He obviously doesn't know a VTEC from a V8.

Look at what happened to the Taurus SHO.  At first it only came in a stick.
Later it only came in an automatic.  But then again, that's a Taurus (albeit
a rather fast one...)

I wonder what he'd think of the Formula Lotus that's been at a few local BMW
CCA events?  Or a Formula 1 car?

Sounds like the guy's idea of a performance car is a '69 Chevy Nova SS.
Which is an excellent performance vehicle for what it is - a straight line
behemoth.  But don't ask it to turn!!!  I always wanted to try my fiance's
old '71 Nova at an autox just to see how bad it would be, but I digress...

The funniest thing to me is that all the minuses he cited are pluses in my
book!

> -  His favorite thing about the car is the push button start?

Maybe it reminds him of the push button bypass he rigged in his Dodge Aries.
:)

> I bet his review of the Grand Caravan was glowing...

Sounds like more his speed - or, I should say, lack thereof.
