Woo-hoo! First, first, first. (Doing the I got on first dance). Now what was I going to say?

In Arizona 90% of the cars are pickups.
Just sayin'.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | January 21, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Alan picked that??! Awesome, but not nearly enough headroom
Posted by: ligirl | January 21, 2012 at 10:20 AM
snork @ligirl!
I also wonder about legroom, but I'm sure it'll be fun for someone to drive!
Of course, after the movie deal, Dave, I'm sure you could buy
a fleetat least one of them!!!Posted by: funny man | January 21, 2012 at 10:28 AM
why???? that looks AWESOME!!!!
Posted by: Beckster | January 21, 2012 at 10:31 AM
I'd like to see a picture of Dave and Alan getting in and out of the car.
Posted by: nursecindy | January 21, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Cindy, I think they have to detach their legs first.
Posted by: wanderer2575 | January 21, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Hey Dave, this could have been worse. If you drove the Weinermobile and Alan was driving that new LL Bean bootmobile and you two got into an accident, headline writers everywhere would all fall over at once at the potential.

I just finished Lunatics. Very fun read, surprisingly surprising even after I was part-way in and had an idea of its arc.
About half-way through, I thought I had figured out what was coming from Dave and what was coming from Alan, but shortly thereafter I gave up the author chase. Excellent!

linky no worky, steve (t24g)

Steve's link.

Dave, maybe Alan will rent a trailer for you to ride in back.
Posted by: padraig | January 21, 2012 at 11:35 AM
what was wrong, except for the lack of headroom, and where'd ya put yer luggage, esp that big suitcase.......
Posted by: queensbee | January 21, 2012 at 11:44 AM
It doesn't look much for comfort. Looks more like a race car.
Posted by: Theresa | January 21, 2012 at 11:46 AM
Walter would be perfect for it.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | January 21, 2012 at 11:57 AM
Thanks, nursecindy
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | January 21, 2012 at 12:16 PM
You're welcome Steve. It looks like Alan is looking for a cup holder for his coffee. Or possibly a can opener so he can get in the car.
Posted by: nursecindy | January 21, 2012 at 12:21 PM
snork @ cindy's "can opener."
Posted by: Guin | January 21, 2012 at 01:15 PM
Hot wheels... No, I mean it looks like one of Mattel's Hot Wheels.
Posted by: Clankie | January 21, 2012 at 01:44 PM
At least he didn't rent one of these...

YELLOW??? Seriously?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2012 at 01:51 PM
If I were traveling with Alan, he would ALWAYS be in charge of car rentals!
Posted by: Suzy Q (the original) | January 21, 2012 at 02:06 PM
Now you can pick up hot chicks! But they will have to be really tiny ones.
Posted by: HogsAteMySister | January 21, 2012 at 02:29 PM
Head room and leg room are not an issue in cars like this. The seating position is nearly horizontal.
I WANTS IT!
Posted by: pogo | January 21, 2012 at 03:03 PM
I WANTS IT TOO! My precious.
Posted by: Smeagol | January 21, 2012 at 03:07 PM
Orson Welles (Robin Masters) would not be able to get into that.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | January 21, 2012 at 03:23 PM
They'll really rent those to someone with a Florida license?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 21, 2012 at 03:30 PM
If you did pick up a "hot chick", how could you both get into the back seat, when there isn't one?
Posted by: PirateBoy | January 21, 2012 at 03:45 PM
Sorry I fergot how to do the foto dealie ... here's a link to use as a guide while drivin' that car and searchin' fer (small) ...

Is that really a car or an attempt to make it into the Guinness Book of World records for the largest Velveeta sculpture ever?
Posted by: Wolfsong | January 21, 2012 at 05:44 PM
maybe THIS is how dave really reacted when he saw the car...
(kinda looks like it, too!)
lol - click on video to play

PirateBoy, why would you want to climb in the backseat? If you did that you couldn't reach the pedals or the steering wheel. Sheesh, I'd hate to see your car insurance rates!
Posted by: nursecindy | January 21, 2012 at 07:11 PM
Phil Jackson could drive frum the back seat ... really ... old story frum college days ... those long arms ...
Oh ... PB is NOT PJ ... nevermind ...

Expense accounts must be nice
Posted by: Nmua | January 21, 2012 at 09:52 PM
When I win the lottery, I'm going to get a really hot convertible sports car.
I'll put the top down and let the wind blow across my scalp.
On the back will be a custom-made bumper sticker.
It will say, "Compensating".
Posted by: Steve | January 21, 2012 at 11:05 PM
Fer whut? If y'all win the lottery, y'all don't hasta compensate fer NUTHIN'!!! (Well, that's merely IMH-bc-O ... )
Posted by: O the Umanity | January 21, 2012 at 11:55 PM
Testosteronsa. It's Italian.

That's just yellow primer.

The reliant bit was one of my favorite top gear episodes!
