I’m always amazed at how fugly conversions are these days, when you look back at 50s-70s ones that just rock still today, and looked like they were intended to be hearses.

That’s very interesting - thanks for the post!

I do agree that inward may have been a better idea. To prolong a concave element (the gap) with a convex one (the crease) will not camouflage either but instead make people think something went wrong.

I had never realized till now this wasn’t a hatchback.

The accident gave an aimless sculpture a porpoise.

Dashcam suggestion thirded (or fourthed, or whatever.) Seriously.

Given that Trumpists are more than very happy to proclaim their idiocy, not having anything as surely marks you down as a damn Communisssss as having banners by the dozen.

The thin blue line passed out water to an underage, out-of-state kid armed to the gills with weapons he wasn’t authorized to use, so I wouldn’t hold my breath on them going after all those “helpers”.

This bonkersly overwrought design should only live on the walls of a teen discovering masturbation.

I just learned a new English word today! In French, “bolide” just (and only) means a “fast-going car”.

I’m a bit confused by you mention of US dollars and then the UK, but, unless that was a typo for “US”, I would recommend you give a very good look to Coboc, available in Europe.

I really doubt many cars were built in Swiss factories in the 70s and 80s (or later), unless you count oddballs like Rinspeed, Monteverdi and Sbarro. The linked article mentions the factory working until 1972, and surely that was about it.

I wasn’t aware that proportion, finesse, and cohesive design were strong points on the original Hummers.

OK, but that’s hardly high-volume outlets, is it.

Funnily enough, replace “jeep frownyface” with something fitting a coupé and your whole post could apply to the C8 itself (and be as valid.)

I like how the grille lifts with the hood, old Mercedes-style, giving better loading access

It’s a front trunk. Just like the rear trunk is a rear trunk, and not a rrunk.

Ballsy move to admit to this sort of thing publicly.

That photo is spectacularly unflattering (as if the poor car needed any help in looking unbecoming.)

Perhaps. But “not as ugly as other SUVs” is like “not as stupid as that other president” - whille it may be true, it also isn’t much.
