Weekend Head Scratcher: A Total Pig?
Over the past few weeks, I was surprised by the responses to my “Weekend Head Scratchers” (WHS). It seemed that you lot liked them, a lot. This is why I kept writing them. Throughout the week, I’d be sitting at my desk or asking myself for ideas, trying to get inspiration for the next WHS. I felt like a priest trying to tie something in the news to his next sermon. Then, I did something bad. I jumped the shark. Last week, I created a game for the week WHS, where we played “ Fantasy Car Maker” whereby you had to create your own car company by buying car brands from around the world and justify why you bought them. It flopped, big time. I bet you don’t even remember seeing it. But that’s what happens when you believe your own bullsh*t! Well, for this week, I’m going back to basics and keeping it simple.
For this week’s WHS, I’m taking inspiration from a previous WHS. Namely, the “ most complete car” question (back when it was known as “Question of the Day”). In that article, I asked that taking into account fuel economy, driving dynamics, price, reliability, quality, practicality, dealership service and repair cost; which car does it all the best? Well for the week, the question is very simple:
Taking into account the same criteria (fuel economy, driving dynamics, price, reliability, quality, practicality, dealership service and repair cost) which car was the worst at all of them?
In short, what is the most incomplete car you can think of? Right, off you go…

I"ll make my call a car a see rotting away in my neighborhood all the time. A Maserati Biturbo Spyder.It was overpriced W/ horrible resale value .Unreliable, impractical, And even finding a dealer to pay for its high cost parts would have been a challenge from day one. And for its exotic price it still looked average @ best. http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1658545_1658533_1658531,00.html
Now that Panther Masterbation Week is over, am I allowed to mention the Marquis?
VW Phaeton? Ideally the V12 version. I guess we'll have to see if Baruth shows up to verify.
Range Rover's, especially supercharged 'sporty versions'. Supposedly offroad capable, but abysmal reliability and ultra low profile tires that would deter all but the stupid from really going offroad. Spend most of their lives shuttling Conner and Caitland to private school and off to some frou-frou coffee shop. Followed closely by the Porsche Cayenne especially the turbo. Does a douchebag attorney need an SUV with over 400hp? Can he navigate properly when jabbering into his cell phone?
