Is it ugly? arguably
Is it slow? Hell yes
Does it fall apart? Well, it can
Is it a high-end car? Certainly not!!
... but ... it's a CULT car, a total classic!!!
You don't destroy a 2CV!!! tsk, tsk, tsk



Did you own one, really? I have a picture of me in that car around here somewhere. I should dig it out and post it, you'd have a good laugh!!

Do you actually know what's written on the plate? In french, Poubelle means Trash...

They don't. I've ridden in many so I can tell you first hand. When you take a turn, the wheels stay firmly planted while the rest of the car moves (that's with more than 2 people in the car) It's actually kind of fun, especially when you ride in the back.

I'm aware of that
The owner of that car has a good sense of humour
plus he's in no hurry to get anywhere because in San Francisco there are tons of hill, and some of them are real steep. If memory serves, a 2CV climbs hills VERY SLOWLY;) not what you'd call a performance car! but you still gotta love 'em

I actually like the VW Thing. It kinda reminds me of an old military Wrangler, but funkier!

-----------

DeLorean DMC-12... Come on! Back to the Future, anyone? That car made history!!

-----------

Toyota RAV4... Can they even remotely be serious??

-----------

"Jeep Compass
Introduced: 2007

Jeep is an automotive classic. So why the Compass? The signature round headlights look out of place, while the fake grill and mismatched panels are more evidence that the Compass' designers lacked a unified vision."

Umm, I guess they don't realize that it's a remake of the Liberty...

-----------

Ferrari Enzo... Umm, it's a Ferrari? Did they expect something else?

-----------

Plymouth Prowler... Now that is one that I can agree with!! Looks more like it belongs on the track than it does on the roads...

-----------

Toyota Prius... This one, umm, yeah. I think it definitely belongs there!

-----------

Chevrolet SSR... What were they thinking? They call this a truck? Wait, same company that made the El Camino... Nevermind...

-----------

Just my humble opinions on these cars... Some I DRASTICALLY disagree with. A lot of others, yeah, they belong there...

Don't know about the El Camino. Sure the front and rear halves don't match, but I can't help but to look at one when I see it.

Plus the low front-end makes it a hunter's dream. You just hit the deer on the road and it flies over and lands in the bed. No getting out and shooting
