Typical driver of them

Paris Hilton drives one, (badly).

You see her glancing in the rear view mirror, she doesn't see YOU behind her.
No, she sees herself, so HOT, in the mirror, and is well pleased. The rear view mirror exists so she can check herSELF out.

Biggest problem with these cars, is the wrong kind of people buy them and for the wrong reasons too. Not sauer grapes either.

Cars as well as other things, but especially cars. I guess that's just a sad fact of life, Jim. At least folks like us that love them for what they are may get a shot at owning some of these gems one day when the shallow, yet wealthy status-seekers are done with them.

I saw one on the freeway yesterday coming back from Long Beach, traffic was moving about 5mph so I got a good look and snapped a couple pics with my cell phone (I'll post 'em as soon as I email them to myself). Very sexy car!
