Who am I to talk! I don't even have a commuter car!
Hells Bells, I can beat that hands down. We've been talking about my Vdub for a couple of month now and I will post a photo as soon as I take one with my other camera as the only photo's I have are too high a resolution to attach here. I'm in the middle of another project right now so will get to it before the day is over. Does the winner get anything? LOL

I Had To Do This Right Now

I dropped my other project to get this done. I've not looked at the rest cuz if anyone can beat this one......I need a room mate.

Is it ugly? Yes, kinda like a Pug dog. Is it fun to drive? Yes. Does it get 35 mpg? Yes. Is it legal? Barely.

You might have a run for your money. Glad I am not the judge, if I was I think Mark has one UGLY car there.

You wouldn't like it if you got your flip-flop stuck in the other day in a gas station parking lot going in to buy a quart of oil for it and landing on your face and skining your elbow like I did the other day. I am thinking about removing the towbar for the summer as I do not plan on going anywhere very soon. But I finally read the entire thread and see I'm the only one with the ***** to enter the contest.

You bet your sweet bippy I do. I even have 1 or 2 that like going with me. But they're afraid to drive it cuz it's a scary stick. Cracks me up. Being a stick is half the fun of it.
