Scotland Yard posted a pic of their gay pride car on their Facebook page. Of course it would be an i3.

Beautifully overpriced, just like London.
Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.
Nazism, edgism, dogmatic statements, most of Abrahamic-derived morality (esp. as law), welfare for those not in need.
We are not Albania and I am not Albanian, FFS!
Male, gearhead, classic rock fan, gamer, agnostic.
Not sure if left-libertarian, ex-libertarian or without a damn clue.

Been binging Goodwood revival videos on YouTube for no reason. Watching modern F1 cars get twitchy on the driveway it kind of hypnotizing.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

For a 'little' over $2 million you could own the only Tucker convertible.

I am generally opposed to owning a car I can't drive, but that's pretty cool. I don't know what level of 'insanely rich' I'd have to be to consider it, but there is nothing in my life that will lead to that question ever being answered so I'm cool.

Not that I will ever own it, but if I did I would love to pull into my local cruise night and just watch jaws drop.

It'd be cool to cruise in top down to Bob's Big Boy on a Friday night. #1 question guaranteed to be "Is that real?"

What do you consider to be the best year in the history of motoring?

I am torn between 2016 and 1990, and ultimately choose 1990.

There was a wide variety of cool stuff: highly-engineered quality luxury cars (LS400, E32, Town Car, XM, introduced Mercedes W140), cheap offroaders, like the Samurai or Feroza, cheap performance machines like the C4 Corvette or Mk2 MR2, high-end super/hypercar experiments like the F40, XJR15 or Cizeta-Moroder V16t, or just plain well-engineered ordinary cars by the likes of Honda, Volkswagen Group or Mercedes-Benz.

1957. It's a year of complete and total icons. Porsche Speedster, Bel Aire, Thunderbird, 300SEL Gullwing, Metropolitan, TR-3, MG-A, Big Healeys, Ferrari 250 TR, Jaguar XK-140, Frog Eyed Sprite, BMW 507, Maserati 3500GT and 300S, Lotus 7 and 11, American specials discovered fiberglass and started making cars like the Devin SS. It was a gorgeous year for design.

I agree, but you left out one of the best of that year, the Jaguar XKSS:

RIP Auto Industry Legend: Lee Iacocca, dead at 94.

The article is a good summary of his legacy in the automotive industry, working as an executive at both the Ford Motor Company and the Chrysler Corporation, known for the Ford Mustang, and the K-Car platform that made many Plymouth, Dodge, and Chrysler sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, and minivans.
