Violent and increasingly dangerous weather phenomena due to increased heat, trapped because of massive carbon emissions from powerful fossil fuel guzzling metal hate mobiles.
All so you can feel good whilst pumping pure Earth killing poison into air as you breeze by.
I hope your happy with your choice. You're basically a mass murderer armed with deadly carbon at your disposal. We are all victims of your selfish and pointless show of fossil fuel induced excess.

Maser: Ace V8 burble, paddle box, lots of toys but no modern toys like iPhone integration etc, exciting, not cheap to run.

I've test driven both a Tesla S and the Maser QP, the Tesla is everything better, but it's fooking boring, and expensive, but I was comparing new tech vs old to see if I could go with it. Still love the noise of a proper petrol engine, well, a tuned one not a 1.1 ltr Pug 206 engine...
Being the age I am, still look on a car as a luxury, perhaps I'd better start thinking of one as a device, like an iPad. Otherwise I'll start spunking money on a yestertech pipe dream.
Eff me, I am finally my Dad now.....

If you want luxury and power, try the BMW M6 or M5. Get a fully loaded one, say 4 or 5 years old with low mileage, and enjoy that 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.

Plenty of room and very comfy.

Very soon my kids will all be financially independent, and we'll wave bye bye to the Volvo XC70 (which is a decent practical car, but a bit dull).
