I am going to make a giant blender big enough to fit a full Fiesta in it just to see the car get shredded! Mwahaha! I am an evil genius. (BTW does anyone know how to make a fiesta size blender, if so send me the instructions please)

@alexander_the_car_salamander: I'd start by asking at Mal's House of Large Sizes. You'll probably also want to get a heavy duty extension cord.

Boron steel, hmmm yep someone's gonna need it. Saw one of these on the the road heading in to work on Friday. Gal behind the wheel was a complete nut, cut off 3 vehicles including a 5-ton box truck. Not a bad looking little car, seemed pretty nimble too.

Too bad the Fiesta comes out after CFC, I would have bought one in a split second. As is...stuck with my hyundai for the next 5 years. Domestic auto makers...always a day late and a dollar short.

@Saboth: I crap you not, I had a dream that I bought a Hyundai under the CFC program, and it wasn't a Genesis coupe. I was very happy to wake up.

@GreenN_Gold:
Lol, I was really tempted to get the genesis turbo, because it DID qualify for the full 4,500 since my truck got 14 mpg, and it is rated at 24 mpg combined...but I just couldn't justify that car payment.

it's corny, but they don't take themselves seriously so I'm not sure what I feel. Will it Blend has always made me feel a little strange.

The acting and overall quality of this clip make the two protagonists look like borons.
Sorry, I had to.

What happened to the Jalopkid who had a Fiesta? And why wasn't he giving rides? Maybe he gave someone a ride and ended up in his own boot?

I've heard of girls bringing an ugly friend along to make themselves look better by comparison, but Joan Rivers? Isn't Jill taking that to an unnecessary extreme?

How about a "Taurus Movement" for Europe? Seriously, I can test drive all the Fiesta's I want, I'm sitting a few miles from the Mondeo/S-Max/Kuga manufacturing plant...but I really like that SHO.

Grass, greener, etc etc.

@PD to be: Life is full of trade offs.

Personally, I'll give you 5 thousand SHO's in exchange for Ford's entire European line-up, and why don't you throw in a Clio or two in there, just for kicks.

I spent last evening working on a female friends Sebring. All the symptoms of a bad alternator, but they say today it's just the battery. The battery that's only accessible through the wheel well.

While charging up the battery to drive it a few miles to the dealer, I noticed the gas gauge read dead flat empty. Turns out, yeah, it really was. So, last thing I wanted to do was ALMOST make it to the dealer on battery power, and then run out of gas.

So, gas can? No, she doesn't own one. So I sent her out to get one, and some gas, while I charged the battery via jumper cables and my trucks alt.

20 minutes later, my phone rings. "How do I get the cap off the gas can?" Then, "How do I fill the gas can?"

...

No thanks, and no severe offense intended, Jill, but I just don't think I could deal with it. Too soon.

@Leeeeena, a Jalopchick: Heh. Nah. Not at all. It's because she just now learned how to drive a stick. Maybe that's because she's always lived in congested cities where most people didn't own a car, but my assumption is that learning to use a manual transmission just isn't something that's been of interest to her before.

Since, in my experience, car-people -- either male or female -- tend to feel compelled to learn such things in high school (even if it means hanging out with the nerd with the mufflerless 4-speed Maverick with "Swamp Monster" spray painted on the side....I was sooo jealous of that dude for a while...) I've mentally labeled her Non-Car-Person. Plus, she just kinda strikes me that way anyway.

After going back to basics with my girly-girl friend last night......no thanks. Not for a car-centric occasion, at any rate. I'd end up saying something unintentionally rude. Or maybe I'd just start twitching.

If the response is overwhelming, she may need to create a quick contest to identify a winner. The winning entrant should correctly guess how many cosmetic surgeries Joan Rivers has had.

I'm off on Friday and I'm right outside of NYC- this sounds like a good idea.

Do I get to drive the car?

And yes, I would submit to a background check.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: I'm out of school for the summer, am also right outside of NYC, and am willing to submit to a background check. Plus, I'm a cute girl! What could be better than that? ltg-ttc, you may have competition.

P.S. You DEFINITELY should have a star by now, this is sort of ridiculous.
