When it's not OT, but not exactly not OT, it's courteous to point that out.

At least you didn't title the thread, "Interesting thing" to make us click on it to see if it is in fact interesting...

I'd never do that. I have far too much respect for everyone's time.

If I was CEO of Ford, I'd ask for a GT40 instead.

You can't really go wrong with a GT40.

I would imagine the Ford Motor Company provides a chauffeur driven Lincoln Continental limousine to the CEO.

Probably right, but what's the fun in that?!

Fun was for having back in college.

There is more to the life of being a captain of industry than having fun.

Alrighty then, Ace!

Plus common sense would indicate that it's a lot more work to get laid in a GT 40 than it is in the cabin of a limousine.

Middle aged guys don't want to work to get laid in cramped quarters.

We did all that shit back in college.

Or you could drive the GT40 to your house and get laid there. Or any other available building. Like a hotel. I hear people enjoy those establishments.

But some women just dig doing it in the car.

When I was at Michigan, I had this one girlfriend, she would want to go outside and do it in her car that was literally parked outside of the window of her bedroom in the driveway.

I'm just saying these days, if I got a date that wants to do it in the car I'd rather do it in the cabin of the limo than in the GT 40. That's just me. I don't mind if the car is parked outside of the chick's bedroom.

Of course the limo would be better. However, I think Ford's CEO can afford to have a GT40 and a company supplied limo. If you need the extra room, go with the limo. If you want to have a fun drive, take out the GT40 or Shelby Mustang.

I agree and think your position in this regard is quite reasonable.

I love how these threads develop.

Yep! I did not expect a couple of comments about a GT40 to go this route.

I've driven Shelby Mustangs and Porsche's and Jags and all kinds of cool sports cars back in the day.

I actually drive around in a Mazda 3 and that little compact actually has quite a bit of zip to it (I guess that's why the commercials say "zoom, zoom;") I think of it as the economy compact that thinks it's sports car.

At this point in my life, though, if I had the option, I'd probably want to be driven around in a big giant limo almost all the time; whether I was getting laid or not.

Every now and then I drive up to Tahoe or San Francisco or out to Phoenix or somewhere; if I was gonna do that and I had unlimited resources, I might want to drive a hot sports car.

Although if I had unlimited resources, I'd probably just take a private jet instead, and get picked up by a limo.
