CAR BRANDS

[Drich]

Is that poll taking the piss? Not a single European manufacturer?

Those aren't real cars.. I think their refered to as horseless carriages or some such nonsense.

My whole family worked and retired at Ford, so that's sort of my only option. My second car was a Saturn Ion for reasons I can't remember...I still have no opinion on it.

I remember having a fight with my girlfriend and leaving in the Saturn Ion. It was about 2am and snowy as hell when I decided to go back home. I was concentrating on the windows of our apartment to see if lights were on when I suddenly remembered a giant rock existed in the center of our parking lot. Everything was just covered in snow so there were no peripheral clues. I slammed on my breaks but it was too late. Luckily, I was only going parking lot speeds.

I got out and checked the damage. The front grill and license plate were up about a foot inward in the engine area. I looked at for second just dreading the cost of repairs when I remember the whole damn car was made out of dent proof plastic. I reached down and popped everything back into place and you couldn't even tell I hit anything. I couldn't believe that shit. I laughed pretty hard afterwards partly because the dread left so quickly and partly because my car was plastic.

I'll never understand why or how people can live in snow like that. I was in my late to mid twenties before I even saw it for the first time, and an hour later I had to drive in it.. Never again!
