I know it's not a fair comparison, but I got a bit of grief for my fancy-ass British luxo-barge being shown-up by the new-hire with a Kia.
We got those sort of comments all the time. And since we had the K5 badges on it people thought it was some sort of Lexus. We would still have it if we could have gotten over the torque steer and wheel hop... Didn't lose too much money on them though when we sold it on at Carmax. Got more for it than I thought we would really.

Edit: this was our first one.



Second one was Remington Red and looked a tad better after more mods than the Snow White Pearl.
