Thanks Tom!
Two top picks right there
You see these all over India where they're called "auto-rickshaws" and are used, as the name suggests, as little taxicabs.Read this thread last night and lots of amazing posts, so I'll bite and submit my humble offerings:
• I'm awaiting for what should be my dream jacket to arrive: Aero premier HWM black FQHH (will post pics once it shows)
The vehicle list is long and varied, so I'll just add current drool-worthy rides:
• I have Vespas, so this is a no-brainer for someone who had 2 VW buses in the family growing up (utilitarianism at its best):

• Then for rainy days when the scooters aren't the best choice, I'd take one of these, no prob:

• And then when I needed to hit the beach with a little more gear than will fit on the Vespa (Oh wait! This is still a Vespa! :

And so forth and so on...

^ Love the BMW 3.0 CSi. My dad had a 2800 CS when I was a kid -- it was his pride and joy.
Oh, you were one lucky kid! I've always loved this design. It's so sad how dismally banal new cars have become...
Even the pricey ones. I literally can't tell most cars apart. That wouldn't be a problem if they were nice but they all look like they're made from the same mold that is so utterly boring. Like someone took a soap car and melted it. Worst part is, even the expensive ones that were known for their unique, instantly recognizable trademark design now look like all those other shiny bloated slugs. Every great car maker I can think of toned down what was setting them apart...
I know it's all about the safety and efficiency but if I'm spending this much money on something, I want it to look good. Otherwise I would buy a Smart.
Do they remind you of something?

I grew up with this in the garage:

I think it would pair well with either SF's Forbisher or Fanch's Ventura
Each to their own. Once, in a moment of boredom, I counted 128 things that today's cars have that mine doesn't. When I showed the list to the garage proprietor who takes car of my car, he said: "Well there's 128 things that can't go wrong with it."rather drive a (trouble free, economic fuel, power window, auto adjustment mirror) present day car, and buy a good diecast scale model of the antique ones for me.
