Great i8 reaction this afternoon

So I have an i8 for the weekend (not the one above...the silver one that Okulski had a couple weeks back). It's pretty much my favorite thing in the world right now, and based on the reaction the general public has to it, theirs too.

The best response so far, though, came this afternoon after my daughter's band concert. My sons were getting in the BMW, so the doors were up. One of the moms who was getting into her car with her family saw the i8 and her jaw dropped. Then came the money line:

"Oh my God! The doors open like a Bricklin!"

I wanted to high-five her.

How hard was it to scrub out the smell of Okulski?

I just poured bleach everywhere. BMW's probably gonna be pissed.

Does the booty look like a 911 in real life too?

I'm gonna go with a solid "no" on that.

It's okay, you can tell us. I promise not to let anyone at BMW know.

Dude. Only in the alternate universe in which the 911 looks like an awesome spaceship do those photos look alike.

He means the silver part of the i8 bumper.

Just the general look of the car makes me expect the doors to open with this sound;

I take it all back.

It's a joke, man. Folks have been saying the silver part looks like another car.

Never mind. That's fantastic.

I knew you'd come around.

I feel like I did the first time I saw the hidden image in one of those 3D posters.

Now you shall never un-see this. It is both a gift and a curse.

It's true. I'm ruined.

Now we just gotta work on the front.

I get bored and go on Photoshop.
