Hyundai, Daewoo, Kia and Suzuki drivers... 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill the Cat on  Sat Jan 5 02:30 CST 2002 [RELATED]

have replaced Chevette drivers at the bottom of the food chain. Driving one advertises to the world "I'm stupid, and I don't care if everyone else knows it!" Fortunately, they seem bent on extracting themselves from the gene pool, too. Note the insurance stats on these makes at THIS HERE which indicate that they hurt themselves about twice as often as "normal" people do.

And speaking of "abnormal people" the reason - I think - that Volvos "delight" is that "some" Volvos can do things that are entirely unexpected by the other traffic. A 245T 4-speed will smoke most automagic Bimmers at least to the other side of the intersection, at which point heh, it's a Volvo wagon and you're a Boy Scout, right? Bimmer Bob better take it in to Werner for a tune-up!
