I see the latest Car of the Year is the Tesla model S...a high priced vehicle with an operating range of 160 miles,and the company's main claim to fame is they are the darling of Hollywood's Liberal elite. Motor Trend how far you have come. :loco:

I know . I was surprised no one else had bid on it but I think he had listed it poorly.

First new car my dad bought was because of this magazine
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-FEBRUAR ... 8370841%26 He figure,(being young and naive) that these guys know what they are talking about,so he bought a 61 Pontiac Temptest( car of the year),it was the biggest lemon he ever owned,he bemoaned that car to the day he died. The worst thing it did was leave him ,my mom ,and brother stranded coming back from vacation when it threw it's timing chain They had to wire my grandmother for money to get it fixed so they could get home.
