Cool Crazy Buy: Electric Delorean!

Tesla? They're a dime a dozen, and are basically celebrity moonbatmobiles. Instead, be the only one to be seen cruising around in this!

The bidding, as of posting time, is now at $30,200. You can skip the bidding and buy it immediately for a hundred grand if you've got it. See this back-to-the-future, uniquely-cool ride
at e-Bay here.

Coupes are cool again; seems all automakers now have to offer one. I never understood how trucks became the cool thing- trucks are boxy, handle like crap, and guzzle now-expensive dead dinosaurs. Not to mention they're so big and bloody awkward to park!

Coupes can be really easy on the gas, look damn cool and be fun to drive, on the other hand. If you need a truck, then buy an old, reliable, basic-workhorse backroads bruiser and drive only when needed. Most of the time, however, c'mon(!), a coupe is the thing to be seen in!

After all, who can forget the '77 Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit? Who can forget Starsky & Hutch's ride? Who can forget the Dukes of Hazzard's orange Charger, the General Lee? Who can forget the black Trans Am in Knight Rider? And don't you remember the chase scenes in Steve McQueen's Bullitt, with the Mustang and Charger? The list is endless... next to add- the newest Camaro in an upcoming TV series this fall, by the way...

Oh, and how about them station wagons? Cool? Why not? They can be! I mean, they've got all that room back there... put the back seat down, put in a mattress and go to Makeout Point... get the drift? I mean, the back seat of a sedan or coupe, how cramped and awkward was that?

Ok now... gotta get ready to mark my "X" beside the Conservative candidate's name... it's an advance polling day today, and it makes sense to vote early, as election day is the day after Thanksgiving Monday, and, with all that boozing you'll have done, chances are you'll somehow forget to vote, probably sleeping off your festive bender... you can vote today and Monday. Just check the card you got in the mail or check Elections Canada's website for details.

And, yes, I drive a coupe. See?
