Alternatively, if you want him to stop complaining about the car he has, then you could always suggest a car that's worse than one he has now. How do you think he would feel about a Mini Cooper? Toyota Corolla? VW Golf? It's a shame that they still don't make Yugos any more...

*sniff, sniff* Ah the smell of testosterone...I seem to be hearing an awful lot of Tim "the Tool Man" Taylor grunting going on around here... :wink:

I would suspect that if we had a second car it would be a truck...hubby's doing of course ;)

We're talking about Boilerdude, who wants an american muscle car or giant AWD truck that would be the envy of any redneck here in the South. Trust me - the Mini-Cooper is the far opposite extreme from those categories...

What in the heck is an agricultural gear box? Sounds like something I would be able to grow some lovely fruits and veges in while I'm driving along :shock: I suppose the car could be like a little greenhouse...hmmm....open up the sunroof for a little watering now and then...it could work :D ;)

Yep, that's the spirit! Although I see more of the modern model of the Beetle on the roads than the original classics nowadays. And to be honest, I haven't seen a Fiat 500 except on TV (maybe it's an European car?). We really need an american ANTI-muscle car/truck...

The point is if you boilerdude the option of a car that is soooooo totally opposite of what he would really love to have, then it will make him rather stick with the Turd for now....

HaHa it's a gearbox out of a tractor, although it would be a warm as a greenhouse no a/c in those days and the original did not have a sunroof.

Not to up on American cars but do you mean something like the Chrysler PT Cruiser or the Chevy Matiz.

I've never heard of the Chevy you mentioned, but I find the PT Cruisers to be ugly :P I would drive just about anything if someone wanted to gift a vehicle to me and I could wrap it with Disney stuff!

Isn't that a Daewoo "re-branded" with a Chevy name? I don't think they're marketed here (I've not seen them around here).

Name changing happens alot with cars. Some american cars are re-named when sold in Europe.

I understand what you're saying mindflipper :D B-dude will stick with the Turd for now b/c it will allow us to get back to Disney!!!

And I've seen some Daewoo around here but they are older. Funny, b/c I just saw one when I was driving into work yesterday!!! What are the odds?!

All the PT Cruiser is, is a Dodge Neon with a different chassis.. Literally.

Yea that's the one. I used to have one it was like a little roller skate on wheels 900cc engine but when you turned the a/c on the speed got hit, fantastic thing to park though tiny spaces R us.
