Good point. That could be bad.

Cold front is here... Strong north wind and bitter cold. Feels like the temp dropped 20-30 degrees in an hour

We have a 40% chance of S tomorrow. High of 40

I still don't understand the hate for his designs btw...

because the back-end of this car epitomizes bangle's 'designs':

Does Chris Bangle Deserve A Lifetime Achievement Award For Car Design?

that has got to be in the top ten worst rear-ends in the history of motorsports. and completely unnecessary.

Hi of 90 tomorrow. Sunny. Clear. Might try to go stand up paddle boarding at the lake at the end of the day before I pick up the boys. :)

Go ahead Tweeze, rub it in. You know Beth and I are just a couple of signatures away from moving there

Not rubbing it in... Trying to convince you to hurry up because this is the best time of the year! Until about April...

Rick V 11-11-2013 05:52 PM

We just put our house on the market at the wrong time of year. I suspect we will have one last winter to suffer through.

nynor 11-11-2013 05:53 PM

hah! apparently i am not alone:

"Time magazine named the E65 as one of the 50 Worst Cars of All Time for its rear end styling and iDrive functionality, while there were several online petitions pressing BMW to sack Bangle"

2002 BMW 7-series - The 50 Worst Cars of All Time - TIME

"The other flaw? The silly bubble butt, called the Bangle Bustle, after lead designer Chris Bangle."

LOL!

All companies have flaws... ;) Look at the 914! ;)

The Z4 is a bangle design and pretty damn sexy IMHO.

nynor 11-11-2013 06:06 PM

rick, i think he left in 2009. however, they have yet to find a way to recover from his 'styling'.

sid, to me, the z4 looks like a pollywog.

Ok now I fell like Jeff is rubbing of on you. WTF is a bangle bucket?
It translated in my head as 'puss barge 5hitbox'. It appears that I hit it pretty close. :)

tweezers74 11-11-2013 06:10 PM

What's a pollywog? My vocabulary has expanded so much since joining this thread.

RKDinOKC 11-11-2013 06:13 PM

Now everybody else is copying the banger mobiles too.

RKDinOKC 11-11-2013 06:15 PM

pollywog is a frog that is between tadpole (no legs) and Frog (no tail). Sometimes refers to the mudfish that have legs like salamanders and craw around in the mud, mudskippers.

Z4, the clown shoe of sports cars.
