Added! It was indeed awesome, really awesome.

I own and drive one of these
I have a newer PU that fetches parts for the above one when needed. It has less miles on it than that one.
That one has been to the moon and back a few times in it's lifetime.

I always have to own a PU Truck in my line of living. If I bought a new car. I'd probably buy one of these.

My wife owns and drives one of these
So we already have the sports car thing covered.

I think the best car design is a small footprint (my old PU runs off propane). Is Fast. Gets good gas mileage.
Won't take up all of the road.

I have recycled my rides for decades now. Me living A kind of Zippo lifestyle instead of a Bic lifestyle.

My other druthers if I won the lotto. I'd have these boys design me a car and motorcycle also.

They make a electric tricycle for grownups that has a electric wheel in the front and a battery box in the rear and flies like
the wind also. They are also a open source company.

Thanks! That...was what a car was supposed to be...well, for me then anyway...
@ rokytnji - I seen one of those customised, I think for a brand of beer...sweet beyond drooling...too bad I lost the name of the thing...
Edit - I remember the name "stroh's" on the grille...but, I assume that's a brand of beer...

I spent all my beer money on beer. So cannot buy this.
Yeah. Strohs is a beer.

And my wife will kill or divorce me if I trade my Nissan 4 door Frontier Pickup Truck for it straight across.
Besides. I run 6 motorcycles and 5 bicycles so far any-ways. So it is not like I am in need of transportation or am suffering.

My problem has always been. If you do not live on the edge. You take up too much space. Plus. The one that dies with
most toys wins. Childish. I know. But I do not care. That defines fun for me. I know of one Linux member here where aviation
is their preferred mode of having a ball. To each their own poison.

Here is another car picture of what local motors builds.

At that price???? I can get a car PLUS the four (count 'em - four) tires that come with it for half that price

If you do not live on the edge. You take up too much space

...that or you are mummified...

The one that dies with most toys wins.

...boys...toys...hehe

...okay, now I have to mop the floor, all that drool :P

It was a mechanic's nightmare, but, if you could afford to buy one, you could afford your own mechanic. The Jaguar XK-E. It was poetry, whether moving or standing still.

This is surely to upset someone as sheer blasphemy but I have always loved the original T-Birds (though I like the '56 a bit better than the '57) it wasn't long after first seeing one irl that I began to wonder what it would be like to have junked the biggest drawback to Fords from that era and employ instead the considerably superior Chevy engines.

Later I could amend that by adding the Ford 289 by which time Ford finally came around and rid themselves of that horrible "Y" block with rocker shafts in favor of rocker studs. Additionally both the 289 and the 50s-60s series of V8s, even the ratty 265 ffs, excepting only 348's and 396's, but especially INcluding the venerable 283 and 327 had a more oversquare configuration. Ford 272's 312's etc had long strokes that were more suited to trucks and stump-pullers than highway passenger cars. Why Ford stuck with that awful design for so long I will never fathom and I think was the built in TimeBomb that effectively destroyed the real T-Bird concept. Furthermore what genius at Ford thought it a good idea to add insult to injury and destroy even the name by choosing it for that abomination from the 60s?

We will never know but I am betting that if the original T-Birds had a cooler running, faster accelerating, lighter, short stroke, rocker stud V8s they would have actually fulfilled the niche and given Corvettes a run for their money. In any case I'd love to drive one and if I was rich enough I would build one.

1969 Plymouth Superbird

Tesla of course.
