I was not pleased. Neither was Dan. John Mayer? Really? Can't the girls just go? We'll go somewhere manly like Hooters.
Nope, the women insisted. Those of you who are married know what I mean. So, we begrudgingly went. The entire way up to The Palace and while waiting for the concert to start we were making fun of John Mayer (usually by calling into question his sexuality) and many of the fans (there were several "men" there in tight black pants and eyeliner).
Then John Mayer came out and started playing. Look, I'm not going to say that he totally won me over, but the man can play and he can sing. Extremely well.
Both Dan and I afterward had to admit that it wasn't as bad as we had imagined.
Now, John has scored more engineerd Cool Points (ePC patent pending) for driving the sexiest car Ford ever produced in the best livery ever to adorn any racer.

Because I would do a lot worse to get my grubby hands on a GT. A lot worse.

And he's got great taste in cars. It confirms my original standard, by which I started listening to him, was correct.
If Clapton thinks he kicks ass, who am I to argue?

And he's got somewhat of a sense of humor, too:

With that said, he is a great business man.

@Feds: Those are up there, but the Gulf livery takes the cake in my world.

That said, I have no problem with him or his music, at all. But if he puts out a blues record, I can't wait to hear the lyrics.

Let's see, there is Vanessa Carlton, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Rachael Stevens, Rhona Mitra, Jessica Simpson, Camron Diaz, Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston, and Scheana Marie.
All this, and his car collection too. Life is definitely unfair.

Just wanted to thank Jalopnik for recognizing my man hood. I know I was a big of an ass lately, you know dumping girlfriends via Twitter and all, but I just want to let you all know that I'm not gay. See, here is proof. I bought a car that I can't get a blow job in, but sure as hell will get one when I get out. Not that I had any problems with that in the first place, the songs sort of help me with that. Anyway, thanks for posting my car.

Unlike Ford, Honda, and Suzuki, you're PAYING to wear that livery on your car (or bike), rather than being PAID to wear it, as the real race team was. NEWSFLASH: You're NOT a roadracer, you're not factory sponsored, you're just pretending to be something you're not -- which is the very defintion of POSEUR.

If anyone other than Steve McQueen drives a Bullitt Edition Mustang, are they a poser?
Actually, Steve McQueen shouldn't even drive a Bullitt Mustang, since he's technically posing as Frank Bullitt.
This leads to the question of why did Frank Bullitt drive a Mustang? That makes him a cop posing as a '60s secretary.
Why did '60s secretaries drive Mustangs anyway? Everyone knows they're just posing as men, since they should really just be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen with a baby on their hip.
Therefore, my only logical hypothesis is that Steve McQueen posed as a pregnant woman in one of his most famous roles. Is that like dividing by zero?

@SmartAspen: I think you just turned it to zero.

I kid. I agree. Race car livery on the street is a bit silly looking.
