    A true GRM'er?

    http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/cto/1438414159.html

    some highlights:

    "no gas gauge (I use the trip odometer, like all manly men do)"

    "some might say--though I am not among them--that this car could use a paint job"

    "D.C. claims this car has a loose bumper, I claim it has a plastic bumper that flexed when they pressed on it (D.C. also claimed this car had a rusty quarter panel... one problem... they're plastic)"

    "interior smells like the 80s, in both a figurative and a literal sense"

    "battery bay rusted out, I jerry-rigged an arrangement with bungee cords"

    "no trunk lock... this car includes a Trunk Popper, a.k.a., long screwdriver"

    Is "Pimp Gold" the GM name for that color? I just started laughing at that and never got any further.

    Hey, I had a GT in that colour when I met my wife. She loved the car. Then again she did mary ME so her taste is questionable.

    If he means Geo Metro, then he has to be a GRM'er!

    If he loves the DC metro system, he's a sorry chap.

    Because our subway/bus system sucks the big one....

    I doubt it, because I had a 1989 Pontiac 6000 (LE!) in that exact color, and I promise there was exactly 0% pimp in that car.

    (It was high school, and my friends called it "glirt - an amazing mix of gold and dirt")
