1958 Ford Nucleon.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

1975 Honda CB750, 1986 Rebel Rascal (sailing dinghy), 2015 Mini Cooper, 2020 Winnebago 31H (E450), 2021 Toyota 4Runner, 2022 Lincoln Aviator

Impractical, but I really liked the idea of the Indigo.

No more impractical than a Prowler...

The concept had a lot of nifty features that just sucked on the production car.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I would have preferred it if the Phaeton had kept the 911 like rear end the concept had. At least as an option.

I actually really like that Phaeton; if it had kept that body style and priced lower than a Mercedes CLS, I'd venture to say it would have done quite well; I'd probably be a fan.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Chrysler 300 Hemi C.


Would have been a nice compliment to the Crossfire, 300, and PT cruiser and would have possibly allowed Chrysler to be taken seriously as a premium entity.

Prodrive P2.  Top Gear made me want this ugly contraption.

There are a few of those running around.  One of my local Chrysler dealerships had two for sale.

Two cars I wanted Mazda to make that I could actually afford would have been the RX-01.



Or the NA MX-5 coupe. Not that NB one they did make for Japan. But the one they had shown of the NA in yellow but never made.
