    Again, I'm taking the low road on this. All those prety Ferraris, Porsches, and Ford GTs. People seem to get excited about looking at these thoroughbreds, but like the horses that were in the run for the roses, only used to delight the wealthy elite that gather at these events, raising champagne glasses, and toasting the good life, while the workers at their factories that provided the lifestyle they've grown accustom to get thrown out on their proverbial asses, or worse yet, made to perform their tasks with no insurance, no pension, and with substandard wages.


    Ah the good life, as long as you can afford to stand on the back of the working class, nothing is truly out of reach.

    @elwood: oh phuleeze.... NASCAR is exactly the opposite. All the cars look the same, instead of Champagne, the audience is swilling in very stale, very cheap beer; instead of dressing to the nines, they are barely dressed at all; Instead of conversation in a hushed and reserved manner, there are streams of expletives; And instead of very expensive, somewhat advanced motorcars on the track, there are very expensive, not at all advanced motorcars on the track.


    Huh, maybe it's not as opposite as I thought it was.

    @jodark: That really makes absolutly no sense at all. Last time I looked, the French don't have mass graves since the 1940's, neither do the Dutch, the Danes, the Belgians, the Swiss, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Fins, or the Spanish. Don't equate Socialism with Totalitarianism, in which the key ruler is large and in charge. Examples of the latter? President: Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe; Senior General Than Shwe of Mianmar (the former Burma) is another example; President Kim Il of North Korea, is another brutal example.


    So don't preach to me that socialism equates third world barbarism, as it most certainly does not. Scare tactics like this is what the previous administration used to control and enhance power. It doesn't work anymore.

    And those cars aren't too bad either, the Ford GT, the S7, the Masers, the Astons, the Ferraris, the Vettes, the Lambos...


    Heck, even the Porsches look alright, and the BMW 6 and GT-R are starting to make a little sens... wait... uh... actually no.

    Dear Auto Insider,


    I have a small problem that I think you may be able to help me with. You see, I am a carmosexual male and sometimes have problems "controlling myself" when faced with gratuitous car pr0n. I tend to get over-excited and then I ejaculate.


    You are probably wondering what this has to do with you. Here's the deal: can you please let me know a day in advance when you are going to post gratuitous car pr0n on Jalopnik? Things like Supercar Teardown, pictures of the Ford GT in full race trim, etc. tend to lead to me unloading my man-juice in my pants. If I have advance warning I will know to bring a change of pants.


    Thank you and forever yours,
