Lately I've caught myself looking at the design of mass transportation vehicles. Things we take for granted are so damn smartly designed. Even your local city metropolitan bus has very neat design details.

I meant to say "Inherited a few things from dad". Can't edit. Dammit.

To think my very first car was a Saab 99 EMS, black with the soccer ball wheels. Loved it. But being a poor kid, eventually I couldn't cope with the repair bills. Had to sell it off for cheap with a broken transmission and a messed-up electrical system.

I inherited a few things for that, but the special spot goes to two of his old R/C cars. There was a particular shade of bright metallic green that was his color.

Who the heck parks sideways in the majority of the world? Answer: No one. The Mirage is 148" in length—pretty short if you ask me. I've driven all over south Texas at 75-85 MPH, fully loaded with my family and cargo, easily, averaging 38 MPG.

These are a couple of the cars I have in my collection. THIS is what they should make.

Sorry: :) 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage DE.

TIL People at Mercedes-Benz walk in slow motion.

Matchbox does have a Citroen DS19, which is nice. I have four of them in different colors!

You are correct. I collect Matchbox, while my son collects Hot Wheels. Apart from a few select models, the modern Matchboxes don't hold a candle to Hot Wheels, so I usually scour the flea markets for old models.

Afla?

It's a drive-thru access hatch for the rear passengers.
