Sometimes I slam my gas pedal to the floor and watch my car never leave economy mode as it gently works its way up to 48 miles per hour, a perfect speed to go while on a Portland highway doing fifty.

In the right-most lane, of course. I got a speeding ticket with a more capable car once—never again.

Mitsubishi mirage for life. Can park that shit in a bathroom cubicle.

Those consistently rank high on "worst car ever" lists.

Sorry, I didn't mean that as an insult. Anyone who is capable of embracing a Mitsubishi Mirage is able to see what so many others cannot. Consider it high praise.

There was a videogame that featured a Yaris. It was trying to be Sonic, I think.

Edit: I forgot that you had a gun mounted to the hood.

If you think your car doesn't have enough health, take it to the mechanic. Maybe he can put it back at full hit points.
