Ben -- that was freakin' hilarious! Red Green is such an inspiration
Fixes anything with duct tape.
That "Aries Driver" vid -- also funny. I remember seeing it too, a while back. At the time I had to watch it 10 times it was so funny (way before YouTube).
The K-Car -- what a ride. A German exchange teacher/student friend at college bought one that was well taken care-of. In the course of the year, it blew a head gasket and was later worth considerably less at the wrecking yard. 'Reliant' my arse. Back when 100,000 miles was the give-up point.
It's rumored for having saved Chrysler from Bankruptcy -- and the Government bought a load of them to help bail them out. I recall one reminiscing of one, "We bailed Chrysler out, and this is the thanks we get?"
I guess some of them worked out for buyers. Definitely smaller and more efficient than predecessors.
