Pininfarina has designed almost everything, including the Coke Freestyle machine. Offhand the largest production is probably a Peugeot or Fiat car. The Peugeot 504 was in production for decades, as was the 205. Even the Fiat 124 Spyder was produced in substantial numbers. 

What a guy

Of course it's for sale in Portland.  ND because even Mercedes Streeter would think twice at this one.

I have two, Peter Wheeler era,TVR for sheer batshit crazy like the Sagaris and the Cerbera Speed 8, and Mazda for consistently delivering great driver's,cars and keeping the faith with the MX-5

If they weren't getting old themselves you could do a show with comedy actors who were also automotive journalists.  Rowan Atkinson and Alexei Sayle both had columns in Car and Chris Barrie (Rimmer from Red Dwarf) wrote for Practical Classics. In between slagging each other off there would be some real content 

You completely missed Eclipse Luggage,  maker of excellent motorcycle tank bags

My father's family is the opposite.  In the early 60s an aunt went through a windshield and the whole extended family became very seatbelt aware.

Back in early oughts a friend had one kid and felt the need for a Honda Odyssey when we were hauling 2 kids in a Ford Escort.  For a bonus people in the park thought we were a clown car when we produced two kids, two adult bike, a trail-a-bike,  a Burley trailer,  and a picnic lunch from a small hatchback.  

No sane car company exec will touch Tesla's Partial Self Driving and Semi-auto pilot because it's instant lawsuit and trusting Elon with big chunk of your company's future.  If you can't roll you own it makes more sense to go with an established supplier like Bosch 

Does the price include a Hawaiian shirt a cigar and a Tom Selleck mustache? With the amount of work done and Ferraris and Ferrari mechanics cost more ore less NP

You’re right about modern cars looking alike and angry.

I can only feel schadenfreude for the CyberCucks reaping what Elon has sown. There's some interesting tech, but the design is atrocious and apparently rivals the Fisker Ocean for bugs.  

I now want some mad lad to LS swap a Cybertruck. 

I haven't actually driven an Accord since the 80s.  It looks theu have gone downhill.  I have a Mazda CX-5 and an old pickup so I am contrary,  and not yet 60

My favorite Mitsuoka was the kei car that looked like a,Triumph Mayflower, I think it was,the first generation Ray. The Mayflower itself was sort of proto Mitsuoka with Rolls-Royce razor edge styling applied to an Austin A30 sized car. 

I think this is a “how long is a piece of string?” kind of question. It varies by region, age chortle and class. My own family is all over the map. My mom is 83 and her current, and probably final rid is a loaded Honda Accord, Her older sister has a 5 Series BMW, and my in-laws replaced a Lexus RX with an Audi Q3 a

Sounds right, there has to be a time standard and the US has the best claim to define it. Whether we succeed in putting a manned base on the moon on time and under budget is another story.  

I'd want receipts for head gaskets,  otherwise NP

Well that's less nasty than the tanker of hagfish on Highway 101 a few years ago. It will be interesting to see what happens to Lookingglass Creek's population after this accidental introduction.  BTW these appear to both be in Wallowa County in NE Oregon so they are tributaries of the Snake River 

That concave rear window is almost certainly an El Camino part from the final 78-87 generation and it may have donated some sheet metal too.
