That's Jaguar as opposed to Jaguar Warrior...confusing I know.

My car is below.

But regards the computer games comment by Verto - not comparable. Computer games do not have a significant environmental externality unlike a car...so your point is hereby nullified

Its a well known fact that computer games make you violent and want to kill people though. So there is an environmental externality.

Good to hear. I was wondering why a seemingly smart poster like you was for a while lobbying for SUVs.

I have two rides. 1992 Toyota Camry and a 1995 Ford Probe GT.

Because I bought the Ford Probe in 1995 and was latter given the Toyoya for free when my grandfather died. The Probe is sporty and fun (if not an actual sports car) while the Toyota is my "practical car" which I use for ferrying around friends, family, and co-workers.

Occasionally when I want to go to sporting events or go downtown to get drunk off my ass I'll take the San Diego Trolley.

	Increase Your PM Length

What amates me in this thread is that all cars showed so far are quite big. The cars sold in the US seem not to care about minimizing the room used by the engine and the storage. Oerdin's and Kuci's 2-door cars are as long as ordinary 4-door cars.

For comparison, here's the standard fare of the European city dweller:

Renault Twingo:


Fiat Punto:


Peugeot 206


The storageroom is much smaller, as is the room devoted to the engine.

They're small, and they don't guzzle too much gas. For my non-driving self, it's all that matters

(And I can testify that the Twingo and 206 are acceptably comfortable, despite being small. I don't remember having climbed in a Punto though)

There are plenty of cars that don't guzzle gas, and have some ass , for crying out loud.

And the pictures perfectly illustrate why most European car manufacturers have failed out of the US market.
