Wow. Does anyone know if this applies to the discount program that GM has for employess of suppliers? I need to know whether to start selling all of my worldly possessions.
The Crown friggin' Victoria. How much gas to NYC (and other) cab drivers waste idling their big 4.6L V8s around. Turbo diesel 4's in those cars would save a ton of dino juice. Plus, with less accelleration, it might be less scary to ride with them.
But if there's no DTS, what will they make hearses out of? I don't want my final ride to be in the back of a gussied up Dodge Sprinter.
While the name was fine at the time it was used, "Cougar" now conjures up the idea of something other than a personal luxury coupe.
My, this escalated quickly. Everyone calling anyone an idiot, dittohead, or snarkily calling Obama "Hussein" go apologize to each other or spend 5 minutes in timeout.
Another thought...there's an old 80's PC game called AutoDuel that I've always associated with Death Race. Since even in a fast, light car you might find yourself pinned down, the best strategy in AutoDuel seems to be to use the heaviest platform that will hold the most weapons: the van. You suffer a bit in…
My problem with the GNX, T5R, or any turbocharged vehicle is that when you're in a race to the death in a post apocalyptic future you might not always have time for proper vehicle maintenance. And when a seized turbo bearing from not changing your oil frequently enough means you get riddled with .50 cal. rounds,…
I can't wait to see the cheesy fiberglass kit car version with terrible orange peel, vinyl seats, a turbo hydramatic, a carbed small block, and Mustang II supsension at next year's Concours D'Ignorance.
@squablow:
The Accord may be just as suspicious as the PT Cruiser and the Miata. I've never seen one of those with four wheels and an engine go for less than three grand.
Well, in Newsweek's defense, "Bob Novak Has Had Better Weeks" is still true. Even more so, in fact.
@pryndyl:
Also abominable: strapping 1940's-style front and rear clips to a 1990's T-bird and leaving everything else the same.
Personally, the Fiero-based Fino springs to mind. But there's just so much horrible crap out there that I doubt it will even make the ten worst when all is said and done.
