Cars worth Dying in
After watching a bit of the depressing movie The Bridge, I decided to think about how suicide and cars can be tied into a theme. In decent taste, of course. Suicide is a very serious thing and depression is nothing to laugh about. I have many close people to me who suffer from it. But then I thought, "What kind of car would I drive off the Golden Gate Bridge, if it was to be my last drive ever?". That kind of thinking leads to some serious questions.
Would it be a Lotus Elise? No, definately not cool enough. Plus the ride is hard as hell. Lamborghini Revention? No, the car is seriously quick but I doubt I could get over the gaudy reflective styling. I know, how about a Ferrari F40? Enzo? 348? Nope. While red remains a favorite car color of mine, the idea of spending eternity in an Italian car frightens me. I honestly don't think I could handle it. So after some serious soul searching I visited Top Gear's cool wall and pretended to that I was Jeremy Clarkson. You know? The cool guy who has driven literally every car in existence and still calls some Porsche's crap. But people who drive high end cars all the time have a critical flaw: They get biased. I didn't want that.And so I kept thinking.
The Bugatti Veyron would be up there on the choice list, but it would be a terrible sin to destroy a car that is capable of 252 MPH and still keep all it's working bits together. I briefly fancied the thought of driving out in history in a F150 pickup truck (a dually of course), blaring some 80's country music - The Oak Ridge Boys. At any rate, the car I chose for this pointless story would be a Nissan GT-R. I love Godzilla.

It'd be that or an Austin Martin Vantage.
