One of my neighbors just got one of those fugly cars. I don't get it. They are awful looking.
Posted by kathy at August 14, 2003 02:02 AMI love the Chrysler PT cruiser. Do you have Renault Kangoos in the US?
Posted by Anji at August 14, 2003 04:44 AMOh you just stole my topic - The ONLY American car I like which we can get here is the Grand Cherokee Jeep. The Chrysler you can keep, thank-you-very-much. As for the other gas-guzzlers we see in the movies, pleeeease tell me they are not manufactured anymore?
Tell me Bill - is the little white VW with a The Who sticker on it - a little white beetle? If so, you now have a collectors item. I first learnt to drive in my mothers vw beetle - what a wonderful little car she was.

He wanted to get flames on it but couldn't "justify the cost"....
I just laughed. I figured he'd thrown away his money on stupid car anyway, might as well get the flames!

You can fit a longboard INSIDE the car, wash all of the sand out with a hose, and get a reliable Japanese car. Now, the Aztec is the ugliest car out there. Must be why they were discontinued.
Posted by pink lotus at August 14, 2003 02:05 PMTo me the Element just looks like they got part-way through designing a vehicle and then the pizza showed up and they all left to eat dinner, and when they got back they found that someone had taken their plans and made a car out of them. The Aztec, on the other hand, was more like the "Homer" from the simpsons - a car that, in being all things for all people, became a really ugly clumsy thing that scared small children and dogs.
I think the water was green because electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum was passing through it and all wavelengths but green were absorbed. If the color bothers you, try to reduce the amount of ambient electromagnetic radiation by shutting off the lights and covering the windows. Hope that helps.
Posted by dan at August 14, 2003 04:46 PMThe ELEMENT reminds me of the type of vehicles that came with our little playsets when we were kids. I think it's what the Weeble Wobbles drove.
