Weighing in at 11 words (and a comma!), I realize this sounds like a Camus quote or a Fall Out Boy song or something, but the Growing Old and Dying Happy is a Hope, Not an Inevitability, but comes to us from a couple bartenders in New Orleans, Maksym Pazuniak and Kirk Estopinal, in 2009. I say all that to say this-if you see a cocktail called “Growing Old and Dying Happy is a Hope, Not an Inevitability,” what are you expecting from that drink? And just to give you a peek at the last page, I’ll go ahead and tell you that what you’re imagining is pretty much exactly what the cocktail is like. Conversely, if you have a bright-pink Martini on your menu and you call it “The John Wayne,” one could only assume you’re doing it specifically to piss people off.

The only other nit to pick is the lack of rear picnic-table infotainment screens due to seat angle-but then, this zero-emissions machine is unquestionably for drivers and likely to be but one among an owner’s stable. Activated by a button on the stalk, it allows for one-pedal piloting and adds confidence on twisting descents but feels overly aggressive elsewhere, with no means for adjusting intensity save for switching it off. In fact, a spirited press of the throttle brings the Spectre to life, the immediate torque delivery one of the few cues that two electric motors are hard at work, silently launching the behemoth from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed (limited) of 155 mph.
