My first manual, an 87 Mercury Topaz GS (short for “goes slow”), was a replacement for an 86 Chevy Celebrity coupe that got totaled in a head on collision with a dumbass who tried to turn left in front of me. Got to spend my first and thus far only night in the hospital with a nifty concussion on that wreck.

I particularly enjoyed him in those wonderful golf movies:

“I’m sorry, what was it about, “No thanks,” that did you not understand? Was I too polite? We can change that if you’d like, or I could go somewhere else.”

“People of Praise are quite controversial within Catholicism. Founded in 1971, the group incorporates elements of fundamentalist Pentecostal Protestantism (such as speaking in tongues) and is considered a cult in mainstream Catholicism.

NEUTRAL: I have a lease that’s expiring in October. Am considering ending it early to take advantage of the price drops, but hell if I’m going out to test drive anything right now.
