Nissan Altima Owners Can’t Get Any Respect: COTD

Some cars can’t avoid the stereotypes that follow them. You know the ones. Big trucks are supposedly driven by people who are compensating for something. Corvettes are supposedly driven by old guys. Oh, and Nissan Altima owners are most likely to be seen doing 100 mph on a donut spare. Poor Altima owners!

Thomas wrote about how the Nissan Altima isn’t quite dead yet. Nlpnt:

Before the demise of the Chevy Malibu I summed up the choice between it and the Altima as “Do you want to look like a state employee on official business, or like you get surprise visits from one?”

If there’s an Altima and a Malibu parked in front of the same place, someone’s peeing in a cup while someone else watches.

Data:

MORTICIAN: Bring out your dead!
NISSAN: Here’s one — nine pence.
ALTIMA: I’m not dead!
MORTICIAN: What?
NISSAN: Nothing — here’s your nine pence.
ALTIMA: I’m not dead!
MORTICIAN: Here — he says he’s not dead!
NISSAN: Yes, he is.
ALTIMA: I’m not!
MORTICIAN: He isn’t.
NISSAN: Well, he will be soon, he’s very ill.
ALTIMA: I’m getting better!
NISSAN: No, you’re not — you’ll be stone dead in a moment.
MORTICIAN: Oh, I can’t take him like that — it’s against regulations.
ALTIMA: I don’t want to go in the cart!
NISSAN: Oh, don’t be such a baby.
MORTICIAN: I can’t take him…
ALTIMA: I feel fine!
NISSAN: Oh, do us a favor…

Nsane In The MembraNe:

The Altima shall ride eternal, shiny and chrome…with bumpers held on by duct tape, a headlight out, and temporary tags that expired 2 years ago as it terrorizes the roads of hell.

Matt wrote a Morning Dump about how Lucid lost half of its value in a couple of hours, possibly because of a blog. Drew:

Whom do you trust on the Internet?

Only people I know. If I read that there was a car accident, I didn’t drive past it, I don’t trust it. When Aunt Sally emails me telling me she needs $500 in iTunes gift cards to get out of prison, I send the gift cards immediately.

Have a great evening, everyone!
