I mean, they’re trying to be gang members. They’re not a group that’s known for being full of upstanding citizens.

My very concerned 74 y/o dad told me about this just two weeks ago. First time he had ever heard of it. I had to break it to him that it’s an old wives’ tale from 20 years ago.

I get that. I order vehicles for my dealership and I see what people want. It’s just sad that most buyers don’t have any imagination.

You know what’s sad with these pictures? It’s literally a sea of black, white and silver trucks, with just a dash or two of red. Nothing else. 

I just have one question, and I’m not sure who I want to answer it more, the ultimate buyers or the designer who put this monstrosity together: Who hurt you?

I wonder if you could retrofit that phone to work somehow (redo the guts with a cheap flip phone donor; make it Bluetooth capable) and drive around using it?

I know people dog on the PT Cruisers, but every person I know that has owned one over the years said it was one of the best, most reliable cars they’ve ever owned. They were ubiquitous in my mom’s neighborhood of retirees and they all raved about them. 

Usually the correct answer to any automotive question. 

NP.

When your only other option is a CVT, it does. Plus it’s always fun to ring out a little car like these. 

The newest Versa seems to be getting better reviews. I haven’t driven a Nissan in years, but it looks decent for the price. I’m also more focused on the fact it’s got three pedals and it can be bought new. 

You have to go cheaper. Versa S.

The CarFax reports do show the majority of them came through auction purchases. Although, a handful of them came through a used dealer called BH Motorcars in NJ. Maybe they’re moving cars between them to keep money moving? Who knows. Take that information however you’d like.

I had a 98 Grand Am with the V6 from 2002 to 2005. It was the biggest piece of crap with only 27k miles on it. At 63k, my extended warranty paid for itself almost twice over from repairs. 

Did you purposely cut down the tree or.......

If my mom couldn’t kill a car, you knew it would survive with the cockroaches and Twinkies after a nuclear apocalypse.

I don’t see many Corvettes at the local country clubs. It’s usually a Merc/BMW convertibles for the boomers and Escalades/Navigators/X7s for those with kids.

Live in the Rust Belt for a few years with that thin Japanese metal. You’ll see what we mean. 

Wouldn’t it be a Bud Light or Coors Original though? A Manhattan seems too sophisticated for a Corvette owner.

Took about 9 actually. It was still running around earlier this year until it “caught fire” according to the CarFax report I pulled.
