    Uh do the tires match?

    is the seat propped by a 2x4?

    Is there a smell coming from the dash at all times?

    What about bondo and body rot?

          You guys are asking such highly personal questions! Have you no shame?

            Were full of shame.

            Our Catholic schoolgirls outfits prove that.

              Haha! Why...let me tell you more...

              I have more Bondo than your mom's er...sorry, one more time.

              Lotsa bondo.
              Ripped vinyl seats.
              The nice "old as dirt" car smell, with a hint of exhaust leakage.
              A superghetto tape player which also serves to hold my glove box shut, wired (poorly) to a single, all-treble speaker box behind my seat.
              All-rust/bondo/rustough paint channels below my doors.
              A random hole in my door where I'm guessing a speaker was once crappily installed.

              Here, have a look-see!

                Note the missing hubcap and sagging wooden headliner with no cloth. You get that yellow fuzzy crap in your hair every time you drive...insta-dandruff...

                  Did I mention the necessity to jump-start it EVERY TIME? I love that quality in my vehicles...

                    Oh, that's a pretty green. What's its name?

                      You know, I'm not sure yet. Put a poll up in my jeep club to see if they think its a boy or girl. They said boy, and you did too...guess I need to start thinkin' on it!

                      My first beater was Ka'a'ina = evil car in Hawai'ian.
                      Second was Ka'a'Huna = sacred car. That didn't work either.
                      Third was Drexel = from True Romance. Naturally, it didn't behave well.
                      Sad part is, I finally have a car worthy of a hawai'ian name, and I'm too scared to go there again!
