I dunno - my Volvo, from 21 years ago, has never had a problem stopping for pedestrians. Good brakes and an attentive driver beat a computer when it comes to unpredictable living things.

@imiss2xwishbones: That direction would be appropriate for a VW van, but not so much an A100.

@TexanIdiot25 - can't heel-toe downshift with big feet: I've been in a Punto - an ordinarily family car, not a minicab - and I assure you that the hard plastic interior reminded me a great deal of base-model Chryslers (in particular the current-generation base Town and Country I spent a fair deal of time in as a…

Nice Price if the headlights work. If it gets painted, hopefully it'll be green.

@songs: It was over your head.

@my favorite car is a motorcycle: A 21st-century Jetta with a beam axle and 8v 2.0 seems awfully 'poserish' to me, still.

@scotttharobot: Definitely the former, here - I've had my Volvo 240 on two wheels before.

@Slave2anMG: When my mother got hers (2001 Vortex Blue, 1.8T/5spd) in 2003, the dealer had a yellow CC they couldn't sell... they weren't asking much more for it, but the yellow was too much for her. I'm not sure I'd opt for it, either (my aesthetic preference is for the Satellite Blue; shame they saddled it with the…

Fuckin' A! I found that post a few minutes ago, read your comment, laughed my arse off, and said "Is he Commenter of the Day? He oughta be!".

Hey, my new car's from the '90s... the mild recession during George H. W. Bush's presidency, that is. (Actually, hell, both of them are from his term.)

@scotttharobot: Sounds like New Hampshire! Everyone lets everyone else go. We (usually) know to move to the right, though, and use our signals (unlike many of our brethren from Massachusetts, or anyone from New Jersey). We tailgate, though; nobody's perfect.

"She had ordered a red Audi, but got a yellow one with VW hubcaps."

I went for a walk with a friend of mine last night. He likes cars, but doesn't know them (on sight) as well as I do. Jeep Cherokees are easy, as are Ford Explorers, Subaru Outbacks and such, and he knows the badges. (Keep in mind that he's also presently homeless, and therefore doesn't have much to occupy his time; I…

@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: I've referred to my 244 as 'a bit Soviet' before - the faded paint and missing front airdam help my argument a great deal.

South bend on what?

@driven to reading all of Paul Jones Comments: If my eyes don't deceive me, there's somethin' goin' wrong around here.

@ursa: I'd settle for "the top 15", really.

@anthromt: Oh, man. Well, I was on the fence before, but it's Crack Pipe now.

@RacinG73 - getting an early start to the off-season: Tits on glass, gentlemen. Tits on glass.

@62imperialcrown: Yes! If you won't, I will... Leave the woodgrain, paint the cream over with a nice green. Mmm.
