#1 Wait ... wait ... let me guess!

This guy was so "humiliated" that anyone else would dare to own a car nicer than his wife's that he was compelled by religious fervor to destroy both vehicles.

Tell me I'm wrong!

#2 Shame and honor, Zen, shame and honor.

We need to start prosecuting these loonies harshly. This kind of thing is simply not acceptable.

#3 By the time this guy did this, he should have acclimatised to a new culture, not burning cars. The fact that he claims Allan made him do it null and voids the case. And what about his Albanian-Kosovan wife, maybe he couldn't take any more, and her name was Allanah. Deport the lot.

#4 If I claim that I killed a man because an alien mothership had me under the power of a mind-control ray, that would not be admissible in court. The judge wouldn't be able to stop laughing long enough to sentence me.

How is that different from "being told to by Allah"? As I said, this is not acceptable.

#5 as they once said in Road & Track, "There are somethings that in another car would be absolutely unacceptable, but then allowances do have to be made. After all it is a Ferrari."

#7 Barbara, you drive a CRV?? I feel your pain....

#8 Hey, Rafael - I love my CRV. It's a great car.

At least until I can afford a Hummer. :-p

#9 It's a great car.

Yes, I suppose. But I still think the driver's side door shouldn't rattle at highway speeds.

They say you shouldn't buy a car made on a Friday or on a Monday. My CRV was started on a Friday, and finished on a Monday.

#10 My CRV was started on a Friday, and finished on a Monday.

Well, at least the poor thing had an entire weekend to recover from the first set of wounds inflicted upon it.

#11 Rafael - I think it's just your car, not CRVs in general. Nothing in mine rattles at highway speeds (unless I brake suddenly and the 3-foot iron prybar in the back shifts).

You were probably joking about the day of the week a car is made, but in case you weren't, how would one know what day a car was made on?

#12 Yes it was a joke. Cars that are in the shipping phase should have a 'date of production' sticker on them somewhere. But upon arrival to the dealership these things get discarded. I guess it is possible to find out, at the risk of annoying the dealer :)
