Your suspect reading skills once again.

The title says gravitas not dignitas.
Gravitas = seriousness
Dignitas = Dignity

It's meant as a joke because gravitas is associated with colors like black and gray. And this car is the opposite of gravitas it's meant to be dynamic and fun. It's OPs way of saying his car stands out and he loves it.

Listen, your criticisms are tiring. Like I told you before-you are just not that important. Constructive criticism of others is just fine. Coupled with a nasty "shot" is just inappropriate. Should you choose to do so towards me again, please do it via PM. Remember, it was you who previously commented "taking things personally"? Very hard to interpret your comment above otherwise, but if I am incorrect, then please correct me. I learned a long time ago that it is impossible to interpret the thoughts of others with any accuracy in a majority of circumstances.

Thanks for the clarification. You can see the confusion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitas

My apologies to the OP for this having to be brought into this thread. My comment was made with no intention of criticism. Your car is fabulous.

I just bashed all M5's today at the M4 forum, I made a comment about them being boats and all, and then the owner of this car found me drooling on his baby on a parking lot. My ego will not take this hit nicely.

Thanks for not dripping on the pools of drool, that would have been a solid case that would have financed your future beauties.
