Worst drivers seat : Dacia Logan MCV. I rented one to carry my MX-5's summer tires, and the 70km I did at the wheel were enough to give me backache. There was a moment when I had to hit the brakes hard, my ass just slipped toward the front, with my body only restrained by the seat belt. It was just like driving on a…

Judging from how the car seems to be tipping on one side and the wheels don’t look perfectly aligned on all the official photos, I kinda expected handling to be an option to be honest.

This is true in any large French city unfortunately. When I was living in Strasbourg during my first week, I saw a guy trying to park his VW Touran between two cars, I smiled and thought “that spot’s clearly too small man” ... Turns out, it was just a matter of opinion : the guy reversed into the car behind, pushed it…

I thought it was already dead, since it was (is?) made at the ex-Phaeton factory in Dresden, which is now supposed to produce the ID.3

Actually, the French could save them. Importing from Germany is super easy and the 1st Gen Twingos have retained some value there :

I thought that this “bioweapon defense mode” was just Musk overselling Panasonic’s Nanoe that’s also found on some Toyotas. But actually he’s just been overselling a thick paper filter ?

Wait, are we already that far in the future ?

I see some Trump-jet vibes in this design :

Hm, it does feel weird indeed.

BUGATTI FULL POWER💯

What’s the problem here? Bike engine doesn’t fit in the car? Make it fit. The 1.4-liter turbo engine can’t get to 150 HP ? Is there room for both a turbo and supercharger?

My rule when buying cars has been to limit my choice to clean examples with less than 100,000km (<62,000mi) or ideally less than 80,000km (<50,000mi), and they were all relatively problem-free so far, but they were all NA and quite simple mechanics and electronics.

Now for some reason (a taste for challenge maybe ?)…

Here are the pair of cars they had for as far as I can remember. Difficult to imagine that I managed to develop a passion for cars growing among such boring examples. I’ll let you pick the “coolest”.

Also Audi :

I don’t know about cars, but the japanese toilet brand Toto has already invented the “toilet bike”. Well yes, they call it a bike, despite the fact it’s obviously a trike. Here are a few pics I grabbed at their museum :

Oh yes, and even in the 80s. I never understood why people would do that to their MBs.

Well indeed you can replace the spring-mounted hood ornament with a flat enamel one (I’ve considered one of those when some kid bent mine as he failed to steal it), but that would just make two of them, because there’s always one already fixed on the front grille :

This reminds me of something I never understood : the Switch by Pininfarina. I’ve seen them in several places, and I can’t see what makes it special from a design standpoint. It’s round, with a line on it, colored depending on it’s weight. Pretty much what you’d expect from a bowling ball.

Hey ! Nice Hyundai !
