Default Wow...

No one will ever guess what kind of car I saw today. I'll give you a couple of hints.

1. I've never seen one in person before
2. The maker was involved in the insertion of Subaru to the US market
3. Less than 3000 built
4. Made in Canada
5. Some compare it to the DC 12

BTW Bob... how the hell did you recognize it? If I saw one in person, I would think it was just a kit car.

All right, way to go Scott! That was quick, I was worried I was being to vague.

I did a project on the DeLorean business model, and why it tanked, a few years back. During my research I came across it, and that front wheel well arch is very distinctive.

I just pulled behind a black Nissan GTR today and followed him around for a bit. It looks VERY good in person. He said he bought it in Cali because the Reno ones were sold before he got to them.

The "DeLorean business model, and why it tanked"? Who would have thought a car manufacturer as a front for cocaine money laundering would have failed?!

When I was at the GSR last night a guy was checking out a Pantera and he turns to his friend and says "This is the car that was in Back to the Future."

Another guy told his buddy that they were AWD...

My friends and I were stunned.

Dude.

I surrender my Crown of Thorny Anger[tm] to you. I fear I have mellowed somewhat in my old age, and you deserve this honor more than I.

The King is dead. Long live the new King.

And Bobby used to be such a nice guy... he's really taken quite a turn in the last year or so... I've been saying for a long time now that working at Nissan of Reno corrupts minds.

Unfortunately bign is simply part of a larger machine, and killing him won't make a difference. Someone else will simply step in and take his place. Which is why I'm devoting all of my money to hiring a team of researchers to develop a fatal virus that only affects douche bags. I'm taking donations.

Does Bob have the ambition to follow through though? I think He will run out of steam and just eat a crunch bar on his couch/loveseat and watch a rerun of House
