1974 Datsun B210 hatchback, texture painted with white house primer over bondo.. Don't judge harshly, it ran and it was free.

Let me just start by saying;

We are all wrong.

And hey, c'mon, the Pinto isn't actually that bad.

Anyway, the winner is:

(Jeremy Clarkson Pause)

THE SCION tC.

I would rather be seen in a cow. Yes, I said in, not on. (Like Kirsten Dunst, maybe even worse if that's possible)

Have you ever met a tC driver who was remotely useful, interesting, intelligent, attractive, important, anything at all?

The answer to all these questions is no.

Sorry, I get a little emotional on the subject.

The one that conks out with you in it at the front of the queue at a red light.

Don't care what it is, could be an F40 or a clapped out Allegro, it will always feel the same.

I have to stick up for the PT Cruiser as it's my "other car" they are actually kinda fun to drive--not compared to a Jag of course.. but compared to others. Besides, they are the Other kitty car!

Or a Renault R4 with a leather roof and back, A beast is a beast even if with make up.

It's nice car to drive so funny but not for daily use or long targets.

Might buy one pnly for Pick-Nick's

OK.... Personally... Old Datsun 200sx.... Bought it to get back and forth to work in while I fixed the timing chain damage on my Camaro way back in the day... Bought for $50.00 (yes that is right) or the cost of a battery and gas for him to get it to me...




And in general.... Any of these (yes they show up on the used market in the US)






A cosmetic company in the US awards top sellers with custom painted "Mary Kay Pink" cars....

That old Datsun was not a bad car JO. Was that a less powerful brother to the 240z? As for the Volvo S40, poor little car. The pink Cataract is a GM so pink or not it's still a pos.

My first car was a 61 Ford Falcon with a pink bathmat to cover the exposed seat springs in the back.

The car had so little power people had to get out sometimes to back up an incline.

One of those Mercedes SSK fiberglass replicas....you know.... the ones with the 1000 spoke wire wheels, gold plated Nardi, and Pep Boy gauges....in my book those abominations represent the lowest classification in the 'World Register of Poor Taste'. I qualify this statement by my observation that the owners of these "things" usually wear white shoes and/or belts and often mismatch 2 different plaids. It is my further observation that these guys believe, with an almost religious conviction, that the entire world is lusting to own their car. Comical but sad HMMM?!?!

Haha, you are so right. I don't like those things either. Replicas are for watches not cars.



Perfect driving pants for this car:

A pink ricer. What's really sad is that it looks like the best car at a ricer car show.

Wrecked my 68 Camaro (this was 1968 I was 18), Had to drive a white 61 Merc. big ole 4 door sled. Was not cool on Weekends and couldn't do any drag racing. Thing is now it would be pretty cool to have it restored to cruise in now.

Get yourself a scale that not just actions your weight, but additionally determines the human body fat percentage. You may head to their website where they give an exercise test that can tell you the solution, If you’re at all uncertain whether p90x workout schedule is something for you.
Optimal effects, in minimal time. What is considered most enjoyed from those that practice the insanity workout schedule Workout is you do not have to be at a gym, you're able to do the exercise routines at your house at just sixty minutes a day. It is said that this definitely will test ones limitations both psychologically and physically.

A close friend had a Prius, if he had more then 2 pax; it would slow to a crawl on hills.

The Ozarks are full of hills.
