Horrid is the word you're looking for - looks like a Fiesta that's shrunk in the wash.

These have got a lot of stick in the past, but we've loved them since they first came out & believe me, they're a great car to drive

Also, if you're in my town and hear avant rock being blasted.....you can take a wild guess without even seeing LOL

Hopefully, one day I will hear avant rock blasted one day, either in LA or in Jersey. LOL
I "raise the roof" in my car with "Tales from Topographic Oceans", "Ommadawn", and "Coyote" when I get the chance, unlike your usual Mexican regional music, Kanye West, or Hannah Montana.

I don't own it, but the car I usually drive is a 2000 Honda Odyssey, aw yeah. It's got a huge gash down the side from when I was struck by a fire hydrant, which makes it even more fabulous.
if you own a sodastream i hate you

2011 Nissan Altima.  I've had it for a little over a month.  So far so good.

I've reversed into a few BMWs.  My rear bumper is usually fine but theirs usually gets scratched.  LOL

The BMW had to be towed but my truck started up OK and I drove home despite the malfunctioning fuel pump.  Headbanger

Actually, being wiped out by a BMW isn't a bad thing.  More BMWs should be involved in accidents (with no injuries sustained, of course).

Not entirely sure except for one of the crashes.  I was listening to Soft Machine's Spaced when I was t-boned in the red pu.

I'm kinda thinking that now that I'm on number four what are the odds of having another one wiped out?  I suspect it will come in the form of some kind of freak accident.

By the way, in the crash of the white nissan I was listening to Big Big Train's English Boy Wonders and the Airbag didn't really save my life.  In fact it misdeployed and my face hit the steering wheel.  The lid popped off but I got a lung full of airbag gas which I had a severe allergic reaction to.
