So it seems Michigan is effectively one enormous car survival lab.

Those 204 coupé / hatchbacks are such charmers.

A Fiat 124 is a pretty good start for anyone. Especially if you don’t turn it into a Soviet kolchozmobile like Lada did.

I’ve never been a Porsche fan, but always liked those 986s, and they are starting to look seriously tempting. But then I remember the other ‘not a proper Porsche’...

The 718 is an archetype; almost the platonic ideal of a real world sportscar.

Well, it had to compete with the Swallow Doretti, and that looks as if it has at least two RR Merlins.

Interesting post!

The Suzulight Fronte was based on the earlier Suzulight SS series, itself a fairly straightforward copy of the even older Lloyd LP400, and as such had a transversely mounted two-cylinder, two-stroke engine driving the front wheels.

Bien sûr

Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far. I mean, it hits all the criteria, and is pretty much the only one to hit ‘open to EV’ as well.

Why would Bruce fly a Dutch plane, though?

It’d be interesting if this MuskPravda fact checked media stories, but I have a feeling that isn’t going to happen.
