Please stop putting a gigantic chrome b-pillar on your cars. It does not make them look like top-tier luxury machines. It makes them look like this:

This is not a look that anyone should ever desire for their car.

For some reason I find this styling element slightly less offensive on the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Then again, I love the Rolls-Royce Phantom and very few things will ever change that. Also, on the Roller, it appears to be more of a brushed aluminum finish rather than full mirrored chrome.

I keep forgetting how good the DTS looks until I see it in black.

I would proudly rock that DTS.

Your taste is bad and you should feel bad.

It’s ok I suppose. Too bad most of them are in crappy shape and/or covered in Autozone chrome bits.

Most anything looks good in black. It’s super effective!

Also like 90% of them are metallic beige with a vinyl top.

My taste is awesome and I feel great. Liking just what is to be expected and is considered tasteful is for suckers with no personality.

Yup, sticking to the norm is definitely the best strategy, 100%, no doubt, all the way, fo’sho, you got it aaaaaaall right.

If I ever get to the point where I gotta be chauffeured, I’m skipping cars.

Yes, that’s a Sprinter.

I absolutely love those Sprinter private jet-style vans. My only complaint, and the reason why I might still keep and S600, is because I want to be able to tell my chauffer to “Step on it!” and actually have something happen.

I’m assuming I’m likely going to be in an area where this is normal:

At which point, standing up and stretching my legs is far more likely than being able to stretch a car’s legs.
