I want it, I want it, I want it!

I have looked. I have researched. I am driven. So to speak.
I scour my favorite car blogs like jalopnik.com and I read insider sites like autospies.com and regularly peruse all the mainstream online car mags from roadandtrack.com to motortrend.com to caranddriver.com to autoweek.com and I even read obscure ultra-car fanatic sites like autoextremist.com, and I have only come to one unerring and irrevocable conclusion: new cars suck.
I am in the market. I have pored over pics of the new models coming out from almost every European automaker and have appropriately salivated over sexy small overpriced ridiculously impractical German cars costing more than double my new-car operating budget.
And I have realized that, even if I could afford one (a Mercedes SLK, say), I'd probably be too stressed about dings and key scratches and bird crap (I park on the street -- this is San Francisco, pal) and the ability to go to Costco to buy a case of wine and 15 pounds of asparagus and fit it into the 13 inches of usable trunk space that I probably wouldn't be able to use it as all-around City car. Plus, no back seat for sex or dog or passengers. That's an issue.

It's Morford, OK? Read it or not, it's your choice.
He wants the stick shift in the center of the driver's seat option!
Morford . . . doesn't he drive a PT Cruiser?
I woulda thougt he was too stupid to drive
Morford should be able to pick up a fine Trabant for a song.
Wow, a discussion about the consumer market actually induced it to lapse out of complete psychosis for a sentence or two.

He finally admits it about two thirds of the way into his blathering.
"Plus, no back seat for sex or dog or passengers."
Pity the dog who has this whack-job as a master.
Has he checked out the new Weinermobile?
You can bet on it.
And a wide, comfy trunk.
