π π πΊ ππππJust look at this poor hapless CitroΓ«n 2CV getting knocked around in the 7.3 magnitude earthquake in Vanuatu today! π±
@dan itβs gorgeous!

@serichards I want links to the propitious vehicle! Only then can I share my worthless opinion of the pros and cons. I still think any i3 counts as car porn. π€ͺ
@Rfm What I had in the back of my mind was the Facel Vega. This is not one of those. I believe it is a Talbot Lago T26 from the 1940-50s.
From Wikipedia (edited):
βTalbot is a dormant automobile marque introduced in 1902 by British-French company ClΓ©ment-Talbot. The founders [were] Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury and Adolphe ClΓ©ment-Bayardβ.
It became the name of Chrysler UK under Peugeot ownership.
Next up, this thing. Again, itβs not something I would buy, but it was there, so I took the photo for #WierdCar.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the #WierdCar Fediiverse, just now I received a notification that @AgentSmith was here among us. He is a true pillar of the Weird Car community over on the π¦ π©. I believe he still owns a #CitroΓ«nXM that he willfully drives over bumpy roads in the #Belfast area of Noβrn Irβn, as well as other vehicles. I have know him to perform surgery on a 500,000 mile #CitroΓ«nPicasso if I am not mistaken, to help out a fellow Weird Car aficionado.
He also likes #Volvo.
This is why I would never buy a used #BMW with the βShadow Sportβ package, including piano black details instead of chrome, and black wheel rims. They are driven too hard for any expectation of longevity.
Can you imagine being 17 and causing this wreck, and what your insurance costs might be going forward?! π±
The owner of the 5 series is going to need a new car, costing thousands more than the insurance payout.
@bgluckman Is there a wrong answer?! π€·ββοΈ
#W124 coupΓ© #C124 was one of my favorite automobiles when owned. Effortless mile muncher at 80-100 mph (where permitted). Comfortable seats for 4 adults with their luggage. Excellent climate control. And of course, the amazing quirkery of the power rear windows, the seat belt advancers, and the front seat backs which unlocked automatically when the front door opened.
It was also reliable, inexpensive to service.
