In today's newspaper there was an article about Nissan partnering with Renault and an Indian motocycle company (Bajaj) to produce a no-frills economy car for about $3,000!

I wonder if it will fall apart as soon as you hit the first bump or if it rains on it?

Yeah....I heard the Indian auto makers have been tinkering with a waterbased weld flux that's been having some issues......that would be impressive....apparently they've perfected the mfging process for airbags...remember when it cost $1000 for each one.......if that were still the case....$1000 bucks for the rest of the car. Sounds Yugo-Tastic!

OH NOOOOO they bought the rights to the Vega, Pinto, Chevette and the Yugo[:'(]

DSkippy

Didn't the Pinto have a V8 option?

purnrg

yes it did but it was a buyer installed option. LOL

awsure

I think they make em out of clay & call them the Adobe. If you get in a fender bender you just get out and re-sculpt the bumper by hand. [8D]

Don't forget if you are in a fender bender rear ender in a PINTO they follow a recyling program where they automatically burn up.LOL

DSkippy

Yes the Adobe....but don't wear your tennis whites in them.......classic....

This car will self destruct after impact Mr. Phelps.

awsure

Years ago when I was in the rental car business we would mess with the customers that would not upgrade from the subcompact Geo Metro (or similar[8D]). We offered them a "mini-waver" CDW/LDW for $3-4 per day that covered up to $500 worth of damage and said (with straight face) in the case of these cars that covers the entire value...[:-]

You'd be surprised how many people missed the joke and just nodded in agreement.
