Everyone should own a Lamborghini, especially in bright giallo.	For off-roading or on road after the Zombie Apocalypse.	The GT stands for Grand Touring, so touring is right in its name.

In “honor” of this being my 200th SORT, I decided to find the most chosen make and model car picked and “buy” one of each this week. In the Sport category, you just knew it would be a Miata. For Off-Road I would have bet it would have been a Wrangler, nope, Toyota Land Cruiser. And for Touring is was a slew of variations of the BMW 3 Series. Oh, and honor is in quotes above because I picked the worst example of each of the car.

You can definitely get away with brightly body colored calipers on a sports car.	You can’t see the caliper and that is how it should be on this vehicle.	Although this car is sporty the calipers shouldn’t be highlighted like this.

This Miata has 7k miles in 34 years. I had 7k miles on my ’90 Miata in like two months of ownership.	It has the word overland in its name, obviously that has a different meaning 75 years later.	Dang, this sure is beautiful looking piece of rolling art. I have no idea about this car, but now I want one.
