This SO reader put a lot of work into this, and I think her comments are halarious so I am putting this list in it's own post. I hope this anonymous person doesn't mind. I'm not sure why but this comment didn't show up on the comments section where they posted it, but I think it deserves it's own post anyway! Here they are...get ready to giggle:
"ONE FOR THE MONEY
Mazda Miata - Repossessed by Lenny Gruber.
Chevy Nova - Left for dead, which is OK since it had already been vandalized and had no muffler, tailpipe or radio.
Joe's Cherokee - According to the morning paper, "unexplained explosion".
TWO FOR THE DOUGH
Jeep Wrangler - Stolen in front of The House of Eternal Slumber.
THREE TO GET DEADLY
Baby Nissan Pickup - Bad carburetor since day one. High school kids called it a "fartmobile". Finally met it's maker in the form a of a rocket launcher. Blown to pieces. R.I.P. baby pickup.
FOUR TO SCORE
CRX - Soaked in gasoline and ignited by a discarded cigarette butt from Mrs. Nowicki.
Lula's Firebird - Blown up with the CRX. That's what you get for parking next to Stephanie.
HIGH FIVE
Porsche Boxter - Sideswiped by a garbage truck and later exploded into flames.
Garbage Truck - Parked next to Boxter. Blew up and then fell on what remained of the Boxter.
BMW - Stolen, but thief was kind enough to leave the plates and registration number.
HOT SIX
Honda Civic - Fire started from wacky tobacky use by Mooner and Reefer.
Rollswagon - A few dents, but mostly too embarrassing for even Stephanie to drive.
Mitchell and Habib's Lincoln - Not really Stephanie's fault. Car was trashed by Morris Munson driving like a maniac in his Crown Victoria.
Carpet Car - Caught on fire from flaming dog poop in a bag.
SEVEN UP
Honda CRV - Crumpled up like an accordion by DeChooch in a Cadillac.
HARD EIGHT
Honda CRV - Fire bombed by a rabbit.
Honda CRV - Same rabbit doused the CRV in starter fluid and lit a match to it.
Ranger's Truck - Went up in flames from a package tossed into the bed. Probably the same rotten rabbit.
VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS
Honda CRV- Ignited by an incredibly dry Christmas tree and consumed in the fire.
TEN BIG ONES
Ford Escape - Made it through To the Nines, only to be fire bombed by Red Devil Robber at the beginning of Ten Big Ones.
$200 Lincoln Town Car - Sprayed with graffiti and shot to bits by The Slayers.
ELEVEN ON TOP
Stephanie's Saturn SL - Car bomb set off when Mama Macaroni turned the ignition.
Joe's SUV (make unmentioned) - Blew up with his garage.
TWELVE SHARP
No cars were destroyed in Twelve Sharp. Instead she went through some men.
Joe Morelli - Got beat up rescuing Stephanie and Lula from a bar brawl.
Tank - Took one to the "the boys" while trying to help apprehend the old lady who works at the Pleasure Treasure.
Ranger - Took a few bullets to the chest (was wearing a vest) while playing decoy to capture Scrog.
PLUM LOVIN'
Diesel's (possibly hot) Corvette- Smashed through a hedge and into a topiary column. It was driveable afterward, but would never be the same.
BETWEEN TWELVE SHARP AND LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN
Mini Cooper - Traded it with her sister Valerie for an Escape, because it was too hard to get the bad guys in the back of the Cooper.
Ford Escape - Tree fell on it.
LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN
Crown Vic - After having the back window blown out and a squirrel explode all over the inside, it is left for dead on the side of the road.
PLUM LUCKY
Monte Carlo (with no reverse) - Destroyed by Lula with a rocket launcher.
FEARLESS FOURTEEN
Maroon Econoline Van- Not really Stephanie's, but caught her bad car juju anyway. Struck by a russet potato and exploded, as predicted by Gary-the-Stalker.
PLUM SPOOKY
Jeep Wranger- Defiled by an infestation of raccoons in the Pine Barrens.
Rangeman SUV- Exploded by a rocket.
someone needs to count fifteen and sixteen"
These are so great, right? Thanks for putting all that work into finding out how many cars were destroyed. I got a big kick out of this!!
I am rolling reading these!!! LOLLLL
ReplyDeleteI can't believe someone counted!!
Thanks for answering my question!!
And--I know it wasn't destroyed--but I think they wanted to destroy it--
Mitchell and Habib's car when they kidnapped Bob after he had eaten everything in Stephanie's cabinets in Hot Six!
Iheartjason
Yes...that definitely needs to be added to the list. Love Bob!!! hahaha
ReplyDeleteIt was driving me crazy about what happened to the mini cooper how did you know that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this list. I am plowing through the plum series and had a bit of confusion as to how she went from a Mini back to an Escape between reading 'Twelve Sharp' and 'Plum Lovin'.
ReplyDeleteSorry to se that the interest in listing lapsed. i hope that isn't indicative of the series because I am LOVING' Steph, Ranger, Joe, Grandma, Lula and all of the other characters in this series
Where does stephanie buy her cars?
ReplyDeleteI just love this post. I laugh a lot. I love Stephanie, sadly i'm italian and here only 8 books have been translated and published (i read the others in english, but for example my mother - who loves Steph too - can't read it, cause she can't speak english).
ReplyDeleteAnd i don't know why i'm just babbling like an idiot about italian's publishing, i'm gonna shut up and just say again: thanks. :)
Maybe some of the similar authors are in Italian? Like Lois greiman, Marianne Delacourt, Shelly Fredman... Or maybe the audiobooks are in Italian?
DeleteFunny how many people wonder this about Stephanie Plum. Thanks for answering in so much detail
