Sports cars with good visibility, at least good enough to park without leaning out the door/window:
Mazda RX-8
Nissan 370Z
Audi TT
Alfa Romeo Brera
Porsche Cayman
Any convertible sports car
Lambos and Ferraris are supercars, designed for people with more money than sense. Sports cars are usually taken to be about $20000-$60000, and usually have pretty good visibility all round.
Update: Looks like I need to issue a retraction - GP was spot on. Looked at the drive of a 'shut down' Win8 install, and lo and behold, there was hiberfil.sys.
Win 8 does NOT do a full shutdown or normal startup
Then why does my Win8 laptop tell me it's shutting down when I shut it down? Maybe because it's shutting down? Otherwise it would say it's hibernating.

I could go on.
And that's significant why?
I never believe those claims.
Posted this above already, but I legally own twice the DVDs I would otherwise because of torrenting.
Torrent users also spend more on legal content than non-torrent users;
Legal fees and settlements don't count.
If it wasn't for torrenting, my (100% legit purchased) DVD collection would be half its current size.
~$250 a year per network (example: BBC)
Use iPlayer, don't watch the live broadcast, et voila! BBC content for free, and 100% legit.
By a German company, with German money. Also, I didn't say there's no car industry in the UK, only that we fucked it up good an proper in the 70s.
Seriously, name one volume manufacturer in the UK that isn't foreign owned.
That's actually true, insofar as the Sun reflects no light whatsoever. I believe that measure is called the libido.
I don't know about you, but I support musicians by seeing them live at gigs i.e. seeing them earn their money.
Remember that when you hit someone who jumped a red light.
Never understood this. Why crush the car? Why not sell it? Change the locks if necessary, but it's not like the car is being punished here.
Symbolism. That, and the inability to get any value back from the car afterwards.
Possibly, though you may still have to close all the windows.

So are you going to bother posting links to back up your claims? Or should I just take your word for it as a self-elected God of Technology?
The new Mini? Made by BMW.
So, the same as apps that sit in the Notification Area then, except that they are eventually terminated.
The non-Metro client (almost) does that already - it makes a SkyDrive folder in your user folder.
Is it too hard for Microsoft to expose their own service as a filesystem?
The non-Metro SkyDrive client adds a SkyDrive folder to your user library. From there, it acts like any other folder.
SkyNet already exists. I know, because I work on it.
Seriously, I really do work on a project called SkyNet. It's not gone hunting for Sarah Connor yet, so I think we're safe for now.
£10 MS replaces the Metro name with 'Tiles'. It's as imaginative as calling the OS itself 'Windows'.
Only Windows Virtual PC. Win8 works OK in VirtualBox et al.

The Office division makes a tidy sum too, which should keep MS bobbing until Win9.
There is no "start button" to "hit" from what I saw
No problem for me - I can't remember the last time I actually clicked on the Start button. I just hit the keyboard key instead.
The fucking windows key ? I remove that key from all my keyboards so i wont get the start menu popping up during my gaming session!
Take a look at a gaming keyboard - a number of them have a switch that disables the Windows keys. I know my Logitech does.
