Go to a cruise in sometime. There’s an entire subculture of car enthusiast who spends thousands on performance enhancements just to take to car shows and pop the hood. Sure, they might do a 2 or 3 gear pull once in a blue moon, but their cars are far from abused. It’s generally comprised of old guys with money to

No, the only French things we have here in ‘Murica are fries and toast.

They’re going to start, but the Transit is HUGE... way bigger than most people would want for a daily driver. The Transit Connect is the Transit’s little brother. I sometimes day dream about an AWD, 6-spd manual Transit Connect RS being a thing that exists.

The real unicorns are the ones with a manual trans!

And Honda needs to make a new Element, or Ford needs to make an AWD Transit Connect... Or somebody, anybody, needs to make an AWD vehicle that can carry a motorcycle inside it that isn’t a $40k Toyota Sienna.

“Zombie apocalypse or not, the kids have to get to soccer practice”

Wellllllll.... It has an LCD screen, but you gotta remember that LCD screen is from 2005.

Agreed. I’ve shopped for these off and on over the years and $19,500 isn’t too far off for a clean, stock 1st gen with 81k on the clock. NP for a clean, well modded V all day long.

Have you never been to a cruise in? In the Corvette realm those people are referred to as “waxers”, and they’re surprisingly common.

The CB1000R is two R’s short of being a race replica superbike, it’s a neo-retro-whatever-sport-standard. Faster and more sporty than a cruiser, but more sport-touring than sportbike.

Nah... those need a little extra something. How about this?

Right? It’s right there in the name. If you expect the impossible, you’re going to be disappointed every time.

...It’s not terrible

My vote goes for an Infinity Q50. AWD, based on Z-car platform so somewhat sportiesh, looks luxurious but has Nissan maintenance costs:

I dunno, I think it’s pretty noteworthy that she literally starved herself to death. That’s a very hard, very protracted way to voluntarily go in a first world country.

Hell, Ben Affleck looks more like Carroll Shelby... Pretty much any actor over 6' tall with black hair looks more like Carroll Shelby than Matt Damon.  The guy who played Lee Garner Jr. on Mad Men would’ve been my choice, but he doesn’t have the star power.

Yeah, but I have a hard time believing somebody would voluntarily and needlessly embark on an undertaking that will more than likely result in their own violent death without having, at the very least, a touch of depression.

Don’t forget the ball joints and tie rod ends! I see cars on the side of the road a couple times a year with the front tires pointed in vastly different directions.
