@Elhigh: Or 12chan. Or China.

@someoneelse2010: My grandmother had a V70XC as her final car - got to drive it once. Its size wasn't nearly so foreign by American standards. Hell, my daily driver's nearly four inches longer, with a marginally shorter wheelbase and nearly-identical height... though it is 2 inches narrower.
@Quattro-luvr: Vehicle, sir. Vehicle.
@Leeeeena the Jalopchick: I'd be happy to trade you for a weekend and help you set a new record...
@zyodei: Okay, so what's the rest of the story?
@bu11etman: Because I ask this of everyone who calls a car "gay": where does an aggressively-driven Volvo 244 (sedan) with loud exhaust and no cupholders worth mentioning fit in on your carefully-calibrated scale?
@Jim-Bob- Living in Project House Hell: Oh, those eight-lugs! I love the hell out of those, too - you're right, it's really a shame you can't use 'em over modern discs. Maybe there's a reproduction, somewhere...
@Jim-Bob- Living in Project House Hell: Centerlines? Yeah, I never have seen them on a car with discs... that makes sense.
@theart: Tucking back part of its length so as not to scare off the ladies.
@MushyHeirloom: And for reference, I drive a stock Volvo 240 with the rear, larger muffler removed and in the boot. It's not an unpleasant sound, honestly - tractor at idle, WWII fighter plane when revved - especially compared to, well, a poorly-modified Honda.
It sounds like the catalytic converter broke into tiny pieces and destroyed the muffler, at least to my ears.
@Elhigh: I happen to completely agree... provided the gymnasts are legal.
@Cheeseslap: The second-generation Neon suffers from the same problem as the fifth-generation ('01-'06) Camry - the ass-end of the car looks way too high, which is flat-out ridiculous on a rental car with cheap, improperly-centered (Camry) or wobbling (Neon) hubcaps. The Hayward look - jacked up in the back,…
@Serj Berelson: The 'shelf' works better on a Megane than it does on most people.
@Mekkon: Well, it looks like it's speeding even when it's standing still. That might be part of it.
Longest (200") and most wheelbasey (110.5"): driver's-ed 2003 Impala. Totally gutless, awful brakes, wallowed horribly.
Given that these days I wonder more and more why I bother keeping even half an eye on Facefuck, I'm with ya, And I only check mine once or twice a day from home.
@SerialThriller: If you prefer a stealthier method, Bosch will cheerfully and silently help you fail without warning or indication.
@RepoManChitown: I might actually have one of 'em.
@Royal Flush: I make only one exception to the small-dogs-are-useless rule - my friend's Pomeranian.
