I think anywhere but a concrete bunker would be a pretty bad place to be in a shootout.

Nuclear power! Bwahhahahaaaaaa *lightning crashes in the background*

The tolls along I95 between Virginia and Maine are ridiculous, even if you're in a regular car. Had I known I was going to spend around $100 in tolls, I would have flown...

Just hand the keys to any teenage male. You'll get the full gamut of testing parameters from acceleration and braking to durability and "back seat comfort for multiple fully grown people." Bonus points for being able cheaply discern how easy various types of stains are to remove from the upholstery.

true. Even the ones still on the road are held together by duct tape and bubble gum

The city of Detroit. Abandoned cars, abandoned homes. You never know what treasures lay around the next corner!

granted the comment doesn't make sense here on Kotaku, but it was published on Jalopnik (where I originally posted the comment) with the title: "Behold a fleet of cars owned by video game nerds"

unless these are all characters from japanese games I've never played : Anime ≠ video games

Just be sure to know exactly what car you're bidding on. In a big crowd with multiple cars in front of you and an auctioneer who mumbles as fast as the guy from the MicroMachines commercials, you may end up owning a beat to hell Volvo instead of the nice CRX you thought you were bidding on.

how much you wanna bet the vanity plate is gonna say "First" or "oldest"

Sonny's Drive Through BBQ. Nothing says "awesome" quite like snarfing down a messy rack of ribs while driving down the highway.

Rednecks who show up at import events with their IROC-Z's, yell about how imports suck and "there's no replacement for displacement," proceed to do a bunch of burnouts, and then run away thinking their awesome.

Come to think of it. Every Camry of mid 90's vintage I've ever seen has a dent on the passenger side rear fender.

and have a wobbly car that's 3wheel drive?

well... at least it should take corners better than a Reliant Robin.

Because the ballot box is rigged against my generation, please see the Florida recount fiasco in the Bush vs Gore election for example. The people who could potentially make a real difference either don't bother running, or never make it on the ballot. And the few people who do vote, vote along party lines or don't…

but do they send you a new one if you renew your policy?

so the car is only fast if some chick with a migraine pops some pills then pushes a button in a control booth somewhere? The moral of the story? do drugs and be a winner, apparently

Old minivans and Buicks, usually with faded paint. In my experience it's usually some combination of these that pace each other on the road, do 15 under the posted speed limit, and just clog up the flow of traffic. They also seem to have a knack for doing this when you're running late for an appointment.
