Learning that the train’s damage was mostly from vandalism and not from sitting was the saddest part. Images as recent as 2019 show it to be in mostly complete condition. Apparently, it gained some unfortunate popularity after people on social media posted its coordinates.

This. This is what makes this site awesome to visit.

I think their corporate motto “From hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.” didn’t help keep them in business.

Oh, dear god, a Scimitar in 70s chocolate brown. Hnnnnng....

That’s poetry, well done sir/madam/other.

Excellent deployment of that GIF

Looks like Frogger just finished watching X-Men Last Stand, drank a Four Loco, and went full “I’m the Juggernaut, Bitch!”

This is just it - Renault had the right basic idea, but based it on the wrong version of family car. The generation that grew up in Explorers and Grand Cherokees and such hasn’t rejected those, but have welcomed the sleeker, coupe version of *their* parents’ cars.

The Avantime is one those great cars that deserved better but nobody understood. It shares this honor with cars like the Audi A2, the Toyota iQ or the Chrysler Airflow.

The last car produced by Matra :(

But you are wrong though.

Counterpoint: Aston Martin DB4 Zagato

As is the BMW

Afla Romeo Giulia. Its a reliable car in a brand that everyone things is highly unreliable. Super sexy, sleek and enticing. Depreciates like a mofo so you just buy one that is 1-2 years old and you have a fantastic car on the cheap. (I was going to get one if they came in stick)

I’ll go with Volvo V90. Sure, it is cross country only but that doesn’t bother me at all. I love the car; its handsome, drives well, and has tons of cargo space. I want to go electric for my next car this makes that choice challenging

The Chevy Spark.

Fiat 500. They’re still well-stocked, they’re a damn little fun car to drive and a sensible one to boot.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume you know about this, but in the off chance you don’t, there’s rumours that the Dodge Caravan came to be as an indirect result of the very early stages of evolution of what would become the Espace. Matra was part of Chrysler Europe in that weird amalgamation of brands that was…

I would drive the hell out of that. 

I think a case could also be made for the Pacer. (My first car!) Besides the general rounded design, which would have looked unremarkable 15 years or so later, it really had some thought put into usability. Great visibility from those windows, and ease of access with the longer passenger-side door, etc. I also remember…
