@Scandinavian Flick: It'll be an option for stick-shift-equipped models.

@banzailibrarian: How'd you make that typo? The M is nowhere near the F, even on a Dvorak keyboard.

@Gavagirl: Just make sure it's an older one - I suspect you'll want a dipstick...

@ruthless013: A spot of negative camber, too.

If it wasn't trying to look like a Mustang (read: if they'd left the nose alone and mounted a set of rally lights), aside from a few minor details, that'd be a really neat car.

@dculberson: Precisely. There've been cases in England of people being convicted of carrying a Swiss Army knife in their glove box, but that's England. Here in the States, I have a crowbar in my trunk purely because it's useful.

@Speedycop: If it has "just a bit of rust" the same way that the Thunderbird has "just a bit of rust", you can presumably stand on the ground inside the boot.

@Jeremy Nimmo: Airbags are fine, provided their sensors are positioned and designed such that a <10 MPH impact or collision with something below the bumper won't cause them to go off. I doubt you'd be surprised by how often automakers get this wrong.

@Feketelaszlo: It appears to be an enormous lump of some sort of modelling clay.

Mitts: incredibly tacky. Wheels: fairly lame. Body kit without power to match: always tasteless. Colour: lovely; I'd definitely have this combination over anything with an inevitable chromed "blade".

@GreenN_Gold: My Volvo, with no blower motor anymore, has the opposite problem. I have to wear extra socks to keep my feet warm in the winter, but there's never any shortage of heat through the vents.

@gman1023: The Crosstour isn't a wagon, it's a bloody aborted foetus. The Outback, well, it's hideous, but I'll grant it "wagon" status.

@gman1023: They should drop the beltline four inches and make a Camry wagon. Shocking, I know, but who else sells an affordable wagon? VW, but that's a VW. That's it. The Matrix only counts for half credit, because it renders the xB redundant and you can't see out of it; the first-generation was a wagon, though.

Yep, it's always the posts I don't bother looking at that gather the great comments.

@gman1023: Precisely. Rav4 = Escape, CR-V, Equinox, Forester, Tucson/Sportage, Rogue. Highlander = Edge/new Explorer, Pilot, Traverse/Acadia, Tribeca, Santa Fe, Murano. 4Runner = current Explorer, Borrego, Xterra (though smaller)/Pathfinder (it's a useful but underrepresented segment). Land Cruiser = Expedition,…

@Buckus: I'd imagine any car, especially with a metal fuel tank (a small puncture emits more fuel as vapour than a large crack) would be vulnerable to catching fire if rear-ended at 100 MPH. That might be the point you're trying to make, I can't tell.

@Skelbagz: That is, uh, not impressive exactly, but... something.

@evoCS-Hench-Minion to the stars: I've pushed one... but not one quite that awesome.

@Piloter: "Vaporised Deer" - another bitchin' band name.

Well, this is silly. We already have a New Beetle, and it lives inside our house. (Though the house is Volvo-shaped.)
