you mean the '71 Ford LTD?

here is a gallery of a drop top in canary. :) that's the only yellow car i can find referenced in the series.

also, my dream car is one of these. i will never be close enough to see one in real life, let alone own it. sigh.

Not even close. Her car was an old thing with a rag top, rumble seat and tire on the side. It's kind of like a Stutz Bearcat but not quite.

I'm still hoping to one day find out exactly what it was but I just don't know.

I'm really quite pleased with my Mini Cooper. It's a fantastic little car, and just fun to drive! Even manages in the snow well enough.

I've been thinking of buying a used Cooper when I have to replace my Impala in a few years (I hope it's a few years). Are the maintenance costs and mileage pretty good? (In other words, can any mechanic work on it and get parts?)

i don't own one, but i've researched them heavily in an attempt to decide whether i'd own one. consider them like BMWs. depending on the year, they'll be riddled with the gremlins that plague overengineered German cars.

while under warranty, they're great, but i wouldn't keep one past that point.

I see that Chevy is renaming the Aveo to the "Sonic" as of this year ...
