Maybe the time is right to trade-in your Chrysler Cordoba and move into something a little less masculine

In these tough times it's good to take a moment and enjoy a laugh, and maybe you'll find one on another website. Here are my Top 10 reasons why you shouldn't let the Obama administration twist your arm, get you caught up in the Cash for Clunker (CARS) frenzy and force you to part with that old clunker you love so much:

10. Your dangling pine tree air freshener still has plenty of life left in it

9.You have nowhere else to play  8-track tapes

8. You just had the DMV change the registration so the color listed is “rust”

7. Just where are you going to buy a new set of curb feelers?

6. It's the last thing left from high school that still fits you

5. You'll miss the feel of rich Corinthian leather

4. It was a long walk to go back and pick up that hubcap

3. FM? What's FM?

2. There are still perfectly good M&Ms under the front seat

1. Two words: vinyl top
