I miss her already. >_<

my dad's looking for a new (used) car. He just sent me this e-mail:
How about a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP?

Mmmm, yeah. maybe. if it wasn't one of the ugliest cars ever produced...
Any closet car-guys out there? I'm having trouble recomending anything sporty but with trunk-space for about $10k
He really wants a WRX wagon, but they're too pricy still.

WRX wagons do seem nice... The only problem I have with them is that they have to have Premium. Blargh.

Sporty with trunk space sounds like a hatchback could be an option. When you put the rear seats down it's amazing how much room they have inside. I sould easily put my mountain bike in the back of my Probe.

Tell him to go down south and buy something, our used cars are better.

Seriously, though.

Northern cars more often have rust.

Many times when classic cars are for sale, they will say things like "AZ car" or "CA car" because then you know it's never even HEARD of road salt.

Yeah.

When I was but a wee one I remember watching the monster truck races one morning, and they had a thing about how northern wrecked cars were faster than southern wrecked cars because they collapsed better.

Wrecked car racing.

Yeah I guess they don't make Celicas in wagons do they?

They did years ago, but I pay no attention to Celicas.

...my brother had a Celica wagon. Seriously.

Carpictures makes you login now so I don't wanna go there.

They probably called it a ahtchback, but it was a damn wagon. Subaru and Volvo are just the only companies that will call anything a wagon any more.

But it wasn't, really.

A Probe is a hatchback, and this was much closer to a wagon.

Just like all these "crossover vehicles".

They're freaking station wagons.
