I'm not going to say it for fear of the wrath of Mjolnir, the mighty tartan-wrapped banhammer.

If it says '3', that registers in your brain the command to 'pull it down' for the next gear.

Hmmm, it's a Volkswagen so there's no hope of a Brabus Barbus.

Fake ventiports are an epidemic. They're on EVERYTHING.

I'm in the minority that in person (and with the shadowline trim and optional BMW Motorsport wheels cribbed from the BTCC 320si), it's a fiendishly handsome car and looks the business.

So this fits in the LeMons guidelines for size?

@CharlzR: When I was in college in Indiana, there were so many 60's Mustangs rolling around town you would've thought Ford still had them in production.

@theeastbaykid: One...two...THREE BATs flying around! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Also, I'd stab multiple people for that other Alfa that's rockin' this photo.

@TheTooth: Agreed. That was graverobber good. This is funny too, though I had to read 2 or 3 times to fully understand it.

@buckymarino: It probably is. Why'd you piss it off?

@Mad_Science: "Well there's yer problem. You have a thank you card cloggin' yer intake manifold."

Oh goodie, my LeMons racer needed a donor engine.

I'm convinced that Mazda made the RX-8 a lot smarter than I am, so I trust its arsenal of DSC, LSD, ABS, and EBD. The car still lets me get away with a lot, but I'm not good enough to tell exactly how hard it's working to keep me from killing myself.

@rognbrow: I'm supporting the far-out theory that Sarah Palin is a commenter in disguise for this site. I mean c'mon, she named her 17 year old daughter after a NASCAR track! Personally I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of lil' Talladega in 4 months or so.

@ausgoat73: Easy. No truck nutz in the wreck.

Did I forget to mention that Chicagoland was GM's biggest market for Monte Carlos?

@Grive: Did she get the Corinthian leather?

These were always nice cars and I washed plenty of them (some beater ones too) at the Mercedes dealership I used to work for. The SL was essentially the only model they made that I thought was pretty good. Outside of the AMG offerings, that is.

I had several Jeep boomboxes that were single-handedly the worst products I've ever owned. Terrible sound, terrible reliability. Not unlike my Jeep Wrangler, so does that make it good?
