It was the hue of green found only in babies' diapers and it was so low I couldn't see it parked out of my back window. The crunch told me I'd hit it. Poor widdow wabbit was totaled! I let fly a loud shit, and my five and six year olds basically pulled out the metaphorical soap on my ass! You know, I don't usually use this kind of language. I gotta get a hot shower soon! Anyway, this is one of the reasons I don't drive cars the size of my shoes.Deedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220174067034720943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-92162684631432194542021-08-18T10:13:14.675-04:002021-08-18T10:13:14.675-04:00Diesels were fashionable for a few years in the la...Diesels were fashionable for a few years in the late 70's early 80's.

I drive so little that I don't pay much attention to gas mileage. I am usually more concerned about the look and feel inside, than outside of a car.

I like the way cars looked in the early eighties! LOL Also, I like smaller cars. I've always driven what people call 'economy' cars. My first car was a used Saturn SC1. I loved that third little door!<br />The last car I bought was chosen because it gives me good mileage. That was my main concern. Well, that and the 100 thousand mile warranty.<br /><br />XOXO<br />Sixpence Notthewiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230453585589265578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-66932790846070946642021-08-18T04:10:45.439-04:002021-08-18T04:10:45.439-04:00Sorry, but it really is quite an ugly car and what...Sorry, but it really is quite an ugly car and what a poor engine to need two new heads in its short life, unless you neglected it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-56200531610379311102021-08-18T03:15:40.095-04:002021-08-18T03:15:40.095-04:00I never really thought about it, but maybe lemon y...I never really thought about it, but maybe lemon yellow IS a bad color for a car.
