Could be worse, I guess; the Index finger could be folded down as well, and then the meaning would REALLY change. Flippin' birdies, anyone?

Re: what type of car do you own
My car is so old I don't know what to call it. I don't even think the manufacturer exists anymore.

Re: what type of car do you own
I own a 2000 Grand Prix GT

Looks sorta like this but different color, no bug shield on the front and different rims. In fact I just replaced the tires two days ago, and a headlight last week
