That just begs to be used as a negative headline into how rough the vehicle rides.<br />2. the Charade. Why would they name a car after something that represents falseness? <br /> As in “I sold you this lemon of a car using a clever Charade”.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636906445332793773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-5413933168158195762009-11-27T12:50:05.433-05:002009-11-27T12:50:05.433-05:00I started to post a comment, but it got WAY too lo...I started to post a comment, but it got WAY too long, so I made a blog post about it instead:<br /><br />http://www.gadgetspage.com/cars/the-dodge-diplomat-was-a-very-cool-car.html<br /><br />Sorry, Go Retro, the Dodge Diplomat DID make me feel like royalty.
