A sad, sad day

Thankfully, this is not mine. The crazy woman in the BMW ran a red light. (Yes, oddly enough, the driver at fault was female...)

You must be thinking of someone else, I have a w202. That's not my 202 though, a friend's. Does anyone know which model BMW that is? I think its a new 745i...

Yep, it's a 745. It also belongs on the ugliest cars list of all time. Ford Edsel, BMW 745, Pontiac Azteck, Ferrari Enzo, ....I'm waiting for an upclose picture of the new SLK. But it's not looking so hot.

I agree with you on the Aztek and the Edsel, but I kinda like the Enzo. Its different, but just the fact that you'd be driving a $1,000,000 car is enough.

Yeah but still. You'd get a better reaction driving a McLaren F1. And that at least looks good. The only complaint about the Enzo is the nose. It looks like a pig.

Yeah, just about anything with gullwing doors will get you some looks. I recently had the opportunity to ride around in a Mercedes 300sl Gullwing. Non-stop gawking. I went to the gas station, and at least 5 people walked up and just started asking questions. Most people actually thought it was a Ferrari until they saw the star in the grille.
