lol! I guess this is when you are to the point where you live in it? I honestly do not know how some people make it through the day. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/5182031101.html "Needing to sale my Lincoln townhouse . It's a four door car. Has 120000 miles and the air works excellent it will need tires but can make it home on what has on it . Asking 1500 or best ofFer needing to go asap"
I had a friend in Lincoln, Illinois who lived in an apartment they called a townhouse. But it didn't have tires on it.
Before Lincoln actually made an SUV, there was a joke going around that if Lincoln did make an SUV, it would be called a "Town House" to go along with their "Town Car".
Obviously owned by my dear departed mom (Love you, Mom!), who had problems with malaprops (Someone who malappropriates words). We used to eat at the Royal Fork (we kids called it the Royal Pork-out), but Mom had it in her head that it was called the Golden Crown. Her most favorite Led Zeppelin cut was "The Lemon Song," but for what reason only God knows, she called it "The Lime Song" by Lead Blimp.
I wonder if the seller of the Townhouse also has a Camero and a Volkswagon Beatle. Or maybe a classic Oldsmobile Cutless? He should definitely stop driving his Plymouth Valium!! (He's probably just another victim of auto spell.)
My Family has the same issues, My step Mother was looking for a car to replace her 1992 Caprice Wagon, she finally decided on a HHR but she told be she did test drive a Pontiac Vibee (she was pronouncing Vibe with a small I sound and pronouncing the long ee at the end). I thought it was cute and did not correct her, she was 80 years old at the time. Then there was a coworker that had several masters degree's looking for a new car in about 1985, she couldn't decide between the Pontiac Goostie or the Goolie models. I was really confused until she showed up driving her new Pontiac 6000STE so she thought the 6000 was GoooSTE & the 6000LE was GoooLE. I was floored!!!! She did make the correct choice with the AWD Goooste in my opinion.
My mom, in her 90's, couldn't get her head around the name of the VW Passatt wagon. To her, "Passatt" wasn't a word, so it couldn't be used as a car name. She just couldn't remember "Passatt". She would hear it as "Piss-ant" and would think "Passatt" was just a mis-pronunciation of "Piss-ant". She thought it a really stupid name.
