@Ash78, working for the rat race: I want to visit your mind, Ash.

@Maxis47: I nearly always have my mp3 player plugged into the aux jack on my aftermarket tape deck, and now I don't think I could live without a 3.5mm jack in my daily driver. My laptop, when the battery still held a slight charge, was often along for the ride as well, plugged into a cheap cigar-lighter inverter.…

@94LincolnVIII: I wouldn't base the Town Car on the Mustang - maybe a stretched, softened Oz-market Falcon, but a Mustang-based car would have to be an LS successor. It'd compete well against the CTS, but I'm not sure that's Lincoln's intended direction. However, I'm not sure even Lincoln knows what that direction…

@Kulprit442: I suspect the broad 18-25 demographic has quite a bit in common, especially in rural areas where one can get away with quite a bit.

@Maxis47: Yeah, it was that particular goddamn song, too. The Range Rover was nearly as amusing as the Jaguar. When he put it on, I'd just handed him my laptop and told him to go to town with Winamp, and play whatever he found that I'd indexed - apparently he popped in a burned CD. My hand darted right out and shut…

@Super Traction Engine: The bits about sitting on it (it's a Volvo), no cupholders (it's a Volvo), and riding in the boot (it's not an estate, and that's not safe unless you take it very easy and conditions are clear) aren't necessarily relevant, and the order isn't terribly coherent, but I reckon it's a good list.

@Bluesroo: My comments come pre-promoted, what with the star. It seems you haven't got one yet, but you have better grammar than half of our commenting body, and your comments seem to be of reasonable quality, so your odds are fairly good. Of course, most of it's luck.

Minty-fresh examples, many with more miles, seem to go for around this price. Given that the added benefit and added risk of a supercharger would seem to cancel each other out, this price might be a bit high, but it's well within the realm of reality.

Aye, a Dutch friend showed me this earlier. No one was hurt, that's the important thing, so this is undeniably awesome.

@superv: I'm fortunate that no one's ever tried that in my car. Part of the reason, I'm sure, is the not-so-deep dash; it also helps that the seats don't go back too far. I'm just lucky nobody's kicked the ignition/injection computers in the footwell.

Booze is out, for obvious reasons. I'm not taking the rap for someone else's idiocy. Same with marijuana, unless we're way out in the woods (once the windows are put down afterward, there's no evidence... no, I'm not a litterer).

@OOglebooze: I can forgive the MINI, because it's small, nimble, and cute, even if it's not as affordable as the original car. However, the Clubman bothers me slightly (though I understand it), and the Maxi-thing, that SUV... there's no excuse for that.

@94LincolnVIII: It's too late for Mark Anything - everything Lincoln now makes/rebadges, save for the Town Car and Navigator, starts with "MK" and ends with some letter. I can't keep any of them straight. Continental was already trashed by the Taurus-based version (which was okay, aside from eating transaxles) but…

@GeeHalen: So far, I can easily count all the genuinely amusing comments here on one hand, and this one's the best.

Well, rumour has it that there'll be a new Dakota, too - based on the Grand Caravan. (If they can manage to give it a regular or extended cab, rather than (or in addition to) a crew cab and a useless bed, and can give it a usefully-low liftover height for mulch and dirt bikes, it should sell. If they make another…

@Seppuku for Cocoa Puffs: If I could get it with a stick and (preferably) with AWD, I'd buy it before I'd consider any other "small" truck save perhaps the Tacoma.

@Papercutninja (now minus the N!): I think a 25+ MPG Focus-based truck - like a Transit Connect with 6" behind the front seats and an open bed - would be a much smarter idea than a smaller F-150. People who buy the current Ranger buy it over the Colorado, Tacoma, Frontier, and so forth for its compact dimensions,…

@TRAMS_AM: Indeed, everything that looks like rust is rust. Some of the trim - one and one half taillights, possibly the nose, the chrome accents on the doors - is in decent shape, but the shell is totally beat. It's a true LeMons car.

@accipiter: I actually like that idea quite a bit - you're not doing any damage, you're just setting the owner up to do it him/herself (though if it was a woman, it'd be diagonally parked across two spots, not nearly straight into four). I don't endorse keying or other vandalism, but helping them do it because they…

@aceofcakes: Oh, in a full lot, I will come within inches of a poorly-parked car if I can do so without my tyres being completely over the dividing line.
