    How many school tykes can you entice with promises of candy and puppies in only six months?

    Did that woman in the front get a lopsided haircut to match the lopsided windows of the Cube? Is that why she won?

    I'm almost positive that they dropped this off for Markie. There is no way he would leave his house to pick it up.

    If it's only for six months, I'd attempt to hoon the piss out of it. It'd better be a stick; if it's a CVT, it wouldn't be going back with a working transmission. They didn't say he had to return it intact, just that he had to return it... right?

    Or better yet- take it over the Falls.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Its a Nissan. The very second he puts it into drive without checking the mirrors first, he voids the warranty. Thus making him pay a whole lot of money for a rounded version of a Scion.

    Nice price, even though it doesn't really make sense to buy a ratty old English car for that much. We're thinking with the heart, not the pocket book here.


    Now if it was in crappy shape and cost half as much, I would say turn it into a gasser. But that's what I say about all cars from this era.

    It's a perfect little car, what the hell. Nice price.


    Too bad our Government Motors Corporation won't take some styling cues from classics and lose the jellybean all-of-a-piece styling for some fenders/wings and shapely hoods/bonnets and trunks/boots.

    Good sir! I take great umbrage at this comment! It insults all my 1964 Hornet stands for! My car's old, rattly but can crack 100mph and off roads well.
