@Nürburgring: I'm tempted to say "better the shoulder than the yellow line" - I have a tendency to stick to the inside of turns, and if someone's going wide in the other direction when I'm on a sharp left, it occasionally gets a bit close.

@Jim-Bob- Living in Project House Hell: Also notable here is the Jeep Curse - any company that owns Jeep eventually goes under, and only Jeep remains as a worthwhile brand and product line.

@powermatic: I think they meant it in the context of "ridin' the trails", still usually something done on a bicycle, dirt bike, ATV, or similar doorless, roofless, lightweight, saddled recreational vehicle that can fit in an average pickup bed. Or, well, an equine companion... which is also not a Jeep.

@mikeettner: I remember that one. More specifically, I remember glancing at that one, shaking my head, and remembering the Compass.

@MushyHeirloom: Oh, and the odds are better-than-average that this particular DB9 was a rather loud shade of yellow.

@Formerlythegreatestdriver: Sure look Scottish to me!

Bullshit. No one in Aberdeen can afford a DB9.

@Nürburgring: Fine... so no Renault Caravelle for you?

@Van-Graham: If they were much taller, they might just Toppola right over, like dominoes!

Seems as though he preferred this view to "some arse with 'er cunt out"...

@BigHarv: You can watch it in person, all right. Sit on a hill with a case of beer and watch the cars go by.

@muhnkee_2 - Avantime Owner and 100% Jaloper: A New Zealander man, with a permanent tan, that's a Maori...

@Nürburgring: Provided you keep the electrical problems at bay (easiest with roughly an '88- 240) it'll treat you well. My '89 went through a period of draining its battery if it was left for more than a day or two; I removed all the fuses in the process of checking for drain, and having reinstalled them, the drain is…

@Lotte: Oh no. No, it's very right.

@Ash78, Keyser Soze: And likewise. The only comprehensible words I managed to speak were "Oh, God in heaven" before I totally cracked up.

@Boxer_4: Those were C22 Nissan Vanettes - wrote a limerick about 'em once.

@Nürburgring: I'd totally commute to work in it from April to November.

From a Consumer Reports standard, a Volvo 244 with sort-of power steering, crank windows, leisurely acceleration, half the exhaust intentionally removed, surface rust ground off and repainted with a contrasting colour, and malfunctioning dome light, glove-box light, trunk light, reverse lights, power locks, head unit,…

@Nürburgring: The most valuable car I've driven was a 2000 Volvo Cross Country... on one hand, I envy you, but on the other hand, once you drive something awful, it'll seem more awful.

@AlienProbe: It's not the rear-drive, it's the Cressida - my Volvo 240, at stock height and sporting snow tires, gets along well enough.
