More News You'll Never Use

 Florida Lemons 
    Sans Lemonade
    Once again, I take great Gonzo pleasure in posting more startling (and highly relevant) stuff you'll never see in the pablum-filled pages of South Florida's daily newspapers.
  
For example...
  
Each year, the Florida Attorney General's Office compiles a Shit Parade of the crappiest new cars sold in the Sunshine State.
  
Or at least the new cars built so badly that their manufacturers were forced to buy them back from their outraged victim-owners.
  
However...
   
No way in hell will you ever see the data from this latest Vehicle Shit List published as “News You Can Use” in the Sun-Sentinel – or any other newspaper in the state.
   
That said, here you go:
