My mother bought the official car of the Dope.

2001 Lincoln Navigator.




Wait, it gets better...

She's a 50 year old Korean woman.

It's a big, unecessary SUV that gets terrible gas mileage. What more could a doper ask for?

13 MPG combined mileage. At least it's in the double-digits, eh? 14.30 tons of greenhouse gas emissions a year. What's unnecessary about that?

I don't get it. We Dopers are a worldwide diverse community. Why would a particular model of truck sold to just a few demographic groups in a few countries be the "Official" car of the SDMB? Was there a poll or memo I missed?

Yes - we held all official polls when you were out for a week.
