This is the car that I'd like to get. I know, I know, everyone seems to hate Scions but I like them.
Not that I'll get one, I'll probably just buy an old used Jetta or Camry or Civic or whatever... Need to start hauling my ass out to Amherst for work every day.

I played bass in high school orchestra so I feel your pain (e:lauren).
But I think this guy was a little light on the hate. This song deserves so much more scorn. People should get so angry listening to it that dogs walk upright, the unborn die, milk curdles, and one eyed old women foretell the coming of Satan.

Oh. My. God. And I thought it couldn't get any better than totally gay for america.
This was perfect from the beginning (I played bass clarinet and we NEVER got to play melodies!) all the way till the fabulous ending...usually I get bored and turn things off but I watched this all the way through and was even laughing, out loud!

I like them a lot. Roomy, efficient use of space, easy to park.
The thing about that car that I think is that they made for the young kids in college and they (form what I have heard maybe just there marketing) and very costumizable and that is the point of them so you can have the features and color or skins they might even call them there is a really cool one that I think I may have posted a picture of that is very boxy but is covered in white lightning and blue sky on Brynt St.
That is a really nice looking car.
These are the kind of cars I like (e:paul,32328)
I like Scions, because they are made be Toyota, but I am liking them less because they are getting bigger and tend to be all about image.
Have you seen the Toyota Yaris? It's my new favorite.
