Cars you'd prefer never to drive...

Okay, I'm going to take serious exception the posting of the festiva.

I not only drove one, but I raced one, dammit; and it was as fun as any car that takes 12 seconds to get to 60 MPH could be.

Not only that, but I'm neither cool enough nor jaded enough to be too good for any car. Granted, there are quite a few that I wouldn't choose to make a daily driver out of, but that's a long way from being too god to sit behind the wheel for a little while.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

For a while, I was thinking about getting a Pussy Wagon keychain.  I guess I'd rock it, too.

Oh, I remember now how much I hated the 2008 Jeep Liberty rental I drove. What an absolute piece of garbage that was for a new model. Never again.

His name is Buck, and he came here to...why, yes, yes it is.

Quentin Tarantino actually owns that truck.

In one of the more impressive bits of editted-for-TV editing I've seen, when Kill Bill was shown on basic cable, both the keychain and the tailgate were re-made as saying "Party Wagon."

Making that movie ready for basic is impressive in and of itself.

Blood spurting from gaping sword wounds, knives flying hither and yon, and they go to the trouble of renaming the Pussy Wagon?

Oh hell yeah, I'd drive the Pussy Wagon with pride. I however would never want to drive a Hummer H2 or the fucking newer generation SLK. H2's just plain suck dick, and in the SLK I always smash my arm into the center piece between the two seats. I swear almost every single time, *SMASH* "Oww....MOTHERF**KIN....DAMNIT!"  Stupid ass design, thanks mercedes.

You have to understand. It's America. We can have spurting blood and gaping wounds.

But children would grow up to be morally depraved miscreants if they were allowed to see a boob before they turn 17.

I can think of a few cars that make riding my bike a viable and more enjoyable alternative...

The car I own being one of them :(

Truthfully, I will drive ANYTHING from Asia that can be significantly lowered, and is available with a stickshift and sunroof, that is bigger or equal in size to a mid 90s Civic and smaller than a late 90s Accord...

My friend had one throughout high school and it was a sweet little ride. Snow didn't faze it; it was like a big 4-wheeler in the winter.

The only downside was 4 reasonably fit men can pick it up and walk off with it. :lol:

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Besides festivas have a ton of potential. The Capri/Mazda B6T turbo fit in them nicely:

You might want to consider letting it roll off the cliff on its own or pushing it off instead of you driving it off of the cliff. Driving it off of the cliff is bound to hurt.    :devil:

Plus with gas prices being what they are, it's better to save the $$$$ and let gravity take it where you would drive it anyways.

Somewhere, most likely in the back of a stretch Escalade ESV, Al Gore is finding sexual pleaure in the pain being felt by H2 owners at this present moment in time.

I have to admit, I have the urge to laugh tauntingly whenever I see one at a gas pump :devil:

Onslaught

I just thought of a car that I would never drive. The last T-Bird they made. The most uncomfortable car I've ever been in ever. Everything is just made wrong for someone my hight and I actually hurt when I get in and out of one. I won't even drive them around work now to fix one. I make others do it for me because I hate them so much. Fortunately they didn't make them very long and they don't come in much anymore.

I'd rather walk then drive that thing.

The Festiva was sold as a Kia here.  Yes, I'd like to Pimp My Pride if I had one :praise:
