@Tiptoetherat: Nah, too overenthusiastic. May's the real prize among them.

@mkbruin: The Magnum, again. This car, as a wagon. I'd look into it.
@Shadowguitar: Yes, it did - the Neon was the second-to-last Mopar to use a three-speed (the wretched four-banger fourth-generation Caravan was the last, with the same 31TH/A413).
@Attilla the Hoon: I'm from New Hampshire, so I'm allowed to promote this.
@nobodyr: Yep. Can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or whether you're genuinely curious, but either way, use it.
@d3c509b aka Steve: Certainly, I picked the worst of the bunch to make a statement. I'd definitely have a C30 or V50 (or an S40, in a pinch) over most new cars, but Volvo's styling direction is trending toward ugly - the Toyota way of "ugly for the sake of ugly", not the Subaru (or 20th-century Volvo) way of "ugly for…
@Baby Beater Benz: My friend's had a couple of CB7 Accords (1990-'93) that had that "feature" (the ability to remove the key from the running car)... in that case, it's a feature and a bug.
@Novaload: I loved that "shock absorbers" were listed as part of that package - as though the standard car lacked them entirely. A lack of stabiliser bars I can theoretically see, but...
The supportive, yet beige, buckets seem suitable.
@calzonegolem: Definitely true. I shan't comment any further.
I'm not really feeling it.
@WilliamTheFifth: Tiny Lego LeMons Escort (Make:Way, #88) at 1:15; the real version in the background at 2:47 plays its part at 3:04.
@Baby Beater Benz: I can take my keys out with the car in drive, set the handbrake, put 'em in when I get back, pop it in neutral, start it, let go of the handbrake, and shift into drive without my foot on the brake. My gear position switch was flaky for a while - sometimes I'd have to slam it home into park before it…
@nobodyr: That's a pity - my idea has failed after all. Oh well, I suppose I'll just leave Adblock Plus enabled, and look for said men on my own time.
@Hopman: Indeed - I believe the third wheel was from a Sonett, but I don't remember for certain and don't have any newer photos of that side of the car.
@HeadTater: Mother Nature dropped a tree on one and got UDMan his LeMons car. (The Z31 in the background isn't the one that said Corvair made contact with, incidentally.)
@Mad_Science: I was going to say, yeah, it's a bit spin-happy... Somehow, though, I forgive it.
@architecturalize: Somehow, though, they got the HHR right - my mother's currently stuck with one as a rental. The door closes with quite a nice thud, though the dashboard is made from three shades of recycled eMachines front panels and you could hide the entire Venezuelan army in your blind spot.
@DeadBuick: Hey, that dog looks like a cat!
