The first car I owned was a Mazda GLC I bought for $100 in Calgary in 1997, from a grad student who was heading back to Mexico. Drove it around the city for a couple of years, then across Canada and all over Ontario for a summer. I left it with my mum when I went to study in Spain - she sold it for fifty bucks to a…

Unreasonably Priced Car, for a Star

Dese car will be verr populare at Québec, en hosti.

I grew up with one of these in South Africa. I can confirm that it sleeps two kids in the back comfortably, on the way back from the beach or at the drive-in. My parents actually picked it up at the factory in France in 1969 and had it shipped to the RSA.

Canada is on the hook to buy a bunch of these too, so our slimey Defense Minister, Peter McKay, will soon be along to explain - again - why these fighter jets are still just the best possible use of our tax dollars.

I thought Oliver Kahn was the German Chuck Norris

At least the stereo's still going strong.

Destroyer isn't a really band, it's a bearded crooner named Dan Bejar plus a rotating cast of friends and collaborators.

I think this is for the Saudi version of Top Gear: Sheikh in a Reasonably-Priced Car

Did it Screech before it went into the drink?

Damn boxes!

It's like Trad, but hoppier. Traditional Ale is better, IMHO

And, staying true to the video game it only makes 90 degree turns.

I *love* that faded red, but not so much the peeling, which I've seen on lots of GM cars but not specifically red ones.

She's clearly rolling her eyes in disbelief.
