Icon5 Help me pick a car for 30 days use

As many of you know my accountants and legal advisors have made me clear up some IRS ‘tax oversights’ requiring me to look more like a commoner.

As such, which car should I buy for court?


1. 2002 Toyota Corolla

2. 1999 Buick Century

3. 1988 Dodge Magicwagon

4. 1989 Mazda 626

All have over 250k miles and might have been involved in a murder or lesser crime.


Please note the matter is being taken up in upstate New York so they’ll all be rusted and in poor shape but my lawyer says that’s not bad.


Thanks in advance.

Mazda 626 - always liked those back on the day. Surprised you didn’t go for a Falcon as you used to co-pilot one!

An import in upstate New York might be a concern but I do like that it’s got shoulder belts.

Buick Century no questions asked, things already survived the millennium, a century, has a trusty 3800 that won't let you down nor leave you stranded. Plenty of room for the Misses and her yoga instructor in the back and room for all the luggage in the trunk. Sure its not a Regal, so no chance of Joseph Aboud leather. But it would be a worthwhile trinket to send home as a momento of your time in the big apple. If you're feeling overzealous, retrofit a GS supercharger to her, put a smaller pulley on her and send it! Some of the late 90s cars were equipped with the HD transmission.might last the trip if so

Buick Century. A favorite well cared for hand-me-down car from grandparents to teenagers who abused them then sold them off cheap to gang bangers. Check any courthouse or DMV, the lots are full of them.

Just some kind of mom car. And hire a mom to drive you.

And make sure you climb into a wheelchair when you get out of the car.

And drool a lot.

I think we’ll go with the Buick. Good US iron and 4 on the tree transmission.

Back when weed had seeds. Whoever owned the car didn’t have a BK or McDonald’s tray to clean their weed.

My help who collected the car has already been pulled over twice for a blinker that was blinking too slowly and a door that fell off. Should be fine by next week.

Chevy Celebrity. The seats and upholstery in that beauty can hold A LOT of blood.
