    I'm in agreement with DUSTYSTRINGS; that's not Eiffel Tower, that's at best a clumsy attempt at auto sixty-nine. However, I really think it's just a bout of road-head caught on camera...

    Marilyn Chambers in the classic Behind the Green Door does the four guys / one gal encounter. In the early eighties Tony's Initiation was made as a scene-for-scene all-male version, including the bit with the guys in slings.

    I'm gonna defend BMRFILE's right to make a generic "fat chick" joke around here. It's innocuously a cultural reference, and is not presented in any kind of venomous way. I say it is safely within bounds for Jalopnik's standards of conduct.

    The Neon owner is an American expat. What kind of dumbass moves to Yurp and buys a Neon? That's even worse than a European buying a Neon, I think. He's probably the sort of jackass that misses things like ClearChannel radio, Big Gulps, and USA Today.

    Honestly guys, whenever I encounter '97 Civics and '97 Neons, they all seem to show the same symptoms of neglect and are equally terrible cars. They both seem to blow head gaskets at alarming rates, so I hate them both equally. When it comes to "quality", I wouldn't use that word anywhere near either car.
