And, FWIW give me an airplane with holes in the wings over a punctured condom all day, every day. Do they accept towed in Miatas as trades?

The airplane had holes in the wing before it took off (but yea > that too).

Wow, Why wouldn't you call? It's just what you want (or close enough.)

I was assuming because he had already decided on the turbo 4.

I like some green cars, but this one just doesn't work for me. Maybe track-only color. Awful as a daily, sticking out like the Hulk or a Green Giant ad or something.

Yes. And I want to get through winter in the Focus. It’s not hard to not call (in fact I kind of forgot I saw and wrote that this morning until just now) today. If I see something similar in about 8 weeks, it’ll be more of a problem.

So, my wife and kids give me shit about the FoST being a douchey car. In a douchey color (it’s kind of a deeply saturated blue, but douchey? Whatever). Often with douchey stickers on it. And with a douchey license plate. My wife is embarrassed to drive it. When she sees people taking pics of the license plate, she says she starts blushing, and blah blah blah. But they all say, at least it doesn’t sound douchey. Because it can’t, kinda. Because it’s too fucking quiet, but okay. In weeks more recent than my post with those pics, I’ve been thinking I might want white for a 1LE. There’s something about it as a white car with black hood and huge black wheels. Beyond that... There’s something inside me that wants more color in my life. Last year, I was visiting someone in a hospital and looking out the window down at the Capital Beltway. Almost every car was a bland, boring, dark or unsaturated color. Most of the cars I’ve had have been the same. The ones that weren’t, I didn’t have much of a choice and they generally didn’t last long. Other sort of color and design choices in my life have largely been the same. A lot of [color]/gray painted walls, beige carpets, plain brown wood floors, etc. Mostly, I want that in a car, too, but I also want to get out of my comfort zone. If it’s a douchey car (and a middle aged man in a pony car is douchey, no question), if it’s going to have an exhaust that makes sure it’s noisy, if it’s going to have douchey stickers on it for much of the year, maybe best to go full douchey. For the turbo 4 Camaro, if I have a choice, I may go dark gray. I still really like the blue, but almost all the Camaros are that blue because it looks great. But the other “real” colors all feel like they fall a little flat on the non V8 cars with their plainer hoods, front ends, etc.

I haven't seen the current gen Camaro in Yellow. I didn't like the previous gen yellow at all, and you know how I feel about yellow cars.
I know a lot of them are blue, but it looks great in blue. |
