I used to have a 1971 3.0 in metallic light blue - the BEST CAR EVER. Not only did it look great, but such a pleasure to drive…

I love the 2002 but if we’re going for finest looking automobile in the History of the Earth how about the 3.0 CS? One made a great appearance in Fracture with Anthony Hopkins… Beautiful, classic and preppy. I believe they’ve shown up in a Rugby shoot or two as well.

In that case, please report to the faculty lounge for a G and T session. Cheers!

Winston J. Quincy—Just quoting the cult hit satirical authority! LOL. Loving that my readers are so in point.

From page 204 of “The Official Preppy Handbook” in the section titled “Prepmobiles”: “...Originally a simple matter of reverse snobbery…Here is an expensive toy whose compact-car appearance is supposed to say, “not showy, just sensible”. ...this is a costly, high-performance car, it achieves a very desirable encoded flashiness.” F.E. Castleberry please report to the Deans office immediately.

Jetpacks—Yes, the 2002 is an expensive toy whose compact-car appearance is supposed to say, “not showy, just sensible.” Yet, it achieves a very desirable encoded flashiness since it’s common knowledge that this is a costly, high performance car. It’s a simple matter of reverse snobbery.
Whether or not it has anarchy cred makes no difference. Often we’ll drive any English car simply because it’s English…and that’s good enough.

There is no finer looking automobile in the History of Earth. There. I said it. But prep? This was the preferred vehicle of early-70s German domestic terrorists. It has anarchy cred.
