Just look at this stack! I just had a little Jalop orgasm. Is that a Tissier conversion of a Citroën CX? I have no idea what the blue-cabbed truck is, something 1970s Hino?

I talked myself out of buying one when it was first announced because my car is 2 years from being paid off but the want is so strong. If they had an AWD hybrid I 100% would have preordered one and said logic be damned. It’s really the perfect vehicle for me. An XLT AWD Hybrid is right where I want to be.

Come on down to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville to find out lol

You also turn the engine with the front wheel on those. There was a Spanish microcar called the David that did the same thing.

Even compact pickups that get 35mpg? What about when I’m using mine to carpool with my wife?

I have one.  That stupid Ford chime, plus the track record of botched launches, and quality control issues.  I don’t know if I could come up with 100,000 reservations, but those are a few of mine.

I was all ready to ND this and then realized - you’re not buying a car here, not really. You’re buying a show piece to take to meets, Cars & Coffee, town 4th of July parades, and maybe your kid’s pep rally or whatever. You’re not going to drive this to work nor through the McDonald’s drive-thru.

The seller should put it on Turo and just rake in the money.  I don’t want to own this thing but damned if I don’t want to drive it for an hour or two.  No Dice on owning this Green Peen but as a rental, look me up when it happens.

This is a very well made argument. Nice work. As a result we all now get to hear a bunch of wondering dribble from some triggered muskers.

Hot take and totally right. Cadillac is doing it right by focusing on freeways, where you have a carefully controlled, predictable, well-marked, limited-access environment, and the benefit is high due to driver fatigue.

Counterpoint — horizontal speedometers and wide split-bench seats are two things that should never have been pushed out of style by cookie-cutter cars like the Accord.

Guessing you are correct- I probably missed something on the seats :)

I think it does, actually, since these are all MOMA’s cars and they’re putting them together in one space which they don’t often do. They’re all examples of groundbreaking design for various reasons. Maybe you don’t get MOMA.

For $10,500? A Cavalier? I don’t care it it’s a convertible. Hell, I wouldn’t care if it also included a modest vacation package to the glorious sunkist beaches of Puerto Rico valued at $5,500, while Vanna White herself flips the final letters as I solve “My wife is leaving me because I bought a Cavalier for $10,500.”

If they weren’t meant to cook kebabs, they shouldn’t have put ‘Lamb’ right there in the name. 

I remember there was a “best interstates in the country” list that was done by surveying truck drivers. I-40 from Knoxville, TN to Memphis, TN was the best. The worst was I-40 from West Memphis, AR to Fort Smith, AR. I remember driving to New Mexico one time. I left from Nashville and as soon as we crossed the bridge…

I booked DMX at a show in Atlanta around... I want to say it was Halloween 2011. Anyway, I didn’t really know what to expect. At that point in his career, DMX was something of a novelty name to add to a bill. Our other acts that night were all pretty standard EARMILK fare, and our audience was probably just old enough…

Wild speculation here, but the Euro Dauphines may not have had sealed beams (since they had a separate city bulb), while sealed beams were required here in the US until 1986. So there wasn’t a way to put the city bulbs in the US bound cars (plus we don’t really use city beams in the US.)

Mercedes: The $30k-$35k target was to buy the vehicle, not the annual maintenance bill.

While I generally find the “all gentrification is evil” narrative pretty limited, to me this is just called: Do Your Research. Figure out what happens in a neighborhood, decide whether or not you’d be happy to live there, and then sign your lease accordingly. Don’t show up and mess with the lives of the people who…
