I had planned to suggest Elio Motors as the biggest automotive flop, but I put off introducing anything until it was too late.

My family had a Rambler Marlin, though we never had an Edsel. I honestly don’t know if that supports your theory or totally opposes it. 

last time I was used car shopping one of these popped up in my search. I researched it a bit and found that ZDX stands for “Zero Demand Expected”.  I decided against it because I didn’t want to spend my time explaining it to people.

Thanks for this stinging honesty. I’ve had a lot of the same feelings around people not anywhere near the high rollers you were with, but with time comes balance. I never felt comfort around people I grew up with because I had less. Less money and less opportunity. I remember something coming to me as I went to my…

Forgot my 1990 Econoline camper van.  “Thunderbucket”

I think the only car I’ve ever named was my first, a ‘73 VW Type 3 fastback. It didn’t move very fast, but was a nice place to sit so I called it “my chair”.

I had the same requirements and ended up with one of these. Too small to crash in the back, and I was told I’d have to rearrange the exhaust to install a hitch for my bike rack (factory cross bars are ridiculously close together, rendering them nearly useless) . That and the fact my neighbor’s Ram 1500 gets EXACTLY…

“I Like the design”

I saw these guys at the spring festival at Copper Mountain a few years back. During their warmup some little kids started dancing, so they played a song for them.  They told the adults to come back later for the show, this song was just for the kids.  Nobody can say anything bad about this band around me after that.

My car? It’s gotta be “Money for Nothing”

My punk band was called “Sticky Clutch”

My nickname in college was “Labia Spoiler”

I’ve driven a Prius and it felt like a Ferrari compared to our old 2010 Honda Insight.  I’ve never before or since had to redline a car to get up my driveway.

You know, I’m sure it would not be wise to do away with ABS, but there are situations when driving behind some asshole that makes a left from the center lane or something where locked up tires are FAR more effective than a horn.

I watched the same scenario where the guy in the truck held up six cars whilst doing his 30-point turn to back out of a spot.

I loved the aggressive marketing of naming something electrical “Sparkomatic”

I learned a great lesson when I spent all my money upgrading my stereo, only to find out that it sounded exactly the same as the old one because I didn’t have the money to upgrade the speakers

We accidentally rented an Aveo once, because my master plan of renting the cheapest car available and banking on an upgrade fell apart. Our suitcase did not fit in the back, so it rode in the back seat next to our toddler, threatening to crush her with every left turn.  Despite calling it “Avoido” we eventually grew a…

You felt like a schmuck for spending two grand LESS for a tent? Where you have to climb a ladder to pee at night? No thanks, I’ll happily sleep in the dirt.

My thought as well.  Who wants to make payments on a vehicle you just drove off a cliff?
