If there’s anything worse than a Lada Samara Cabriolet, I’d be interested to hear about it.

This one?

With a toddler and two babies they’re not going to need a 3rd row for 10 years or so. Why not just buy a car?

They missed a trick by not offering after-market covers for the rear wheel wells.

$70? For that sort of money, you could probably find something not awful.

Also reminding us that most ‘wing mirrors’ are door mirrors. Being mounted on the wings, or ‘fenders’ if you’re a colonial, isn’t as fashionable as it once was.

Maybe the marketing is all back to front. Could the manufacturers not market wagons as having the space of an SUV, with the performance of a real car?
For example, this 2018 E class has more room than many SUVs, is infinitely nicer, and yet still not getting all the love that it deserves.

OTL?

Max Valier, bona fide nutter, had the right idea. Terminal velocity of 400km/hr. In January, 1929. Saw this thing in the museum at Munich, it really is just a tiny homemade canoe on skis. With big rockets attached.
Not something that one would necessarily daily drive, but worth including.

Pity he couldn't have been as helpful towards Gawker.

The Reliant Robin wasn’t great, but it was deliberately mad to look bad by Top Gear, as descibed by Torchinsky BITD

These things are even sadder than they look.

Coolest Canadian car is the Meteor Niagara. It has a button on the dash that shrinks people and destroys perspective.

Garagiste. French, not Italian. Also applied to small scale winemakers.

Now playing

Essential viewing for context and background. And just an extraordinary film, regardless.

A door with the roof attached is always going to be odd.

He looks like she’s caught him doing something that he shouldn’t.

This is obviously the Tesla Roadstore.

I’ll get my coat.

Unlesss the owner is one of those HOA goblins.

The myth is perpetuated at least partly because the industry chooses not to explain that AWD is not 4WD.
