Dear Throttled,

I have never bad mouthed our cars and lately they are getting some well deserved love.

IMHO our cars are works of art, now don't get me wrong I am not saying this Joe can paint over a Monet and make it better, to each his own, make it sing to you.

What I am saying is I like the looks of the wing on my car, yes it is over the top and most likely will never see any kind of real use at speed, but I like the look. I also like the "ugly front 5 mile an hour bumper" it brings the car to a point... now would I like to have a pre L with the small bumper also... yes. The paint on my car is yellow gold pearl not exactly factory color... so what I like it and if they had the color in the 70's it should have been that color. Just because some of us like the big flares that came on only a few cars or the big wing and some people want the original gas that came in the cars when they were new does not mean we are bad owners of the brand but I agree with you that when we talk down the brand it does no good for anyone.

I stand with you, Fire suit on!!
