Geister Fahrer

Translates from German into "Ghost Driver;" a driver who drives on the wrong direction on an autobahn, often with headlights turned off at night. Usually a drunk driver but can also be a thrill seeker, suicide attempt, or horrendous driver error.
My travel agent warned me about Geister Fahrers before I rented a car.

My travel agent gave me this cautionary lecture on ghost drivers in europe. Does that really happen?
A Japanese car company that covers the "really cheap" bottom end of the market. Their cars are usually quirky and whimsical, especially their concepts. Pretty much unknown in US.

The only company to ever produce a Hello Kitty car.
Honest to god, Daihatsu has so far put out hello kitty editions of their Mira and Move. Seriously.

Dull but reliable Japanese Buicks.
Here's a fun game. Drive a silver Toyota Corolla or Camry to a shopping mall, and have a friend move it to a different parking spot. Then try finding it.

Mabye ricers who trick out their family toyotas are on to something. You need altezza style taillights and huge wings just to tell the damned things apart!

corolla dent

75% of late model Toyota Corollas(many Camrys too) have a huge superficial dent in the rear bumper, consistent with backing into a post.

Although such dents are common among cars with new drivers(who often drive corollas), it might as well be a factory option.
Thank goodness I already have a Corolla Dent! Now I won't feel so bad when I bang up my car for the first time.
A car preferred by middle aged women when they have their own mid-life crisis of sorts.

It handles pretty well too.
My mom got sick of the toyota and got a Miata because she wanted something cute and sporty.
Miata by gooberliberation March 18, 2006
A rather brutal and secretive group of prison gangs in South Africa. Number gangs have numbers instead of names, and typically have millitary-style hierarchy, extensive tattoos, strict internal laws, and require violence against prison staff for initiation. The 28 Gang also has a system for distributing sex between new recruits and established members. Recently featured on a BBC documentary.
Numbers gangs include the 26s, 27s, 28s, etc...
