I think you may be looking for the term wording rather than working

You need a Delorean to say the Leaf is better than the Tesla?

Shoot, I’m changing the power steering pump in my Thunderbird

Going to have to say the Chevy Tracker. I think it was because it was already thoroughly abused before I got it, but that car was a POS that fulfilled the adage I have often heard about turn of the century GM products: it ran bad longer than most cars run.

I saw one in person, in ordinary traffic, in my home town.

You should care for it, as I have no doubt that you would want someone else to care for your ride. I have only not taken Care of 2 cars, both of which did not deserve it and had been beat to hell but he previous owner.

Have you considered a 4 door Nova with an I6 and a manual? I see them somewhat frequently on Craigslist, and I bet that they would have some decent mileage.

I have owned about 6 cars over the course of the 2 years I have been driving, and disagree... My minivan sucked. We named it BUSF (Big Ugly Slow ......) for a good reason. My Tracker sucked too, it was the Featherbrick for good reason too (spins like a feather, flys like a brick). My 4Runner was good because it is…

The Buick LaCrosse, 1st Year, looks a lot like Jumba from LILO and Sticthc

Didn’t even read, just automatically hit CP. No Camarillo of this generation deserves to have its misery extended beyond the short drive to the scrap heap

Me and my friends took my 1966 Ford Thunderbird to Michigan from Florida. Bad idea, as this was a real hooptie. Ended up replacing head gaskets and a clogged radiator in the O’Rielly parking lot, just north of Ann Arbor, using zip ties, a Jeep radiator, and adaptors made from small hoses fit into larger ones. Been…

Tempted to say Datsun from the tail lights

Oh dear God I cannot unsee it. Can someone pore some bleach in my eyes?

Soon as I saw the car, I went CP. There is NOOOOOOO NP where these are involved

Forgetting the racecar aspect. If you remember that, its AMC cousins are the answer, especially one of the Ramblers.

Go the not-quite-so obvious route here and pick something that will always attract attention: a Studebaker or an AMC. I even found some near you.

Is there any chance he could excercise a pocket veto?

Definitely the 1966 Thunderbird me and some buddies just drove across the country. Full of issues, but nothing like that car

I would say any egg crate grille G Body from GM.

This right here. This needs to be the comment of the day
