Test driving a car doesn’t really give you an idea about things you will not like about the car. Most of the time in the NY area dealers won’t even let you take it for a drive on the highway and even if they do it’ll be very short like one exit, which is not at all enough to get a good feel for it.

Its on the internet somewhere, plus in the scene where Steve Martin puts his wallet in the glove box you see a Dodge owners manual too I believe, extra trivia, this car was painted the same green as the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from Vacation. PT&A was a John Hughes movie, Vacation was written by John Hughes.

Everybody doin’ da mess around!

Now, now.. the LeBaron convertibles weren’t all THAT bad! At least the fake ones weren’t. The “LeBaron” in Planes, Trains & Automobiles was a modified Dodge 600 with the ES Turbo package, featuring a nice little 2.2L 142hp job. I guess it needed all that power to survive John Candy.

The radio still works, clear as a bell

If you have a fetish for sleeping with your hand between 2 pillows this is the perfect car.

All I can think about is Cake, “Short Skirt/Long Jacket”:

Street parked in Manhattan, you could rent it as a 2 bedroom apartment.

Just because YOU don’t like it doesn’t mean others don’t. Like I replied to another poster, different strokes for different folks. If we all liked the same shit the world would be a sucky boring place.

People who enjoy a certain baroque style aesthetic. People who need to transport 5-6 adults. People who enjoy the sensation of effortlessly doing triple-digits while floating on a comfy sofa. Old people.

Cars don’t care about two stroke mix fuel. They’ll just smoke a bit and its bad for the cat.

Okay... question: do the pumps in your area not have the price per gallon on them, or indicate the number of gallons pumped so far, and do you not know even roughly how many miles per gallon your vehicle gets?

Drive an FJ80 Land Cruiser. No tricks needed, terrible gas mileage comes naturally.

As long as the truck doesn’t recite any poetry, I’m still good with it.

I laughed at that harder than I should have.

Oh sure. When the dog climbs into an open cop car it’s cute and understandable. But when I do it I’m “going to jail for sure” and “a sick son-of-a-bitch and need to put my pants back on”.

Sacre pipe du crack.
