Automotif XXVI...

BMW Z4 3.5: A little over three hundred twin-turbocharged horsepower.

Jaguar XKR: A little over four hundred supercharged horsepower.
Atomic doorstops and weird angular wedgies have come and gone, but "long hood, short deck" has been the automotive styling cue for "fast" since Ettore Bugatti was still wet behind the ears.

    Which is why the old Mustang beat the Camaro for style.

    So, was the BMW driver just reinforcing the stereotype or could there have been a wheelchair symbol on the license plate?

    I like the new F-Type Jag, That Z4 looks attractive as well. Though a fellow in town has a Z8, and that would do nicely, thank you.
    I am getting used to my friend's C7 Corvette, but it will take a while to warm up to that. He says it drives way better than his former car, a C6.
    Spring is finally showing up here in NH -- Yay!

    E-Type Jaguar.
    "The best crumpet catcher ever designed." - I can't remember who said that.

    Ford Mustang GT. 440 honest horsepower, no forced induction required.

    And when I take a picture of a Mustang GT, I'll make a note of that in the caption.

    Also, you're holding it wrong.

    The long hood is more tacticool, in that you've got a greater sighting radius to the hood ornament.
