Your problem is that minivans and SUVs are not categorized as “cars,” so the car manufacturers can make far more of them without hurting their fleet average. If you want seating for six, Congress has inadverdantly motivated Detroit to want to sell you a much bigger (and ironically less fuel efficient) vehicle. I’m pretty sure that the 2013 Chevy Impala was the last six-seater car available in the US.

A friend of a friend had one of those Citations. It self-immolated due to an electrical problem in the dashboard.

Why do you have the need to beat a toaster on 4 wheels? I usually see some idiots try to “beat” me after a red light when I drive my Viper but I don’t bite as I know in reality I can smoke em’.

Congratulations on owning a Viper! In the incident I referred to I was trying to merge into the lane occupied by the Tesla but the Tesla wouldn’t have it. I should have just slowed down and merged behind the dude. I agree, with a Viper you got nothing to prove.

Considering all that France went through in the past week, do you REALLY think it’s a good idea to post a picture of Hussain Bolt?

Is Hussain Bolt an Islamic terrorist? I’m confused.

“Is Hussain Bolt an Islamic terrorist? I’m confused.”

I doubt it. Most are not, but they do tend to have sympathies in that direction.

The Impala was a split bench, I was trying to figure how far back must one go to find a straight bench, the kind where one can get in the passenger door and easily slide to the driver,s side. You are right about the car vs. truck issue. I’d be okay with a STRAIGHT truck bench seat that could be retrofitted. Even the tricks have moved away from that.

Perhaps the name anticipates what most shoppers will do when they see it.

It is also likely they saw it as complementing anyone who would buy it, that is, the buyers would be NUTS.

Thanks, man. I really, rarely drive it. the reason why I bought one is that was my car in the Playstation’s Gran Turismo when I was a kid LOL. Promised myself to buy one when I grow older and have money.
