Convo with my uncle the other day:

Uncle: "...my brother had this really crappy Chevy a few years ago."

Motor Week said the Olds Aurora had a "futuristic" shape. But now that we're in that future, it just looks dated...

For that kinda money, you may as well buy a real 'vintage' car/truck and use that as a rolling billboard. A local real estate agent I know bought a restored 1936 Ford truck and had it converted to run on electric power (probably cost more than 10k, but...)

So a racing car is a bad summer road trip tourer? Erm, good to know.

Hate them as the obvious BBS knockoffs they are, but they're *good* knockoffs, and hardly qualify for "ugliest wheels". Quite the opposite, the classic BBS wire rim would be a candidate for a "best looking wheels" article.

I know this isn't saying much but...

The Saab, easily. That's one of the few factory body-kits that actually improve the looks of the car. Besides, the 900 is classy and understated - despite its Aero body kit - whereas the big Merc with its gold BBS rims may as well have a licence plate that says DRG*DLR

'The 90-year old World War II veteran is doing well, and was rather philosophical about the whole incident: "I can't complain. When something like this happens, it happens."'

Volvo for sure.One almost killed me and a buddy when I was newly licensed at 18 driving the family hand-me-down, a 1986 Buick Century Estate (with fake wood trim!)
