I like this blog also.. whilst they like the the French Tercel drivers. It's good to see another blog that has a little respect for the old Tercel wagoneers. + they're piss funny at times.

Thats not cool...
Not only did they junk that little girls car, they junked what appeared to be a car in great shape! Thrown rod isn't good enough reason to junk a Terc....

As in life, there are those who do not look beyond the surface....

This little girl will probably be affected by this for years, only to pay out big bucks to a therapist in the future, for an explanation of her fear of abandonment.
Wonder if her Mother told her "she knows a family who has a farm where the Tercel can live out its life in peace in a nice pasture, chasing butterflies and sipping Seafoam?"
Or was that Phideaux's fate?
