I had to walk a fine line between doing this instead of working, but not being so involved in doing it that it was obvious that wasn’t working.

1. Troll Concours.

2. Give the money to Gawker so they could buy better lawyers and not lose lawsuits on merits.

My version of that would actually involve an Aston Martin Cygnet, at least for starters.

make my own top gear show, but without cameras, an audience and no star in a fake rallycross car.

When I started, I wondered why the E-Type didn’t line up exactly, because I always thought they were probably around the same length. Then I looked at Wikipedia and discovered that the Weinermobile is 27 feet long.

I notice that Chris Evans is conspicuously absent from your list of things that you wouldn’t include.

So you would troll every AM car club in existence? This is probably a very noble use of the money.

A Cygnet with “tasteful mods”, by which I mean Daytons and a ‘70s/Superflyish off-color British flag vinyl. Once I was done trolling every AM car club in existence I’d move on to the Scion car clubs, for a twisted upside-down version of the same thing. Then get a Chrysler TC to annoy Italian meets with. Then back to the Cygnet, and start trolling Jaguar meets for no conceivable reason.

“I know.”

Counterpoint, buy gawker, divest all of it except Jalopnik and Oppositelock. Then use that money from the divestiture and then buy up the other online car news sites and create a car media empire.

At a Scion meetup, nobody would have any clue what you had or why you were there. But they’d all deem your ride ‘dope’ and ‘hella’.

I drove past the Oscar Mayer factory on Monday. They had like 8 Wienermobiles parked out front.

That’s a lot of the fun of that phase of the idea. Going among the land of the bad taste with an atrocity further atrocitized... “And then they made me their chief”.

2. Swimming pool full of orange jell-o

3. Go to concourse in cargo shorts

Sit that body on top of a DB5.

The DB5 is 5' longer than a Cygnet, which means even accounting for the loss of extra tail length, there’s enough room to make the iQ platform sitting on a DB5 a four door. More or less a microvan.

Yeah, I know you probably meant the Oscar Meyer thing on a DB5. Not putting a Cygnet on a DB5. I was talking about just taking a Cygnet to Aston meets - it’s insult enough.
