Writer's Block: I'm in love with my car

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'm not a car person, my Top Gear love notwithstanding--all I care about in a car is that it gets me from A to B reliably--but even I can tell you in a heartbeat that the real decision for me is not so much "What kind of car?" as it is "What color Bugatti Veyron 16.4?"

Probably something like this:

i can see why. that car makes me think, "OMG WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE." it would make 60s SF illustrators die of dehydration from drooling so much.

Oh yes--I love that car as much for its style as for its technical prowess. A two-tone color scheme would be horribly gaudy in a lesser designer's hands, but I could stare at a Veyron all day.

Ohoho man. Thanks for adding to my very small pool of cars that excite me. WHERE is the Matchbox version naoplzthxu!?

...I do like cars, but in a very theoretical sense. I don't drive one at all. >

I know what you mean. This (and possibly the Pagani Zonda) is really the only car I've ever coveted. There are model Veyrons but they tend to be hard to find and expensive. I eventually resorted to making my own (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/200139.html) :-)
