My Jeep is a heavily modified vehicle that I use in motor sports - not really a sports "car".
In spite of their dubious claims to sports-car-dom, I've had every last one of them (except the Jeep) going 60mph sideways through a corner in a 4-wheel drift, some of them airborne over whoop-de-do's, and in the case of the E-Type, in spite of it's fondness for the toolbox, wagging it's tail at just about every American Muscle car that ever took the bait. With the Jeep I just pop wheelies.
There were lots of other forgettable cars in my driving past (since 1973), the Crossfire is definitely loads better than most all of them. Even the Jaguar E-Type you say? Yes. The Jag had the mystique and the visual impact, but as most people know, it lived up to its reputation for being notoriously unreliable. It stopped people dead in their tracks every time they saw it, but it never gave me half the pleasure the Crossfire has given me. And I am pretty sure the Crossfire could out-run it.
Forget labels, if you like the car, that's what matters.
What I want to know is where can I get a hat like this? Now that's a sports car hat!
And one handsome handsome man...
haha #1- that volvo is awesome, Ive never seen one before.
#2- you NEED that hat, too bad it was the only one left. We found that bad boy at work tucked away. It had to be left over from the 80's. I actually bought it to give to my friend because he bought these funky 80's jumpsuits off ebay.
That chart was pretty interesting... If I call it a sports car can we go back to being handsome, handsome friends and move on?
