| Bring A Trailer rarely fails to disappoint, but today is an exceptionally fruitful day. Not one, but three delightfully kitschy relics of the Reagan era are on sale, offering something for a broad spectrum of tastes, whether you like new wave, metal or the burgeoning urban genre known as "hip-hop".
Option 1: The Callaway Corvette – This baby did not age well. The teal paint and "ribbed for her pleasure" body cladding evoke the worst possible Corvette stereotypes; impotence, pattern baldness, substance abuse. The 345 horsepower figure isn't anything to write home about in an era where a Lincon MKWhatever Ecoboost would leave it for dead at a stop light. But like those impossibly high-cut bikinis, it's still appealing in a strangely retro way. Recommended soundtrack: The Scorpions – Rock You Like A Hurricane Option 2: The AMGrey Market Mercedes – if you've ever fantasized about yourself and Lorenzo rollin in a Benzo, this one's for you. The monochromatic red aesthetic looks Straight Outta Compton' by way of Stuttgart, and there's room for yourself plus three additional fly honeys. Well, sort of. It's a two seater, but you can definitely have a couple others sit on the rear deck as you slowly cruise down the main drag, puffing on a Philly Blunt. This 500SL makes today's AMG cars seem like commoditized simulacra intended for the spouses of developing world plutocrats. Oh, wait a minute… Recommended sountrack: Eric B & Rakim – Paid In Full Option 3: The RUF 911 – this car kills novice drivers. 'Nuff said. This is about as far removed from a Cayenne as one can get. I'll take it. Recommended soundtrack: The stereo was removed by RUF to shave 1.3 kilograms off the curb weight from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com | |||
