"It was a high rat-colored machine with large thin wheels and bulging headlights. When he got up to it, he saw that one door was tied on with a rope and that it had an oval window in the back. This was the car he was going to buy." Heed the words of the mighty prophet Flannery O'Connor- who kicked ass thoroughly and relentlessly- in her 1952 novel, Wise Blood, and get yourself the 2007 equivalent of a rat-colored Essex. I'm thinking that would be a possum-colored '81 Bonneville with Radial Tuned Suspension.
