WalterRego -> Another car review by Dan Neil (5/7/2008 7:25:18 PM)
Once again, I wonder how Dan Neil gets away with some of this stuff in his auto reviews: "I've always had an affinity for the Continent. Between New Orleans and Amsterdam, I prefer Amsterdam. I'll take Rousseau over Jefferson, Beck's over Budweiser, Formula One over NASCAR, and Heidi Klum over my knee." "Both these cars combine a deep sense of composure and rail-to-rail confidence with that ineffable quotient of fun, the liveliness of a carbon-fiber fly rod or a well-oiled riding crop (see Heidi Klum, above)." http://www.latimes.com/classified/automotive/highway1/la-hy-neil7-2008may07,0,7606964.story?track=rss

It's simple how he gets away with it. After you win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism the editors tend to leave you alone. Expecially when the award includes the phrase: "... "blending technical expertise with offbeat humor and astute cultural observations." Although what's particularly astute about wanting Heidi Klum over your knee, is not obvious to me at all. It seems self evident why that would be desirable. Outlier
