The best? Over the latest crop of sports cars? I think the new Mercedes AMG GT is stunning. I'm also a huge fan of the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe. The Aston Martin lineup is lovely. Even the Porsche 991 is all curvy and pretty now in the flesh.
I bought a set of wipers for the BMW the other day. They had a buy one, get one free deal.
When I got them home the package was missing the adapter I needed. I also found out they were kinda crappy, and didn't want them anymore.....so I exchanged them for a set of Rain-X wipers.
When the clerk did the exchange, the computer gave me full credit for the original set. (should've just been one--- as it was BOGO) He gave me the new wipers, and a few extra dollars. I didn't say anything.
Now I feel a bit guilty. Forgive me message board, for I have sinned.....

Okay, when I had my Ford, I listened to a lot of Metallica and White Zombie.
When I had my Subaru, I listened to a lot of Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson and Pantera.
When I had my Golf, I listened to a lot of Fear Factory. A LOT of Fear Factory. I think I exclusively had Remanufacture in there for six or eight months.
I have a Volvo now. In it, I mostly listen to... soft jazz? WTF?
The first time I got stabbed was at a Fear Factory concert.

second time was a gf. she used a pencil, mercifully.
Barry Manilow made some damn catchy music. I heard the end of Copacabana in a hospital elevator today. It stuck in my head so I put it on Pandora to hear it through and spent about an hour listening to Barry's hits. Then "Brandy" popped into my head, which it turns out wasn't by Mr Manilow.
Brandy, Mandy, whatever...
When I price out hoses or o rings I usually round it up to a Chevrolet CID size or a Datsun model.
For example.....
$427.00 each.
$5.10 each.
$240.00 each.
$3.96 each.
Nobody has said a word in 20+ years.

In addition to about half the popular advertising jingles from the '70s and first half of the '80s. I still call him "Barely Maninuff", though.
I replaced the front pads on the Saturn. Forgot to pump the pedal and ended up rolling backwards into my snow plow blade. Cracked the rear bumper cover. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I ate the kid's chocolate rabbit.

I've always thought that anyone who killed that man should be awarded a medal instead of being tried for murder.
So you were at Burgundy's party, too?
My son thinks our house is haunted, I lit sage this morning around 8am to cleanse his room and set off the fire alarm. I was called an shiny happy person, I giggled.
I make home made yogurt on the premise that it is healthy. I have discovered that I like to make it using a quart of heavy cream added to the gallon of whole milk I use when making my yogurt.
A guy we have been having performance issues with at work is supposed to be putting in extra time to get us caught up. When I asked him if he was coming in tomorrow (Saturday) to work he say he couldn't because he is running a 5K. Since he is not the athletic type I laughed in his face and asked him if he was kidding. He was totally serious and looked sad when I said that.
Later I felt bad about my knee jerk reaction - the guy is trying to better himself and my condescending question back didn't really encourage him. He still needs to work a little more improving his work performance maybe he will come in on Sunday?
I randomly give my employees days off for no reason.
You MONSTER!
They should unionise and stop this horrible preferential treatment..
In reply to Datsun310Guy:
Maybe you should have a talk with him on Monday and apologise.
I'm not trying to be a dick about it but a heartfelt apology and seeing that your boss is a decent human being can go a long way to making him want to perform better.

I am wondering if we have a major confession, instead of searching for it, because im lazy.
In reply to Trans_Maro:
Good idea. But I'm not his boss - just a coworker. I'll talk to him today.
