But without the handling. 

I’ve never understood these things. It’s like taking the best parts of a motorcycle and a convertible... and building something with what’s left over. Or... how to have some of the fun of a motorcycle and some of the usefulness of a convertible with the bonus of looking like a dork when driving it.

I've been out-pedantic'd, and I'm here for it.

I would buy a modern CUV before I drive ANY PT Cruiser. PT Cruisers aren’t cool. They were never cool. Even with a manual.

Any car that’s used prominently in sideshows and ‘street takeovers’ will never, ever appreciate. Image does matter.

Not sure why, but I love a tiny, gutless, bare-bones hatchback. Yaris 3 door. Mirage. Versa Note. Heck years ago I did a road trip through Canada and was rubbernecking each time I saw a Nissan Micra.

This GenX er is still waiting for an affordable interpretation of a 80s Japanese econobox or sedan. The Honda e was sort of in that direction, but not quite. I have a sense that if anything close happens, it will probably be a pickup.

I can feel the Cowl Shake from here. ND

Yikes. A rich douche-bro. What are the chances the car ISN’T beat like a rented mule? The affluenza wafts off him like a soupy miasma.

That’s why I drive like a grandpa around other people, because I don’t want or need that on my conscience. Unfortunately too many people either don’t understand or care that driving something larger, or even driving in general, is a huge responsibility

Having worked in the Vegetable Oil industry, I know that used vegetable oil is a hot commodity. As part of our companies system they would pickup and resell all the used oil and it mainly went to Bio-Diesel on an industrial scale. So unless you are getting used oil from your Brother-In-Laws Cajun chicken and wing…

It was pretty standard stuff for Ford at the time though.  Really... all domestic automakers were putting out crap interiors.

I’d be more excited by the 2CV that Roger Moore drove in “For Your Eyes Only.”

Came here to say this, left glad it was the top comment.

The picture on this one has 4 lugs and 8 spokes. It doesn’t apply.

Slide 4: “Any wheel where the number of spokes is not evenly divisible by the number of visible lugs.”
