I learned that if I call the 5th gen Camaro a bro-car, my Dart becomes a "fake ricer". Who knew?
The wheels go on tonight, assuming I don't manage to end up in the hospital again. For the record, I'm going for an almost Euro look with it, definitely not Rice.

Isn't it a linguini-er?

Uhh... what? How? Huh?? If the dart is anything but a US compact it'd be a "fake euro" ;)

Right? I could see the Caliber SRT4 maybe being deemed a fake ricer because of its Mitsu platform. But my Alfa-derived, Ohio-built, Fiat-powered Dart?

Ultimate irony? American Jalops wish for Alfa Romeos, we the Giulietta as a Dart, European Jalop wishes for Dart. It's definitely more attractive than the Giulietta.

The dart is a VERY good looking car, the rear arches is a tiny itsy bit too small, but other than that I love the design.

Im really not entirely sure. Something along the lines of a naturally aspirated Cobalt SS with a fart can? Or apparently a mostly stock Dart on steelies.

It looks a bit fat sometimes, but those taillights make up for it.

Best way to combat it is to roll with it and own it.
I mean, if I call my car (a C4 Corvette) a cheap plastic tub all by myself, that kind of takes the wind out of any insult people can levy against it. They'd have to resort to insulting my person, which I don't even have to reply to because I've already won at that point.

Well I resorted to memes haha. I don't take trolls or fanboys too seriously these days, something I learned from the Motor Trend Forums. Fanboys there were far worse than practically any I've seen here.
I definitely own up to the fact that my car is slow though. A Civic Si competitor it is not.

I myself am a fan of the Dart. I am sad that the neon yellow was a limited colour, though. Bright hues just work so well with it!

I love Header Orange especially in Rallye or GT trim. Maximum Steel and Tungsten are nice too.

The online configurator never did justice to the Citrus Peel. It made it look dull when, in person, it's quite vivid.
They should bring in the Plum Crazy Purple to replace Citrus Peel.

Maybe I missed this earlier, why were you in the hospital (if you don't mind me asking)? Hope you're ok. You're definitely not allowed to be not ok.

You can barely even make out my True Blue in that picture. I would love to see Plum Crazy or Stinger Yellow.
