1.) Any Hyundai or Kia - if you're a single guy and you go on a first date riding around in one of these, chances are you won't be going on a second one. Hyunda and Kias scream, "I'm poor." 2.) Toyota Corolla/Camry - nothing says "I'm boring" quite like a Corolla. Camrys are the most overrated vehicles around. Underreported reliability issues galore. 3.) Volkswagen - chick cars, poor reliability. Might as leave your credit card at the dealership when you buy a VW. You'll be using it often to pay for repairs. 4.) Dodge Magnum - why would I want to ride around in a hearse? 5.) Any of the cutesy cars like the Toyota Yari, Chevy Aveo, Nissan Versa, Honda Fit. Those are death traps. 6.) Hummers - Hummers are for men who don't quite measure up in a certain area, and feel the need to offset that short coming. 7.) Subarus - all hideously ugly cars. 8.) Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country - ugly with spotty reliability. 9.) Saturns - ugly and underpowered offerings, the Saturn name should go the way of Plymouth and Yugo. 10.) Chevy Uplander - am I a van or an SUV? I have an identity crisis. |

had a run there of about three years when it was over rated. Three out of over, what, a hundred? Not too shabby. I won't be owning any crossovers or SUVs personally. My wife may want one, but it sure as heck isn't gonna be mine. |

MB's are dull and uninspired and snooty-cow. Truth betold, iluvmysephia1 has never seen a MB worth spending a dime on. Just the truth.

So easy.... Dodge Ramcharger. A complete symbol of consumption bought by people that can't afford excessive consumption and are totally obsessed with tailgating and intimidation. Still remember the ad campaign thats slogan was: "Power that says get outta my way or I'll kick your butt" So much for trying to abate road-rage. Great. Oh, and make sure you get one with a hemi.... What's that sucking sound?

Replying to: ponderpoint (Feb 24, 2007 6:05 pm) Different cars, different trucks, but if it is a Ramcharger, guar-un-teed they gonna tailgate! There must be a special form you fill out before you buy one declaring that you are an aggresive driver. Then you have to take a road test tailgating a minivan, blinking your high beams. I had a friend that had one with a hemi and he had to get rid of it. It was getting down to feeding the truck or feeding the kids. |
