    Parents, we can’t control them. And unless you were brought up by the Shelbys or the Earhardts, it’s pretty likely that at some point your family owned a car that you nicknamed something like the dump truck for how quickly a date would go south when you arrived in it.

Now that those nightmares are behind you, tell us what it’s been like to get them fixed.

    Whether it was through a dealer, craigslist, or calling the number on a For Sale sign in the window of a street-parked ride, we’ve all had some less than wonderful experiences with buying a car. Some of them just leave a bad taste in your mouth. Some, make you question the fate of humanity- let’s…

While the car eventually pulled out a narrow victory, much discussion was undertaken on its desirability due to which end provided motivation- which in the case of this Elan, was the front.

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9765TUiJKls[/youtube] Another year (and decade) has managed to slip through my fingers rather uneventfully.  And by uneventfully I mean I didn’t end up dead or worried about dropping the soap.  I came.  I saw.  I fell asleep on the couch on New Year’s Eve and woke up some 3 hours later in a new decade.  Personally,…
