Does That Come In Mauve?

I was just reading Mark's post on cars, and it reminded me of somthing I was going to mention. Keep in mind, I am not an automotive guru. You could show me a car with a 2-cycle engine, but if it had sparkly hubcaps, I'd dig it. Just a warning.

As I was waiting to exit a parking lot the other day, I noticed a black car parked on the street across from me. It looked like a sports car that wanted to grow up to be an SUV but hadn't quite hit puberty yet. My immediate thought was, "Hey! Subaru makes a sports hearse!"

Turns out it was the Porsche SUV.

At $41,000 for the stripped-down model, it's too far out of my price range to care, but I felt a bit depressed. Porsche in the SUV market just seems like Pepsi bottling Chardonnay in six-packs.

Have you been watching "Harold and Maude" again?

And listening to Cat Stevens (or whatever he calls himself these days). :)

Thanks for the giggle!

Don't be bad mouthing the two cycle engine. That is the favorite hobby of every bed wetter liberal in this country. Some of us twisted snowmobilers would rather smell Amsoil synthetic race oil than chanel #5.
