Yeah, and if you speed up in the passing lanes it better be to pass!


And if you Subakookaroos are going 45 when it's single lane and then bump it up to 80 when there's two, you should guit that too. It's really frustrating.

once I pull out my long one and shred it in your face that stereotype will be clashed. :D


Not likely. While you're at it, toss on a huge fin, rims that are worth more than the car itself, tint al the windows and cover the back and sides with all kinds of racing parts stickers that are actually not even installed in your car. Oh wait, don't forget to tell everyone you know that a dude drove one of these things in Fast & The Furios, that will put the kabosh on any gay rumors.

I had a '98 2WD Tacoma that got 32MPG freeway, most owners report their mileage in the low 20's

take the 10 grand you'd drop on a nice used car and buy 10 old volvo 240s. You'll wind up with a bitchen collection, room for whatever you want in there including your sleeping self, and the cars are unstopable. gas mileage isn't so hot.

Yeah, but the coolness of owning one of those hot rods totally overshadows gas prices.

I give a lot of road stink eye for this. Sorry if you have trouble merging at 20 under the speed limit, but I am definitely not f'in slowing down to let you in.

I didn't see if someone already mentioned it and I know it's no station wagon but elements are pretty sweet. We have one. I've been slightly dissapointed with the gas mileage (we consistantly get 20-24) but they are pretty handy. I can fit my 9'8 inside, it's AWD, and the inside is all mat so sand/water not a big deal, and last you can take the rear seats out to have a large cargo area. Oh yeah and you can sleep inside by laying down all of the seats, and the suicide doors make for a nice changing area. There that was last.

i've always been partial to the mid-80's 300TD.....
granted....it's a total pig off the line
and the fuel economy tops at 28 (on a good day)
but the engine is solid

and.... you could fit a kazillion boards in one
