Me. No matter how much I try, I just can't stand Fiat. I love Minis (old and new), and I love the classic beetle (used to own one). I love the Miata (had one of those, too), anything made by MG (any British roadster, for that matter)... I love tiny foreign cars, but there's just something cosmetically about the 500…

The metermaidmobile kinda looks professional; like the owner condoned it. Notice how the windows, wheels, lights, etc are clean?

Don't ascribe to bravery what can more easily be explained with stupidity.

I used to live in a converted '66 school bus. This thing actually looks pretty nice. And it's a 'motor home'; a 'mobile home' is what Earl Hickey lives in.

"With a 210 HP OHV six-cylinder engine, Holden's ute could cruise at 65 MPH and return 30 MPG with a max payload of about 785 pounds."

But a pre-'98 Ford/pre-95 Dodge was larger. I had a headache rack that fit both older Ford and Dodge trucks (I used it on a '79, '81, '83, & '88 Ford, and an '89 Dodge), but was always about 3" too wide for a 71-92 Chevy. When I upgraded to a '99 F-250, I found the rack was 3" too wide for it as well. I'm guessing…

I once pulled a lifted Wrangler out of hub-deep mud with my Dakota 2x4. A couple months later I pulled a Grand Cherokee out of a 3' deep snow-filled ditch with the same truck. I'm not really much of a Dodge guy, as all the Dodges I owned were garbage and suffered major failures, but those Dakotas are pretty serious…

It's a low-res picture, but I"m fairly impressed at the condition of the car's front clip. I would have expected a head-on with a building to cause a bit more damage than that.

That is so many kinds of awesome. Now I want to go to a $5-budget cosplay convention.

There are a couple of those in my town — yes, I said couple — and my town only has 6k residents. I see those far too often. Just adds fuel to my despise of Chevrolet.

A 4-door sporty convertible? Bring it on! The Jeep Wrangler needs some competition; I hate the fact I can't get a convertible car with 4 doors.

That's a really awesome and informative video, thanks for sharing!

That expressions in that picture are priceless. The mom looks a little too happy, and the boy looks like he's about scream, and promptly spill it all over.

Wait — the Chevette was RWD?!? I had no idea. I suddenly hate them a lot less.

Seriously. Did you know that Ford and USA have neither one ever won any class at Dakar? Sounds like it's about time.

Here you go.

You, sir, are my hero.

Rebadged? Kia's the one who made it in the first place.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Ford guy, but that was hilarious.

I've always seen it as a Texas Longhorn. I guess I was the only one.
