How much do you love your car?

Wild in the streets
Man takes the ride of his life clinging to rear of stolen car

FLINT - Tony J. Young wasn't about to lose his car again.

His 2003 Ford Mustang Coupe had been stolen before, so when it happened again Thursday morning, Young grabbed the rear spoiler and held on as the thief hit the gas.

Clutching the back of his dark gray Mustang, Young managed to call 911 on his cellphone as the car raced down snowy Flint streets. (...)

His Mustang hit speeds of 80 mph across Flint, including stretches of I-475 and I-69. As the car went faster and faster and swerved back and forth, Young said he had no choice but to hold on.

3. I hate my car ! They can HAVE it !!
Whenever it rains I get a puddle on the floor of the passenger side ... the brakes are shitty ... the cd player only works when it wants to ... it handles like a tank and sucks gas like a Hummer.

It's a 2001 Nissan Sentra and the WORST of all 5 of the Sentra's I've had. :(



:hippie:

4. For as much as I love my cars, I wish I could live without them.
I would much rather return to the days when the only way I could get from pt a to b, would be to ride my bike, take a train, or walk.

5. I haven't owned a car in 12 years
If this happened to me I would call Avis and tell them the bad news.
