Perhaps something like this
Those start somewhere around $40k. I could pretty much buy a house in my neck of the woods for that price!

Now I know why you got a new car! Can I assume you got the Fender Premium Audio System?

Nice ! Once you've experienced German it's hard not to keep going !!
Christian, don't even think about turning that phrase into something it's not

Well said! It's hard to go back! I was a CADDY man for many years. But I gotta say I was really impressed with this car. It drives like a sports car, but rides like big sedan. SPIFFFFF!!!!!!!!

In wouldn't dare to drive in a car made of paper
"Trabant was a hollow lie of a car constructed of recycled worthlessness (actually, the body was made of a fiberglass-like Duroplast, reinforced with recycled fibers , such as cotton, or occasionally paper)
Trabants smoked like an Iraqi oil fire, when they ran at all, and often lacked even the most basic of amenities, like brake lights or turn signals"

I did wonder if it was something like a Trabant ! There was a special edition of the car programme Top Gear in the UK about a year or so ago.. and they featured an old Trabant !
Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Nov 15 2012, 04:56 PM
Yeah, i remmember it,there was also a Yugo featured in Top Gear !!
Theres a trabant on a parking lot behind my bulding, some guy's contaminating whole block with the toxic smoke going out of his Trabant's auspuch every time he strats it
Posted by: thefireball Nov 15 2012, 05:11 PM
WOW!!! That's COOL, Todd!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Nov 15 2012, 06:28 PM
Thanks man! I gotta say I LOVE this car!!!!

I'm surprised he doesn't run it on coal !!!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Nov 17 2012, 01:54 AM
) LOL, to provide some context here is a pic of the car in question that might be coal burning. Ugly, hateful piece of mechanical misery. Enjoy!
