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.

I Have $40,000 To Treat Myself To A Real Sports Sedan! What Car Should I Buy?
Donnie just turned 30 and is an amateur racer. He’s frustrated with the constant glitches in his Ford Fusion that never seemed to be quite right after an accident. Now he’s got $40,000 and wants to upgrade to something bigger with a lot more power. What car should he buy?...

For $7,000, Could This Cummins-Powered "1968" Chevy Panel Van Be Your Mystery Machine?
Today’s Chevy Van is mysteriously badged as a GMC Handi-Van. That’s okay because it rocks Scooby and the gang on the side and they’ll get to the bottom of this. We’ll still have to see if its price is top form. To boldly go where no one has gone before…...

Why A Used BMW 135i Is The Best Bimmer You Can Get Under $30,000
I never cared much for the old BMW 1 Series. It has almost a depressed look to it, like it’s upset because it knows it looks like BMW haphazardly shrunk a 3 Series in Photoshop, and that it was destined to be overlooked on dealer lots by yuppies dead-set...

For $6,400, Could You Rally Around This 1974 Chevy Vega?
General Motors used to stand Vegas on their noses to transport them by train from the factory to the dealers. Today’s Rally model sits properly, but will you still find its price to be on the nose? If you see my van a-rockin, don’t come a-knockin, or so the story...

For $400, Could This 1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette Project Be Worth The Trek?
Today’s Olds represents a model once made famous in the movie Get Shorty. This one’s painted more for Star Trek, however transmission troubles mean it’s not ready for a staring role yet. Maybe its price will prove the big break it needs. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Or...
