I can see where his logic is going, wouldn't want anything to happen to such a lovely being if, heaven forbid, she should lay it down. The "half covered in road rash and scar tissue" look doesn't really work on a chick.

There's also no points for Ski Pass-Through, Giant Clock, No Tach, Mirror In Glove Box, or any of that stuff. Two ashtrays, no cupholders (that's not really a cupholder, as it's at a 30-something degree angle). Got a combined 65 for drivetrain layout, though (longitudinal/RWD/slant), and I decided I'd claim the single throttle body because it wasn't doing as well as it should, considering its appeal on Jalopnik. 15 Swede-points helped as well.

Do I get an extra +25 points because it's the same color and body style as the Mustard Yellow V8olvo started out as? I think I should. Also, the stock cold air intake looks like a phallus. That's gotta be good for another 10.

I want to hug you for the map pocket comment. Out of two '89 sedans, I have one half of one map pocket. And three-quarters of one console, and the plastic lumps on either side of the parcel shelf are light blue and turning into powder, and the seat-belt cover trim is cracked, and so's the dash (three cracks between 'em)...

I'd still do her. But I'd put a bag over her thumb first.

Well from this angle, kind of see young Angelina Jolie in there... but let's not forget that Angelina Jolie is not shy and had that lesbian scene on Gia
