@cgarison: At least Jesus would know how to park it, unlike most of the owners I see around.

@Eggwich McSpencer: Shit, man. What a beautiful car. This narrative's right up there for quality.

@Brandon Postale: You've pushed your Ford and bought into GM!

@LandofMinos, believes in dog.: 15 C isn't remotely cold - it's perfect. But then, anything over 30 C is slightly uncomfortable to me, and over 35 would turn me homicidal if I wasn't too lethargic in such heat. However, I'm fine in a T-shirt, even barefoot, down to zero. Tasmania actually sounds quite nice.

@LandofMinos, believes in dog.: Seriously, outside of the heat, poisonous things, oft-ridiculous road laws, and government that believes that the internet is a tool of Satan, Australia sounds quite nice. Not my sort of climate, though.

So far, they got this hatchback.

@LandofMinos, believes in dog.: And if I was a pom who wasn't allowed to carry a Swiss Army knife in my glove compartment, I'd drive a Range Rover.

@Skink: Everything went better than expected!

@Porscheisthebest: Oh, damn. That might be one of the more horrible possibilities. Was it due to rust?

Hey! MacLeod! Get off of my ewe!

@brianesser76: My first thought was actually "he's really cute"...

@danio3834: Trunks are good for hiding things, but not for carrying bulky items. Hatches are good for carrying bulky items, but only good for hiding things if you have a cargo cover. I think every sedan/saloon car should have a Skoda Twindoor, or at least a Mondeo-style trunk that incorporates the rear window - sedan…

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Fortunately, I too got this advice secondhand.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: No.

This.

@Paul Y. requires regruntling: You say that, but the 240 was designed for Swedes, and yet my knees can't handle long trips that well.

@Pessimippopotamus: I love this so much.

@38thsignal: Hmm, true enough. You don't want to waste too much time/energy on these clowns, after all. Business cards would seem about right.

@Ben Wojdyla: Well, that's reassuring to know. Means that one of these (or just a regular example), pre-owned, won't be such a crazy idea.

@38thsignal: Pick the bike up by the front fork and point it in a different direction, if it's a fairly lightweight machine. Otherwise, just let the air out of one or both tyres.
