He actually feels that way because of his need for people to bow to
the once mighty ZR1. Which leads me to the theory that *most* people
who own/drive ZR1`s are just plain arrogant, self centered, phony,
immature a(at)(at)holes. That condition is aggravated by the rattling of
their brain because of the shaking of the "flexible flyer" called the
C4. ;-p
On the other hand all Corvette owners deserver to receive a friendly
wave. That in its self does not preclude the probability that there
are a few jerks in the ranks. In the 49 1/2 years of waving to and
associating with Corvette owners I`m met a few of master race and
others that own them to enjoy the experience. More than once I`ve
decided to get out of Corvettes because of the master race
mentalities. Then a new owner comes into the circle an it`s a joy to
watch them become a true Corvette enthusiast.
As for the cell phone thing I would think we need to get used to that
as it will be here just as the non-waving Corvette owners will always
be among us.

Title: Men Are Back, Armed with Problems, and a Repertoire of Worries

 The SX4 - The men in black Well the headline maybe disappointing for many who own the SX4 and all men, but I do need to mention that the SX4 has some cool properties as any men would do. If one compares the SX4 with the erstwhile Baleno, which the SX4 replaced, it is silly to do so as the SX4 sedan is brilliance personified in comparison and built on an all-new platform. Sporting an Italian design, the SX4 has been developed as a crossover of designs for developing markets. Maruti has also introduced the all new aluminium M-series engine (M16A) for this car.
The SX4 looks pumped up shoulder to shoulder when compared with its predecessor, slightly longer I guess, much taller and wider. The well designed cabin looks massive and carries on over the boot which has ample boot space. the bonnet is steeply raked and there is plenty of room for passengers to park themselves both in the front and the back seats. The looks (both interiors and exteriors) which could be the best fit for the song – hey muscular, hey popular, spectacular…. A stunner when it comes to looks. The steering is slender and there are lots of nooks for storage in addition to the twin glove-boxes.
But pappu can’t dance sala as that’s not all that you would look for in this segment and a clear benchmark would be the arrow headed Honda City. As an automobile freak and having driven the Honda city from their initially launched model, I have fallen in love with the Japanese elegance called the City. Maruti is well-aware of this fact and ensured that the SX4 is not an ‘also-ran’ vehicle. It comes fully loaded and is available at an attractive price. So, is it good enough to give a run for the City at the helm? More on: http://brandvc.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/men-are-back-armed-with-problems-and-a-repertoire-of-worries/
