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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

It translated in my head as 'puss barge 5hitbox'. It appears that I hit it pretty close.

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.
