Well now, let’s talk about them fancy European sport cars, you know, the kind them rich folks drive. I don’t know much about cars, but I seen some things and heard some things, so I’ll tell ya what I know.
First off, there’s this Porsche somethin’-somethin’. Folks say it’s a real good car, goes real fast. I reckon it must be, seein’ as how much they cost. They got this one called the 911, they say it can fit four people, but I bet it ain’t too comfy in the back, like my old hen house, crowded and not much room to move around. Then there’s the Boxster, I heard that one’s like a little dream car for some folks, real pretty and sporty, you know? I saw one the other day, shiny red, it zipped by so fast it almost blew my hat off! It’s like a young fella full of beans, quick and nimble.
Then there’s them Audis. I heard tell of an R8. Sounds like somethin’ a space rocket would be called, not a car. But folks say it’s a good ‘un, powerful and smooth. I guess if you got the money, it’s a nice thing to have. Probably drives as smooth as butter on a hot skillet.
- Porsche is fancy
- Audi is speedy
Now, there’s this other car, a Lotus somethin’. I heard they make two kinds, Elise and Exige. They been makin’ ’em for a long time, since way back in the nineties, longer than my old mule has been alive. Them cars, they’re like them skinny little chickens, they ain’t heavy, but they’re quick. They say it’s all about bein’ light, makes ‘em go faster. I reckon that makes sense, less weight to carry around, like me after I lost them ten pounds last summer. There’s a new one, called the Sport 220, I guess it’s even faster than the old ones. Probably zips around like a fly in a milk jug.
And then there’s this Alfa Romeo, somethin’ called the 4C. They say it’s real light too, lighter than a sack of potatoes, I bet! Must be why it goes so fast. They talk about “weight sheddin’”, sounds like somethin’ my old dog does in the spring, losin’ his winter coat. But I guess it works for cars too. Them Italians, they know how to make things pretty and fast, even if I don’t understand half of what they’re sayin’. They’re probably good on gas too, not like that old pickup truck of my neighbor’s, drinks gas like a thirsty cow drinks water.
So, them European sport cars, they’re somethin’ else, alright. Fast, fancy, and expensive. Not for folks like me, that’s for sure. But I can still admire ’em from afar, like a purdy sunset or a big ol’ rainbow. They’re somethin’ to look at, and somethin’ to dream about, even if I’ll probably just stick to my old truck till the day I die. It gets me where I need to go, and that’s all that matters to this old woman. But if I ever won the lottery, I might just get me a shiny red Boxster, just to zip around town and show them young’uns a thing or two.
Anyways, that’s all I know about them fancy cars. They’re fast and they’re pretty, but they ain’t practical for a person like me. Maybe if you’re one of them city folks with more money than sense, you’d get one. But for me, I’ll stick to my old truck and my chickens. At least I know they’ll get me where I need to go and they won’t break the bank.
To sum it up, these European sport cars are like a bunch of show ponies – pretty to look at, fast on the track, but not much use on a farm. They got their Porsches, Audis, Lotus, and Alfa Romeos, all with their fancy names and fancy features. But at the end of the day, a car is a car, and these are just the really, really expensive ones.
