More echidnas, bloke genes

Called to a local used car yard to rescue and relocate an adult echidna. In their showroom was a car that made all my bloke genes go POING! It was an '87 model Chrysler Camaro. A red one, too. 5.7 litre V8. Argh argh argh. $25,000.


POING! "Buy it!" went the genes. "BUY IT NOW!"

"NOW!"

"NOW!"

"NOW!"

"Save me!" whimpered my wallet.

It is in my nature to protect the weak and fragile. I saved the wallet, and will keep my saki-burner.

$25k (US$15k) is about average for a second hand car in excellent condition here. You can get cheaper ones, of course. I saw a little Daewoo for $5k.

Caaaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaaroooooooooooooo!

Yow. That seems a little much. My Hyundai was less than that (US $13k) when I bought it last year.

Of course it isn't a Camaro, but then again, it's not 16 years old and has a warranty ;)
