I can't take credit for this, but think it is pretty funny.
Here is a check list of things to do - from Tinman on another car forum.
*check list*
-Give it a regular, thorough going over. -Touch up the exterior. -Rub it down nicely. -Have a quick tinker with the underside. -Clean out the tubes. -Make sure it's waxed regularly. -Is it easy to turn on? Does it need manual crank starting? Or bump starting? -Ensure your stick is firm and is not jamming. -Change the lubrication. -Check for leaks. -Check the rubber is not wearing thin. -Keep an eye out for bald patches. -Lift up the front and have a long hard look. -Check the rear end is clean and tidy. -Keep an eye on fuel consumption. -Check the condition of the big end. -Make sure the top can come down and look good on hot, summer days. -Make sure you'll not have to spend half your paycheck on accessories for it. -Are the bodywork and lines to your liking? Is the interior comfortable? -Ensure that it responds well to you when you're in the driving seat. -Make sure it's always clean inside. -Make sure that it will not require any extra/expert servicing. -Have any cracks been inexpertly filled in the past? -Check the mileage and for any previous lady owners. -And that no animals have ever been inside. -Check that it will not break down on you with no warning. -Make sure any unusual noises can be safely ignored. -Does it drive well in reverse? -Ensure you can tune the radio in to the football. -Ensure you have sole ownership. -If possible, test drive several times before commiting to ownership.
