A Lancia Stratos Zero because 70s Italian design is still the best. Even a humble Fiat Strada looked good while it rusted to pieces around you

Since Mr. Menendez has held the most venal member of Congress title for 30 years,  this is about as surprising as a rainy day in Seattle. 

That looks like fun, as long I’m watching from a bunker.

These rank just below the distantly related Citroën SM on the old PCH scale, and it’s a slushbox so ND

Am I a heretic or a prophet?

I’ve been on some of these. We lived in Joplin Missouri in the early 90s so Route 66 was a main business street and we regularly drove I-44 to Tulsa as the nearest big city.

Not so much weird as legally interesting. The quarter window behind the door on the Mk3 Escort van required a,rewrite of UK commercial vehicle rules to allow an extra window.

Yes those are the ones with fixed glass and opening vent windows on the trailing edge

Between this and the LX platform cars Chrysler deserves an award for squeezing life out of a platform. It stll doesn’t top the original Landrover Defender which was a face-lift and repower of a 1983 vehicle using a chassis from 1970 and body from 1958. For background, the Defender used a Range Rover chassis and a lot…

The Tacoma doesn't have an 8' box either :), also a used Tacoma would have cost more so I'm OK with that

EV credits and carbon offsets are the Papal Indulgences of environmentalism. Do not claim to be "green" if you're just buying your way out of it. Build the cars, plant the trees, or admit sin.

My F150 has an 8' cargo box, a Miata doesn’t, also my wife will no longer drive a manual car due to hip problems. I get my manual transmission fix from my motorcycle.

Truck sales reflect the perverse incentives of the US auto market where the “footprint rule” and the “chicken tax” militate against modest sized trucks and the rejection of the minivan, station wagon and sedan have pushed everyone into trucks or pseudo trucks. 

Holy crap! my entire F150 is only 5000lbs according to the scale at the dump. It's also faster on a Forest Service road than a Tacoma because the long wheelbase and soft springs take the potholes better.

Tourons gonna touron, SMH. I hope both drivers get a stiff penalty pour encourage les autres.  Sadly the constant stream of posts to the Tourons of Yellowstone and Tourons of National Parks Instagram accounts argue otherwise. 

I'm glad Mazda is rewarded for keeping the faith by selling every MX-5 they build.  

This is the ancestor of the modern shifter Kart, which does have 4 wheels but also even more power from its 125cc motocross engine. If anything this is less crazy than a state of the art mid 50s race Kart with twin McCulloch chainsaw engines.

You were #1 on the list of people who would never bid on this car, having been there and done that 

This seems like NP for a stock and complete Europa, ND for a questionable modified one

The blue Matchbox has working doors. A Lotus Europa replaced Emma Peel's Lotus Elan on The Avengers when Mrs Peel was replaced by Tara King.
