    In reply to Forza Motorsports 3 Hot Holiday DLC Pack: What's Inside
    Just bought the pack, made a Ferrari 458 Italia with 858hp, and 579 lb-ft torque... this car is mental! My new favorite car in Forza.

    @siva80: I do, but it's not totally insane without it. Car is surprisingly easy to drive. Granted if you do go over that edge a little bit it'll bite back.

    @egoods: That's the hardest part of driving the R1 cars, I find. The line between "you aren't giving it enough gas in this corner and all your opponents are now passing you" and "too much gas, your car is now spinning at 250 rpm" is too fine for my fat fingers. I still refuse to use traction control though.

    I really like luxury haul-ass sedans.

    I really, really do.

    However, I just can't come to terms with the funkiness of this vehicle behind the rear door edge.

    In reply to Porsche Panamera Styling Inspiration Discovered
    Ok, so here it is. I cried blasphemy when the first images of the Panamera appeared. "That rear-end is awful", I shouted. "It would be better if it were a wagon", I continued. Nitpicking the design, I managed to dive deeper into all that is wrong the Panamera design. But then, I decided that I was perhaps being unfair. I should indeed wait to pass judgment on the newest steed in Porsche's stable. At least I could wait until I saw one in the flesh.

    And then I did. And now I drive by it everyday twisting my neck to extend my view of it. Sometimes, it drives by me. It is Auqa Blue metallic with the two tone luxor/beige cream interior and RS Spyder wheels. It is glorious. Ban me now if you feel necessary for saying this, but I like it. I like it a lot. This is a car that must be seen in person to appreciate. It does not photograph well... at all.

    Instead, in person, it is well proportioned. Even the rear end looks appealing. Watching it in motion, the Panamera is graceful and powerful. I must say that I rescind most of the brutal comments I made about this beast. I still think that wagon version would be the bees knees, but the car is very attractive and fits within the Porsche line up appropriately. Especially for those who want to transport more than 2 people and don't want an SUV.

    Simply put, I am a believer and a dreamer. One day perhaps, I might have one.

    Don't ever speak ill of holy Bristol and it's patron saint St. Anthony of Crooks again.

    Walnut veneer splinters under your nails and suchlike forms of "nicely understated" torture will otherwise ensue. In case of further articles in the same vein, please report to the basement of 368-370 Kensington High Street, London W14 8NL.

    @Cheeseslap: I was going to try posting the placard in front of the car at the museum. Yeah, I took pictures of those too. I'll just type it out:

    "Even a Porsche likes to go on family vacations. So professor Ferry Porsche had his technicians and engineers build him a very special car: a Porsche with four doors and four seats. What he got was the 928, a car that met his demanding specifications: a comfortable family car. But always a Porsche."

    Google 928 Studie H 50 for pics. I also got pics of the early, extended wheelbase 911s that were created (for more interior room). The proportions on them are all kinds of weird.

    @Cheeseslap: There is a 4 door 911 made by Troutman-Barnes in CA in the 70's. Nibbles wouldn't let me post it... The 928 was an in-house design and was a gift for the President of ASC. ASC did not produce the car.
