I feel you in my heart, and know you have The Correct Answer, but I thought more people would like the Testarossa. I was torn between the Testarossa and the DeLorean.

Giogetto Giugiaro is CLEARLY the best designer of the last seventy years.

And it's not like dealerships have just been around forever and are an unchangable part of life.

We've just accepted that the second most expensive thing people own can only be distributed by the most dishonest, skeezy, underhanded pieces of poo poo in our society.

They've stolen and skimmed so much money they're able to use it control local politics in most places.

What fever dream was I having where I thought goons would buy a Model 3. Prius was right there.

Oh there were a couple of Model Y answers, that makes sense.

don't mind me, I'm just out hunting.

I must be out of touch, I assumed the Toyobaru twins would be a popular DD decision.

Then again, I DD'd the S2k for 9 years, and only recently got a hot hatch so it can be retired to weekend duty to keep miles off. I should have assumed poor decision making.

Either way, looks to be a fairly wolfy run this year.
