Everybody has their own set of taste in things.

b u t What's the strangest vehicle, That you dream of having?



I'll start with mine. I basically wanna own this car-

I want to drive the giant Eddie Murphy head

Furrion Exo-Bionics racing mech. Just the fact that you can say a sentence like that is so cool.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool "Car Guy" but my taste in vehicles has always been outside the socially-accepted norm, so pretty much any vehicle I want to own will be considered "weird" by most.

For starters, I've long lusted after one of these: A 1967 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 (the coupe, not the convertible, and in that exact color)-

Or one of these: 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus-

What do you think of the Reliant Robin, because I'd like to own that just for kicks.

I like your picks, by the way.

A van down by the river!

I've never driven one or even sat in one, but by all accounts they're small, underpowered, and exhibit truly scary handling due to their propensity to tip over during panic maneuvers. I like the concept of a no-frills, basic, reliable, versatile car that anyone can afford to own, but the Reliant Robin seems to have missed the mark on that.

A better and more recent example of that kind of car which never got the appreciation I felt it deserved was sold in the US as the Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift, the main difference besides badging being that all Swifts came with 4-cylinder engines while most Metros had 3-cylinders. They were cheap to buy, more than reasonably reliable, comfy enough for two with room for four in a pinch (even I fit in one fine), and incredibly simple and easy to repair when anything did break or wear out. These are qualities shared with original VW Type 1 "Beetles" and Ford Model Ts, two of the best-selling and most-loved cars of all time, yet Metros and Swifts get no love at all and are generally considered a joke.


Thanks. Almost every male in my family has the "motorcycle gene" except me, but as compensation I seem to have inherited a double dose of the "big car gene" that they have as well.

An Edsel. I want to see if the bad rep is justified or not.

The "bad rep" of Edsels is nothing more than imaginative and salacious folklore propagated by people who have never owned one nor likely even seen one in person. Mechanically Edsels are identical to Fords and Mercurys of the same three model years which enjoy a general "meh, not bad" reputation overall.

The '58 Edsels are considered extremely ugly and feature an unusual drum speedometer as well as automatic transmission gear selection via buttons on the steering wheel hub. The '59 Edsels are reasonably good-looking cars for the period and have conventional speedometers and gear selectors. The '60 Edsels are just thinly-disguised Ford Galaxies.

So all I do is set the record straight by dispelling unfounded rumors about Edsels, complete with a link, and that kills the thread? Really? At no point did I try to discourage The_Otaku_Girl from owning one, I was merely pointing out that Edsels aren't the wild, weird, wacky cars she may have heard they were and that they're basically just regular cars of the late 50s, so she'd keep her expectations of one realistic.

Details on why the Edsel flopped (the names Ford paid poet Marianne Moore to come up with for Edsels are hilarious!)-

Onward and upward, then...

Expanding on something I said earlier, in high school while my friends and fellow "Car Guys" were lusting after these:

I was into cars like these:

So both I and my taste in cars got called "weird" (and much worse) by my friends on an almost daily basis. Did I take it personally? Nah, they had their opinions and preferences, I had mine: They wanted something flashy, extroverted, and sporty that suggested (but in reality often didn't deliver) high performance and would, they fervently hoped, cause any attractive young women nearby to drop their panties and jump in the car with them every time they stopped for a red light, whereas I wanted something smooth, roomy, and relatively unnoticeable that would allow me to break the strictly enforced 55 mph speed limit of the time in perfect comfort and without attracting the attention of the local constabulary.

So, weirdest vehicle that I wanna own? Top honor probably has to go to a car most people have never heard of let alone seen an example of, a 1960 Dodge Polara-
