I've thought about this WRT that car. It would not be hard to black out the chrome bits.

Was chatting on another board and it reminded some of us it that from the side profile it had a bit of E46 look to it.

I'd certainly buy this before I bought an F3#.

Floated the idea with other stakeholders, who were really, really appalled by the name. It is a very dumb thing to name a car.

Would not be so bad if it were just on the outside, but there are "SS"s stitched all over the interior.

Switch the wardrobe to Hugo Boss in all black, and drive it ironically?

If you get it in brown, do they change the badges to SD?

I have a couple Helly Hansen jackets -- so have the "HH" logo on them. A woman came up to me once and asked why I had a jacket with such a reference on it. I said, "what? The jacket is from a Norwegian company called Helly Hansen." Her response "Oh, I thought it was a reference to Heil Hitler"

There are a glut of unicorns in local stock so TD, JST and I can each get one. But we won't.

I read somewhere this morning that GM ordered, or commissioned a 1000 unit order to Holden

Hopefully not all automatics
