Don't think Chevy's designers were thinking about the sexual smooth moves of a driver and his cute passenger.

They probably thought he could pull those moves at the local bar or restaurant. These days, guys are scared to do anything.

I'm sure they were busy designing a drivers care rather than trying to make it easier for creeps to feel up a girl he just picked up to give a joy ride to. We'll leave that to the 911 ...

I bet they are mocking this guy on the Adidas and Puma forums about American crap.

You show your mental age when you walk around in athletic shoes instead of something more stylish. I probably inflamed a whole lot of folks who like comfort. Oh well...

What about flip flops? I wear Chaco flip flops 100% of the times when I'm not required to wear shoes.

Yeah, this anger and torsional rigidity obsession has reached the streets of Stuttgart. Yikes.

Meanwhile, the Corvette people are p*****g and moaning about ADM, while over on the 992 forum there are people claiming that they have obtained, or been offered, discounts of 2%, 3%, or 5% off MSRP at dealers in the freaking SF Bay Area.

Yeah, I think this one's going to leave a mark on the market.

STG I am as big as a Corvette lover as anyone. I think the C8 is a smash hit and probably has had the biggest media launch in modern car history.

Still, you need to calm down. Endless memes about Porsche is a bit foolish. Porsche didn't get where they are by making substandard cars.

As doddering as some modern Porsche's are, cars like the 935, 993, 2.7 RS are special automobiles.

Loving one brand is asinine.
