I'm going to go with Ford Granada Coupe Mk1

@MrHowser: Yes, but it's doubtful that they would invent a story about how he was born outside of the US (started, of course, by a misprint in a high school newspaper's interview with his sister) or that he was a Muslim (Because nobody who's living in Indonesia would go to a Muslim school if they weren't Muslim,…

@Whitetrashsteve: The runner up for the most-time for me is a two-tone 78-79 Ford Bronco. Dad had two of them between the time I was 4 and 17. Both were two-tone. One was a 78 with round headlights with a 351M Auto. It was bright red and black. The other was a 79 with a 400/4 speed. It was Canyon red and white. …

The one car I spent the most time in was Grandma and Pap's 1984 Mercury Grand Marquis. I was about 6 when she traded in her 1978 Mercury Zephyr (with rust hole in the rear floor, no less - Pennsylvania's salted roads and Ford's late-70s build quality...) for her brand new Grand Marquis.

@Mikeado: I'd just like to remind you of the 1980s Omni-based FWD 85-96 hp 2.2L Chargers.

@snapoversteer drives a CORVOLTTE: and I'm definitely not recommending anyone look at the wreck the tape deck indie hipster music blog linked here: [www.wreckthetapedeck.com]

The most disturbing thing is the line in the graph that shows more fatal crashes than all crashes starting after 2002 or so

It's definitely the right car, and the right color but absolutely the wrong price. For $35k I could get two well-maintained E36 M3s. I could get a perfect-condition E39 M5 and have enough scratch left over for the next 5 years of maintenance or 2 years of gas...

@IFTNFS: I thought that was already part of the Directions and Connections package - and there was Luxury and Leisure which included a concierge service but that was phased out in 2008 due to lack of subscribers

First, Mr. Preuss, I'd like to state that I'm a former employee at one of the OnStar call centers and was on board for the launch of Stolen Vehicle Slowdown and Vehicle Diagnostics.

What unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show are you most excited about?

It looks like I can see where Panoz got at least some of the inspiration for the design of the Esperante

@Whitetrashsteve: Calls himself RobinHood

Veteran and Marine Sniper Rob Locke returns from Afghanistan to find his family mysteriously murdered and their farm up for foreclosure. He finds out that the local land developers are behind it and puts on a costume and goes on a revenge spree and redistributes the ill-gotten gains of the developers through local…

Proof that Bruce Wayne/Batman is a Jalop: The 2000 Legends of the Dark Knight Batmobile - It's a small, old hatchback with very French styling. Simca Bagheera, perhaps?

I nominate this car: It was a pivotal supporting character in a very good movie. The 1966 Charger from Big Fish

@fastmov4: just FYI, the swordfish car was a tuscan... But also an equally good suggestion.

These cops are definitely part of the minority that give all the men and women that are actually in the job to protect and serve a bad name.

@jdepould: It was a habit that I picked up while working for the company and it just stuck.

@markathome99: In GM cars, the mirror only houses the microphone and the buttons. The GPS antenna, phone transmitter, and backup battery and all other related equipment is installed elsewhere in the vehicle. I hope the aftermarket systems will not just be contained within the mirror.
