I love it when all the players get the final answer wrong and I knew it.  Doesn’t happen very often, but it has.  

Hybrid Element with a slot for the new Motocompo

This is 100% the answer - even VW knew it.

I’m biased. But my karmann ghia. Considered a sports car by Volkswagen. A “poor man’s Porsche” but essentially being a rebodied beetle with whopping 60 hp on a good day. Calling it a sports car based on anything other than its looks is a stretch.

A mid-60s Ford Falcon with roll-up crank windows and a carbed I6 under the hood. No A/C of course. But it’d be a car so simple, so easy to keep running due to hardly anything there to go wrong in the first place, cheap parts available to this day in the second place, that the Falcon is your answer.

I have the answer.

The tow hook on a Krautwagen of any description is the handiest part of the tool kit. Mini included. On an Italian car it’s a tossup between an emergency flare and a fire extinguisher (the latter for if you have second thoughts after deploying the first)

Truck “design” has gotten world-class stupid lately. It is the reason used and classic truck values keep climbing.

An encounter at an antique motorcycle show. Two middle-aged guys were asking about my bike, a Series C Vincent Rapide. They asked me how much horsepower it made. I answered that they made about 45 hp from the factory. They were disappointed because, they said, Brough Superiors made 200 hp. From one liter. In the 1930s.…

Contributing to the tax base is completely meaningless when you’re warping the real estate market so badly that you’re pushing everyone out of the market who should actually be in it. And I am not of the ilk that corporations are people — their actions need to be regulated to protect us. Homes should be for people to…

There’s a vas deferens between saying “penis” and doing something that should get you kicked off a plane.

Any answer that’s not a straight-8 is wrong. I’m going with the Duesenberg:

Probably. This is the transport device that today’s dually drivers have to take to get to the rear of their truck and back.

*almost any car

The worst three-wheeler of all time is easily any car that started the day with four wheels.

All of the three-wheeled cars OF THE FUTURE!, from companies that make unrealistic promises and will happily take your money for vaporware that will likely never see the light of day. Fellow humans, I present to you the Elio and Aptera.

Still wrong, you need to buy a $4K toyota Matrix (or Pontiac Vibe), plenty of standard out there. Just make sure the point of friction is not too high (meaning the clutch is toasted) and resell it 6 month later at the same price when you are done. Easy clutch, low power. Then you can buy a nice manual without worrying…

Kinda surprised not to find a true light-duty pickup (eg the original Ranger, or S-10/Sonoma, or reasonably-sized Tacoma) on this list.
