So it's 1997 and you've just graduated high school. Good for you. Your parents promised you that if you could pull of a least a 3.0 average and make $10k through various jobs, they'd split the difference and buy you a car. Now, being that they hate the Japanese and Germans for what they're parents went through in WW2, and because they just don't trust those shifty eyed Brits, it narrows down your choices to American made cars. But, let's face it. They know you're an idiot, and will likely throw it into a ditch as fast as humanly possible so they don't want anything expensive. If you're anything like your dad (which, let's face it, much to your chagrin, you totally are) they're not gonna hook you up with anything fast because they know your car motto happens to be "O - jail in a big fuckin' hurry!".
So, after much deliberation and infighting, you and the parental units come to an accord. You settle on a Normandy Cafe'. The most feminine named vehicle in human history. But worry not, my good man, because Normandy understands your plight.
Yes, the Cafe' is girly, but god dammit, it's fun, and it has more options than then item list of World of Warcraft.
