Ha! I remember in college I had an accounting teacher that I told that I liked old cars, and he recounted (heh, pun not intended) how he bought a 1971 new yorker and rattled off a bunch of reasons why it was a POS. Everything from dead A/C, to failing brakes (no wonder from looking at that brake test in the video), to…

@Rusty Van Horn: Ughh, I hate home made Landau roofs on Towncars.

I grew up in the back of a 1990 Plymouth voyager. Had some great times in that van, from summer road trips to see family, to learning to drive in a beach parking lot, to plowing it though a gate when driving it home when my dad accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake he was aiming for because he though I was…

@Jebro: Ha, and I love how the "mother?" is holding an "On the Run" cup as well.

Sorry to all coupe/sedan people, but just about any van trumps them all! Just about all of them has fold away rear seats and even removable middle seats.

@onyxorca: Indeed, just about any of those panther platform cars are good. I'll be surprised if one doesn't make it into the finals.

@imueller: yup, and there's exactly 20.5 cubic feet in that trunk, don't ask me how I know . . .
