Um... I am younger than ALL of these cars. Have you considered upgrading to a car that was made sometime this decade?

I say car, but really... I am living the American dream and currently own three of them! And, wonder of wonders, some of them even work! (By some, I mean that I can drive one of them right now...)

So... the question is, are you older than one of Snoink's cars?

For the purpose of this question, assume that all cars have a birthday of January 1!

Um, I'm younger than all of them by five months. >.>

I feel your pain though - my dad had this super old car that he had had since like before my parents were married, and we only got rid of it once it had pretty much completely stopped working, after many headaches beforehand.

If I was three years older (and could do math), I'd beat the Buick.

There are six resident cars at my place, but only four of them work. But, yay, I'm older than the Neon! *feels so very, very young and tiny*

Oh man. These cars oooooold. xD I'm older than Neon but younger than the other two. :D When I first read this, I thought '2000 Neon' as '2000 bulbs', so I wasn't sure what time was that. ;-; I remembered you said, 'three cars', and things started to click right then. xD Oh my, my poor knowledge. ;-;

Well! Technically, that car is a Plymouth car. But, apparently, the Plymouth car brand doesn't exist anymore and Dodge bought the Neon model and made it its own. So, it's a little confusing! I figured (perhaps wrongly!) that the Neon would be a little less confusing than Plymouth, because Dodge still produces Neons. ;)

I'm not older than your oldest car, but my car is (and it still drives beautifully)!

Ahhhhhh. I remember my Plymouth Neon. We called it the Jellybean because of the color. So long, old pal.

I'm the same age as my sister's car, which is cool I guess.

Also the Neon is younger than me by three years

Huh, even if the cars' birthdays weren't January 1st, I'd still be younger than all of them. XD
