Did you not watch Transporter 2?
Are you going to beat up several men then slide topless through sticky oil at a bus station, in a strangely disturbing and homoerotic scene?
Oh, wait. That was the first one.

I won't buy any car less than 10 years old now. I have nothing but disdain for moderns. All plastic and delicate. Especially bloody Audis. I hate those things. Old cars have issues but that's because they're old ie; metal rusts, rubber becomes perished and splits etc but moderns are crap because manufacturers seem to want it that way.

He's gas-concious. It's a good thing to be these days.

He has very high IQ and gets good education. He speaks Chinese, German and Spanish, and he's taking 5th grade math and English in school
Oh, when he talks about cars, he sounds like an automobile expert. If you tell him the name of a car, he can tell you the top speed, the 0-60, the type of engine, the number of cylinders, how it compares to the previous models and types, mpg and more, than a salesman can!

It's not our fault you don't know how to make roads!
The Prius gets about factory claims, perhaps a little more, here.

You're bragging about this? Or did I miss something/misread?

No, what you're missing is that we make
corners.

Something more impressive - he is the youngest person in the family to 'buy' a car. He ordered his dream car online, a mini cooper (at that time), when he was only 5! A real automobile with details of what type of engine he wanted!
My sister and my brother-in-law learned about the purchase when the dealer called to confirm the order and ask about the delivery preference. Both were shocked when they found out that it was my nephew who made the purchase order (using their info - addresses, phone numbers, payment type etc). If it wasn't because of the phone call, they would have got new car
My nephew was 'grounded' (from using the internet) for a month. He was at his best behavior that none of us have seen during that entire month. Kids, you just don't know what are they capable of sometimes

A new set of spark plugs and the
Old-Giffer Pursuit Special runs sweet! It's pretty slow though <_<
I introduced it to the Silvia;
