Again, from Autoweek "Cars like the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet C6 Corvette make most anyone look good, but the Viper exposes mediocre talent with less sensitivity than that British clown on American Idol." This is so true.

Great post, John
A portion of your post reminded me of an old interview, decades ago, which Playboy Magazine had with Enzo Ferrari, that went something like this: (I'm paraphrasing)
PLAYBOY: Mr. Ferrari, what do you do on an average day when you're just hanging out with your friends ?
ENZO FERRARI: I don't have very many friends
PLAYBOY: What ! You don't have many friends ? Why do you say that ?
ENZO FERRARI: Because most of my friends keep getting killed in my automobiles !
(the saddest words of prose and pen, are the words, "what might have been")
