you 50 cents on the dollar for what you paid.  I'm only trying to help.

I can have my explorer run for 15 minutes with the AC on, using the remote starter.  I do that in the summer sometimes for my dog when I'm on a quick errand.

I'd avoid the Steely Dan, though.

A brown on beige Lexus SC 430.  It looked fantastic in that colour. Especially the wheels.

I didn't like them as much as their predecessor, but thought they were ok, style wise. The look has grown on me, especially in light of the grouper mouth overstyling that's going on currently.

^ I'm pretty sure you're right about it being a "wife's car". Pretty sure most of these were bought for that reason.

I guess I can say it has grown on me as well. Also to clarify - I view this as a "wife car" so my comments need to be understood from the context of my wife would look good driving one.  ;D

Is your wife 60?  :P
