I thought at one point the colt was going to kick the rear of the car and make the gas tank explode.

I love the import bashing, ha ha..


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Coming Sept 11....just another part of the conspiracy, I guess.  It's not Bush's fault, it must have been Nixon.

I remember the Pintos, they were crappy cars, but take a look at the Corolla, or the Datsun B210 of the same era.  They were horrible crap, too.  The Vega was horrible; the Monza wasn't much of a car, either, but you could get it with a honkin engine. 

My diesel car self-identifies as an electric vehicle.
