It's from the O'Reilly Auto Parts website.

Headlights look like a Ford Ka. Great little cars, pity about that one.

Yep, it matches.

Considering it crashed into a wall, must be one of the GM recall cars.

Everyone that I know (In Brazil anyway) says they're just horrible.

Funny enough, I've got a brake job pending with O'Reilly parts right now. Except that it's *not* pending, because the rotors haven't gotten in yet. O'REILLY IS THAT GUY.

Really? British press usually reported that they were great fun to drive. Small, light and no power steering.

I've got this awful pattern of not taking real lunches and only getting off work after the local NAPA is closed. Not so the O'Reilly, and despite most of the crew there being young, at least half of them are above Gump IQ, and the boss-man used to run a machine shop. Also, the completely amazing parts counter guy formerly at NAPA is now at Valley Truck, and the store is under new management, so it's still a bit more schizoid than I like. They went through and shifted stock of items to what sells in another part of the state rather than established trade, too. Because durr.

I rather like them. They did generally have power steering, though.

they rot like nobody's business, Honestly I've never seen anything like it. also, the engines up to 2002 were derived from the old Kent engine dating back to 1959. the interior was also awful and equipment levels were poor. I hear they handled well though.

Yup, Ford Ka. I'm quite fond of the 'SportKA' warm hatch:

The O'Rooney's does have good hours, but I never use their brake stuff if I can avoid it. Double for starters and alternators.
