I have nothing against the Cleveland Browns, that I know of. I often forget they exist, and one of my esteemed Deadspin colleagues even says the team is “a hot pick to be good this year.” (He doesn’t totally buy it, though, because they’re the Browns. In my very limited football knowledge, in which I always have to clarify what a “touchback” is again, I would have to agree.)

But I’ll tell you what I am against: an orange Kia Stinger GTS,once lovely and a sign of everything good in the world, that’s been turned into a Brownsmobile with some brown and white stripes and is now for sale at an Ohio dealership called Mentor Kia. The dealer never specifically says in the that it’s meant to be a Browns theme, but local outlet does, and it’s pretty easy to see.

The 2019 Kia Stinger GTS, without brown stripes.

The Stinger is a good car, despite its —it’s a new sport sedan in a world where sedans , and Kia even gave the GTS trim, which is on this car, . Before the Stinger, the only time you might have seen most folks use “Kia” and “drift” in the same sentence was if some other car was drifting around a stationary Kia. The Stinger is a good thing, especially in that regard.

Kia then made the Stinger even cooler by coating its GTS trim in a lovely shade of orange, which we, , do not deserve but were lucky to be given.

Then, we, the undeserving human race we are, go and do this to that beautiful, untainted orange:

A vehicle that once looked fierce and cool and ready to drift circles around the masses now looks like a clownfish, because football.

We don’t deserve nice things.

The Two Coolest Features In The 2022 Genesis GV70 Involve The Seats
It’s not often a feature in a car makes me actual squeal in delight and run to show everyone with eyes. But the 2022 Genesis GV70's posture control and massage features did exactly that. As most people do, I’ve forgotten some of the more minor lessons from my driver’s...

At $20,000, Is This Two-Pedal 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera An Automatic Good Deal?
Are you the type of person who thinks an automatic transmission-equipped sports car like today’s 911 is a contradiction in terms? If not (and you shouldn’t be) then let’s take a look beyond this Porsche’s paltry pedal count. There’s a song in The Sound of Music. Come to think...
