Usually I am asked each month to supply our P.R. folks with some cool stuff for our monthly AutoTrader Classics email (mainly the articles). Well this month they chose a highly appropriate car for the "Car Of The Month".

Kinda cool, especially since I had nothing to do with it. Congrats Clown!

Thanks! It means so much more to me when GRM isn't involved! Interesting that Minissan is one of the most covered cars on the internet, published in the UK (magazines and a book), and in Australia, has won about $7,000 in trips/prizes yet has yet to make print in the US... hmmmm, it must be Obama!

Mike, it's the hair. Europeans and Australians dig the hair, the Federal Goverment is afraid the hair may cause rioting and strife in the middle classes so they have collectively banned Minissan in the US. I am rather proud of them, they finally agreed on something after all.

Yes, it's Obama's fault. (Okay, it's on the list--got a little behind on some feature cars.) We do love you, Mike.

I look forward to seeing my former gas cap in GRM.
