In middle school I was fascinated by a Bradley GT a few blocks away. It was fiberglass over a Beetle floor pan and the gull wing doors were bent plexiglass but in blue metal flake it looked cool in a 70s sort of way. There was also the Rover 3500 P6 (with 3 hood scoops in a desperate attempt to prevent overheating)…

I thought self immolation was a Lamborghini thing

Ah yes The Wagovan

I remember the SC2, having owned an SL2 for 15 years. The rear hinged door came from extended cab pickup trucks which had similar access issues.  Besides the crossover shift, costs killed these since getting two pillarless doors to line up costs assembly time and money 

Thos 80s "bread van" Civics were peak Honda. I can appreciate their charms after driving an equally basic 2000 Civic hatchback.  It did exactly what it was supposed to nothing more, nothing less. 

Sadly the Mazda5 has been off the market for years,  the only other van I've driven was a Kia Sedona,  which accelerated faster than my car

Any car Mercedes Streeter has owned multiple examples of.

I have recently discovered the Datsun 620 crew cab, and my wife would fit fine in a Cappuccino, sine she is a 3/4 scale person and the Cappuccino is a 3/4 scale Miata

This looks like a prop from a dystopian Sci-fi film and seems as well thought out as the USFA Zip Gun. Expect these to never come to your neighborhood while Rivian builds something useful in a year or so. It's not like you can't electrify any number of existing designs. 

Perhaps it’s because modern minivans are pretty decent. A Toyota Sienna is no worse than the Camry it’s based on. A Mazda5 can be downright fun since it's smaller and available with a manual. 

The Hype Loop is even more laughable than the Cybertruck.  This "transit innovation" is cars in tunnels with colored lights. They can't even use automation in this highly controlled environment. 

The obvious candidate is the beigemobile from old Subaru adds. IIRC this was a lightly disguised Kia Sephia, which was bland in its own right.

Can you find a Ford Maverick for under $25,000? That seems like a good option,  either that or a used F150.  If Craig's ego can handle it a good minivan makes for easy kid wrangling and surprising cargo capacity. 

As with Punisher skulls, "thin blue line", "we are warriors" etc. it sounds tough at first glance but as with Bush the elder using Born in the USA as campaign anthem nobody looked deeper.  

The pre face-lift Fiat Multipla with the headlights in the cowl. I love the concept and appreciate the looks. On a more practical level I still carry a torch for our 2nd generation Mazda5. 

Thanks for answering the inevitable Fisker inventory question. While Vinfast may cheap at the end of the day it’s the Nissan Versa or Mitsubishi Mirage of EVs, a barely competent vehicle noteworthy only for low cost.

Gotta star a Ssangyong reference 

The first problem is wanting to buy a Cybertruck in the first place. That said I see this as the intersection of the uncertainty of used EV pricing and the insanity of "gotta have it"car pricing for most of these. The "AI pricing" is a logical corollary of the tech bro demographic being attracted to the Cybertruck.  I…

Early 80s are best known for being less bad than a Chevy Citation. At $5k with a ripped top and bad AC ND. 

That's a lot nicer than the new Superchargers at Crater Lake Junction which are just sitting on a lot between two derelict stores across from a motel. On the bright side the truck stop in Chemult is installing chargers,  on the minus they are Evgo.  For reference this is on Highway 97 in Central Oregon
