Not with Volts, he wouldn't.

I'd take myself a nice Dodge M880 CUCV.
Its just as practical as any other fullsize pickup, but instantly more badass, and its got to be at least as unbreakable as the civilian version (as in nearly entirely).

Or sidekick (escudo)

I think they wanted to go for a joyride. This sounds like a Wiley Coyote situation.

Does this count?

Cash for clunkers.

Yeah. Let's just destroy the used auto market, crush 1,000s of effing amazing cars in the process, and help everybody buy nissan versas and kia souls.

Twas a glorious day in fantasyville.

If you've ever said "My Dodge Journey is so fun to drive!"

(Or insert sienna, crv, caravan, freestar, explorer, trailblazer, or any other generic fat vehicle)

Ever get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside? Even with the damage, this story has my fuzzy-kitty-o-meter on eleven.

Now, internet . . . the perps.

I think Torch said he had an aftermarket muffler with only one tip.

COTD??

Its not like it was a bad car, but they put the engine in the wrong end!

I think the sloppy compression on mine makes it sound slightly more briggs&strattonesque than most.

I change my vote from aircooled VW to any 2-stroke detroit diesel. Just listen to this mofo, and tell me you don't want to go drive a grain truck and punch a baby tree. I especially love how they hot rod it around in the wrong lane in the video, like some sort of street race based solely on power of intimidation.

Another vote for ye olde aircooled VW. This is mine and my stepdad's. It's currently out for major electrical surgery.

I think the magic present here is that they can sound simultaneously crappy and desirable . . . like an oversized Harley. Yes, its a flat four, and that's cool. No, there isn't much of a muffler on…

With my parents, it usually goes something like:

Me: Hey! Found car! Found nice car! Good car! Better than current car! Rusty car is potentially awesome car! I should buy car!

Parents: Will it help you graduate college any sooner?

Me: :(

Am I too stupid to figure out what the hell is going on here?

Sink or swim kiddies. I nominate ay 1-ton dump truck. No rear-window visibility, so you WILL use your mirrors. Hopefully it will have a 4-speed with a granny gear, lots of torque, and a spongy clutch, so you will have to learn to drive a stick, but it won't be super hard. Also, at some point, it will have to be filled…

Fire up the pitchforks, boys!

I was going to insult her nasty looking mud flap.

But its bees.

The thing that killed the ranger, and turned America's trucks fat is CAFE standards. They actually calculate vehicle footprint into the equation. For example (with made up numbers) a truck with a 11o" wheelbase that gets 25 mpg may be worse in CAFE's eyes than one with a 150" wheelbase that gets 20 mpg.

Thus, trucks…
