IMO it looks a lot like that SNL cartoon car. The one from the incredibly gay duo. There is a BMW that looks like that too.

There's an argument to be made that the definition of Sports Car has changed over the years to include "fast" and "powerful" which those cars weren't, but they are the cars that defined the term "sports car" originally.

Fair enough. You have a good points, and, really, I find it hard to argue with you... all points you make are quite valid.

It's the Monte Carlo daily driver connection, I think - unless you get that GTO! Then I'll be hacked. LOL.

Convincing the new wife on a new GTO, while trying to build a house is proving to be a tough one...

I feel for you. Definitely. I've still got a couple years on the Monte payments, but it's hard to convince the wife the GTO is a good deal and a great "family car." At least I have a little time to keep working on her and hope for hood scoops.
