    And the first one is a Fairmont...:(

    Some Radio station has a blog for real owners' registered clunkers. :rofl2:

    Almost sounds like some EBay sales, but these folks aren't selling.

    A car becomes a clunker when the owner doesn't have the good sense to take care of it properly.
    It reflects on the owner, not the car. Granted, some cars are lemons, but all cars come with TSBs. Even a crappy design stands half a chance in the right hands.

    Must be a Canadian joint, never heard of it. All we have is Gut Rot Wendys, McDonnalds with their Mc****s, Burger King Home of the King Sized Squirts. I hate fastfood, 20 minutes later Im running for the crapper!

    You're missing the preservatives in those rocks they call burgers. Man, that crap keeps you young, or gets you fat and you die young. :banghead3:

    I've mentioned before,the pearl of wisdom given to us neighbourhood kids,back in the late60's/early 70's,by one of my friend's dads,"The problem with most American cars is,they get sold to most Americans."---another of his teachings was,"Cars are like dogs.It only takes a bad owner about three months to completely and totally ruin one." In the forty years since,I've noticed how true his little sayings are.Just the other day,my wife(who's not that good at doing this on her own cars)had to show her mom how to check the fluids and tire pressure on her two year old Toyota Highlander.(which mom-in-law admits she bought because Toyota advertised cars you DON'T even have to maintain)(weld the hood shut,it'll be okay)The wife said EVERYTHING under the hood was labeled!..Toyota had made it SO easy!!.She couldn't figure out how her mom couldn't figure this out!!! I think her mom is like "most Americans",other than putting gas in the tank and the key in the ignition,most Americans DON'T WANT to have to deal with routine maintainance...I'm convinced that,if mom-in-law's Highlander didn't come with a maintainance program from the dealership,it's be dead allready...

    There's a government guy there writing down the VIN's of these respective clunkers. When it's all over they will come to the owners' homes to collect the cars for the crusher. :yup:
