Hah! The company I work for now was the first and only colorado dealer and distributor for Sparrows. Apparently the first two sold caught on fire and the business relationship went downhill from there. Interesting to see that it's been revived. From what my boss says it was really neat and could have been great for a niche market, especially here in the Denver/Boulder area where there are tons of people willing to look silly to save the earth. Interestingly the company I work for isn't related in any way to the automotive industry, except that the people who run it are gearheads and also interested in green technology. Our current product is the most green of its kind on the market and more successful every year. LloydDobler fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Oct 29, 2012 |

Saw this wonderful monstrosity a little over a week ago. No less than seven American flags on it, because you know, America.     Why they didn't just buy a car, I have no idea.

So it's not quite as bad as ruining an entire van but I have to wonder quite why you'd want to have the newborn from the godawful Alien Resurrection film (admittedly pretty well) airbrushed onto your van... ...also what is the thing on the back and which do you think came first??

This seems like the appropriate thread for this rant. I'm in my grace period for renewing my plates, because I'm lazy like that, and of course I go to renew online last night, and because my car is a diesel, I HAVE TO GO TO THE loving DMV. Welp, so much for getting anything accomplished after work. Last year when I bought my car and registered it took almost 4 hours sitting in that shithole. /rant.

Move to Michigan, have no inspections, and come to the Secretary of State office for your DMV needs in half the time.

Grainbarn posted:Do they not have nation-wide DMV appointments? Nope. It's different everywhere. In PA it's handled by private companies. That makes it nice and easy when you're friends with used car dealers who can do it for you (especially when they do it in trade for helping them with their oddball wrecks that you happens to be the guy that knows how to work on them).

In Mass they're run by the state, hopelessly understaffed, and run entirely by stereotypical bureaucrats who hate their customers and live to push paper. I went in to register a vehicle that the seller had accidentally checked the odometer rollover box on the title (6 digit odo, reading 138k) and the idiot I dealt with insisted that an odometer reading 138k that rolled over meant an actual mileage of 238k. Yup. I ended up giving up in frustration and letting them make my $3k valued crapcan a $2500 valued crapcan by adding 100k to the odometer, because it was less hassle than the pair of forms they gleefully pushed at me requiring the previous owner's signature (100 miles away) and I needed it registered by the next day.

Way back in the days when I was into mini trucks, all the west coast guys would do something along the lines of this paint job. I hated it then and it doesn't look any better now.

It combines the worst of cars and motorcycles. On test ride day, most of the guys checking it out were in the aforementioned grossly obese category. Even one of those guys cancelled his pre-order after the test ride. I saw the exact moment when one man's dreams were broken, it was very sad.

Those seem to have even fatter fucks on them.
