Cars usually driven by librarians, yuppies, old people, exc. This is because everyone else hasn't figured out how cool they are yet.

A company that, like GM, used to build shit cars... but they have improved a lot recently. It has always built decent trucks, though. Chevy always seems to be one step ahead, though, because GM has more money, and a larger infrastructure, than most modern countries.
My dad's old Colony Park wagon, which was built by Ford, was a piece of shit. However, my mother's new Taurus is a pretty good car.

Ford is going to get rid of the Taurus, and replace it with a re-badge Mazda 6 variant called the "Ford Futura"? What the fuck is that shit? Why don't they just re-name the Crown Victoria the "Ford Galaxie", or re-badge a Mazda Protege and call it the "Ford Falcon"?

"I could out-race a Civic in my 1994 Cavalier four-banger, even if I were towing my mom's 1990 Buick Century wagon behind it."

Hebrew term for "gentile", it's usually used in an unflattering manner. It, like "gentile", literally means "nation" (as in tribe or race, not really country).

British Tank

Used to describe a vehicle of some sort, usually an automobile, which has stalled out and/or won't run. Usually used in the form of a metaphor.
Hey, take a look at that Civic pulled over on the side of the road, with it's hood up and engine on fire! It's such a British tank!
