There are soooo many great FWdrivers that I'm sure there sigificanly more fun ones out there, but honestly, I've driven a bunch of these and they're a hoot in "S" trim.

That's an incredible picture...no, not the Crossley scooter.

win.

I think you nearly nailed it, Mike. Protege was my first thought too. But, if you're gonna go there, you might as well go with the (used) Protege ES, with the "slightly-more-fun" pak 2.0L and 16" wheels...or, the "even-slightly-more-funner" Protege5 pak with the 2.0L, 16" wheels, shouty red shock tower brace, and…

"like"

I know, I kid...but seriously, your last paragraph says it all.

a 500 FOOT CRANE? on WHEELS?

I'm guessing it's actually 1.3 feet wide at the door sills, not at the [outboard] wheel arches. Either that, or Germans are a much narrower people than I remember them to be.

haha, very nice.

lol. nice.

I'd put money on 7 of the 13 being replaced by new supercars,

"Then again, it had analog gauges & crank windows."

My father bought a Chrysler LeBaron [K-car] new in 1986. I believe he owned it until about 1992. Just how he kept the car, his job, and his sanity that long I will never understand.

lol, very nice.

OR...they could be used for vaporizing everything in your mighty 7-Series' path.

beat me to it...

Awww, bouncy snow Jimnys are so cute!

Nooooooo!

Excellent choice.

Well...if you're gonna talk about the engine that saved the free world...
