GTO wasn't even part of the discussion. Sure, a 64 GTO would murder a 64 Mustang. I fail to see the relevance.

Never claimed to. Nor do I have a strong burning desire to know every fact about every motorsport. Trans Am racing never really caught my interest quite like rally, GP, and touring cars.

Never said that they were wrong. I'll admit that I have some bias, but don't we all?

I appreciate cars as feats of engineering, no matter the make and model.

You're missing the point that I was making. I give up.

I seem to recall, back in the 70s and 80s, the Camaro was referred to as a 'secretary car'; a car bought by female first time new car buyers with their new paychecks from their first adult jobs (secretary)... :hmmm:

I'm laughing my puny ass off over starting a battle about car makes. My point was merely people tend to adopt brands and there you are, plus, I love to get a dig in about BMW drivers. In my world they are only eclipsed by Prius, er Pre-ass, drivers for oblivious self-righteousness. Tesla Model S drivers tend to be car lovers and drive with awareness.

Prius is a pension car here, hippies can't afford it but elderly are quickly talked into buying one. And the Tesla is the CEO car.

Here it tends to be BMW or Mercedes long sedans (not sure about proper classification, as I know more about tanks than about cars)

In my opinion thougb cars are over rated. They should be means of transportation, not luxury.

Almost all SUVs.
Bad visibility, weighs tons (thus completely useless in rough terrain with broad tyres etc, you need slim ones and very few weight), waste of interior space though blown up outside, look like moving cancer.

Whoever "designed" this made me look for a vomiting icon smily:

They block the view from all "normal" cars, and the users are mostly crappy, egomanic drivers, completely helpless in a bit of rain in front of the opera.

Here its Subaru WRX drivers there is a pelthra of them here. Most likely because lots of young people at FT. Campbell buy them then realize that they are not ideal daily drivers and going to a cash advance store each month to pay the note gets tiresome. So they either sell them it get repossesed. Then the locals buy those. I'm surprised that there are very few if its direct counterpart Lancer around.

Something pickup/SUV related I find very over rated is the whole "Mall Rat" lift and glass packed exhaust trend. All that and the thing would fall apart on a trail.

:har::haha::har::salute: I call them the " Pious".

Speaking of Pious drivers, I almost smurfing crushed one about an hour ago. They got a good honking at and an admonition to learn to drive. My blood pressure is back to normal.

The 1960's


Times I hear people say the 1960's in London was so hip and cool and.... :|\\

Shut up I don't care! :hulk::hulk:
