Thou shalt not leave a bunch of crap in my vehicle. Just because your car is a rolling trash can, doesn't mean I do not have the right to keep my car clean. Yes, honey, I'm talking to you.

People's needs change. Toyota should make a Prius minivan - soccer moms everywhere would love them forever.

We always called it liquid Valium.

OK, the basic home bar for those on a budget:

People, the door edge guards were on the house. The $1495 was "adjusted market value." I'm surprised they didn't just abbreviate it to "AMV." Anyhoo, if you pay it, you're an idiot. Nobody needs a particular model car enough to pay more than MSRP. Wait until August, and they'll be begging you to come in and buy…

And they seat about 20.

I always wanted one of those to drive to work. Actually, those were multifuel motors that could burn just about any flammable liquid (as long as you had enough of it).

Terra libera, domum fortis. The land of the free and the home of the brave. It sound so much cooler in Latin.

They're just too fucking expensive. Period. They're probably decent cars, especially for short trips, but not too many people are willing to shell out forty large for one, federal tax break or no.

I have the previous generation Civic, and I love it! It's about the same size inside as the Accord I used to drive, but the Accord got 26 MPG overall, and the Civic gets around 31. Its lighter, thanks to its really short front end, a bit quicker, and considerably more nimble. And yet, it feels like a midsize sedan.…

Must be time for a new Stig in the land of the morning calm.

True. It isn't the size that counts, it's what you do with it.

It's called NutriSystem. Join it.

I hate it too, and I would hate the 10-team version worse. For one thing, you have division "champions" who barely play .500 ball (like the "world champion" 2006 Cardinals) in the freaking playoffs. WHY, Mr. Selig, WHY?

Wow, a weird-denominated bill with a current President on it, and they're not mocking the guy. That's gotta be a first. Must have been passed out by the campaign.

That's red. The color is off a bit. I once had a Mitsubishi Mighty Max the same color. It was quite attractive, actually.

How many Corollas has Toyota sold? Lots, right?

That might have worked 20 years ago, but not anymore. Even my wife's non-powered door locks are integrated into the opening lever. It took three guys from Southie to get us back inside after I inadvertently left the keys in the ignition once.

I can't believe this is still available.

Of course, if you're in Utica, it's a bit of a schlepp to come back down to the City just to snap a photograph (a properly prepared Boy Scout would have a camera in the glove box for just such an emergency). And I guess if you live there, you either don't drive, or you speak whatever language those signs are written…
