    No it wasnt just a prop for steve erkel. Bmw actually made a car based on a dr seuss dream. The isetta had A front door that swung the steering wheel and column out of the way. And no this guy isnt abnormally huge, the car is that small and had inset rear wheels

    the BMW 507 was made from 1955 to 1957, but only around 250 were ever made as it was just too expensive. powered by a twin carb 3.2L V8.

    it inspired the recent Z8.

    Last 2 while stuck at work. Similar theme:

    Whaddya get when you take acuras best selling suv (the mdx) and take out every reason why they sell (7 seats, cargo space, winter drivability, value, towing capacity, etc)
    The ZDX!
    images-3.jpg
    Shared nothing with the accord crosstour despite similar ideas. The zdx is a beast in comparison yet none of that size equated to space. To give you an idea the worst car deal i ever wrote was on a zdx. -17000 net loss to unload a 2 year leftover lot rock.

    And this is rareish but not completely terrible:
    Volvo xc90 excellence.

    And before you say "wait thats a good looking suv"

    Yes i know. But the excellence is a 4 passanger 106,000 dollar chauffeur vehicle with orrefors crystal champagne flutes and tray tables. The divider is between the rear seats and cargo area. So no poppin bottles in the excellence. Did i mention its a volvo?

    Ok i cheated with one more. Yota hummer anyone? Not gonna lie id love to show up to a tw meet in one of these freaking things even if id never fit down the trail

    This was too cool to let pass, quoting the Craigslist ad since it will eventually be deleted

    Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada, circa 1965

    Giotto Bizzarrini was an design engineer at Alfa, then Ferrari.. after Ferrari's big purge, he made his own cars. these had Corvette alloy 5.3L V8's with italian carbs, part fiberglass, part aluminum body. very ligth, very fast, well balanced because the engine was moved way back in the chassis.

    My co-worker owns and drives one. He loves it and loves talking about it.

    I just smile and nod.


    It's the only why I can communicate to him that I am utterly speechless.
