Boobs are an important frontier and a popular one too. The scientific method demands examination.

The proposed swap to Meatspin magazine was universally unpopular, what can I say.

Surely the author of "I Hold Your Hand in Mine", "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", et al would be more shocking in something actually politically correct.

By George, I think you're right.

James May: the tragic(ally hilarious) result of giving a cottaging gentleman eccentric a public forum. Normally I think people going quietly crazy in rural areas don't get positive reinforcement.

The hell of it is, in any place that has up to moderate traffic levels and decent crime rate, you could commute daily with it. Take the steering wheel with you: if you think manuals deter car thieves, how about a manual with no wheel and a starter button? Heavy enough, just barely, that 4 guys are unlikely to grab it…

It might be a motorcycle and not a car, depending on state statute. My counter is that it has a steering wheel, pedals, and a six-speed, so close enough.

Nobody said the Mog 3-wheeler? Nobody?

Well, yes, but much the same effect could be achieved by ribbing or strategic bracing/thickening. Or at the very least turning the corrugation to the inside. At some point, someone in the design process decided corrugated sides would be badass, and I'm not sure I disagree.

The Panhard Dyna Z. Aluminum (later steel) unibody, FWD, air-cooled boxer 2, four-on-the-tree manual, suicide doors, transverse leaf front suspension (top and bottom, think of them where you'd expect control arms) with torsion bar with trailing link rear. Herringbone gears in the transmission, too. Optional magnetic…

Well, sure we know it's crazy *now*: The 1894 De Dion-Bouton steam tractor. Two-cylinder steam drive, the first De Dion axle as we know it, and a buggy trailer for passengers. It needed a stoker for the boiler.

Citroen Mehari.

I'm pretty sure there's a mandate for cars in China to have a wacky name on at least some grounds. How else are they going to compete with the domestics? If the Chinese customer wants a car name that makes no sense, by damn he's going to get one.

If I had to go with an old Austin, I'd be tempted to go with an A30 or an original Seven, though a giant old Westminster would also be rather cool.

I'll give you that the looks are a matter of taste; I happen to like the fact that it looks like an achondroplastic DeSoto that OD'ed on wheel pants, but I can see how some woudn't. It's unquestionably not boring looking though, definitely quirky.

As a big classiness plus, the Hollywood is a modified Cord body.

Seeing as I'm limited to '58 or earlier, I'm going to propose the Nash Metropolitan. Why? Well, even in original kit it gets amazingly good gas mileage, it handles well, has good looks, and parts and spares are as yet still pretty available. These things in fixer-upper shape are quite cheap, so even if you blow one up…

We have a commentator on here in his 80s, which would mean possibly the Cugnot steam wagon. You think you have it rough with your choices...

Well, it does say "more than". You can certainly stretch to a '41 or further back: '39, 38, etc.

Think for a moment what the most common abbreviation for carburetor is. Then think about marginally accurate ways of describing aqueous crystal formations such as those of rust, i.e. hydrated. Then think about the homophone similarity of "carb hydrates" to another word, one you used, and realize that in derailing into…
