Automotif CCLXX...

On the one hand, I bemoan the way the entire car market in the US has been swallowed whole by giant bro-dozer trucks, SUVs, and weird blobby crossover thingies like this X6 M50i.

On the other, it's hard to be mad at anything with a twin-turbo V8 thumping out more than 500 horsepower that will do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and scorch the quarter mile in the low twelves. Those were numbers associated with race cars and sportbikes when I first got my driver's license, and everyone was sure that the automotive future of 2021 would be little 3-cylinder diesels and glorified electric golf carts.
