I'm very fond of the short-lived Solstice GXP Coupe, especially equipped with the upgraded 2-liter, 290-horsepower engine. They are sweet, rare things.

It wins at practicality, and sunroof.

The Flex has fantastic seating. Even the third row is comfortable for adults - the best I've ever been in. I don't like the character lines in the side doors, but otherwise it's styling, inside and out, is nicely aggressive to my eyes.

I know post-WWII Brits were fairly thin, but this thing would need a substantially larger payload than 500 pounds to carry four soldiers and their gear. Still, it's a cool design.

Completely agree with the brilliance of Pushing Daisies and Terminator. Let me also put my vote in for the silly genius of Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Most of the passengers on the Hindenburg survived the accident. Not sure what the survivability was for airplanes of the day, but I severely doubt many people walked away from crashes.

If I remember correctly, The Peacekeeper Wars was supposed to be 6-hours long, but what aired was cut to 4 hours. That might explain why its pacing was a bit off.

Useful video. My friends and I had to break the side window on a rental car once, after one of them locked the keys inside. It was a holiday weekend in the mid-90s, before any of us had cell phones, and we were camping in the boonies. We used a large rock, and it took a lot of effort - like two solid minutes of…

THAT is a lovely dashboard.

The Wagonaire and both Suzukis on this list are awesome. The Lexus is pretty cool too, actually. I've recommended friends with small families look into lightly-used Kizashis. They are perfectly sized for four, decent on gas and supposedly handle very well for their class.

Legend of the Overfiend kind of defined "going too far".

The PT is a lot of car for the money. I'd put my turbocharged GT convertible against any in its price class (specifically the Volkswagen Beetle, turbo or otherwise) but custom drop tops scare me.

I'm impressed a car as beautiful, rare, and practical, as that 164 sold for less than $5,000. Depreciation is a splendid thing.

An enormous interior, decent build quality and better style than the more common Volvo wagons of the time. Great car!

I realize this article is a trolling exercise, but I'll take the bait. The PT Cruiser is awesome - it's practical, immensely roomy for it's 14-foot length, and reliable. GT versions gets to 60 in 7 seconds, which is quick for their time and price. My convertible GT has been perfectly reliable and I haven't noticed…

The "openometer" gauge Mini puts on its convertibles should be at the pinnacle of any useless list.

I read on Tetrapod Zoology that golden eagles have killed 100 kilo (220-pound) domestic calves by driving their talons into the base of the skull. A deer this size would not be a normal prey item, but it's definitely an occasional menu item.

And the fastest version (the R3) set 29 records at Bonneville. Four-passenger cars that hit 169 mph were sort of rare back then:

The original Scion xB is only 13 feet long and 5 and-a-half-feet wide but is enormous inside and has a nearly-flat floor. The Saab 9000 from the 1990s was a smidge over 15 feet long (about the length of a Jetta), but was classified as a large car by the EPA due to it's Town Car-like interior.

The Fiero GT was a solid performer, but it made with plastic body panels, not fiberglass.
