@delores You're trying to sell me a Lamborghini when I just need a 3CV. It's cool, fast, picks up girls, every piece fits efortlessly where it needs to go, it can reach 300km/h, it's all around a handcrafted marvel of modern engineering. Now, how often will I get to drive at >130km/h? If I need a car to haul groceries and small cargo or move around five people over uneven roads, the Lamborghini, for all it's speedy greatness, is objectively terrible. I'm better off with a rusty Ford Falcon from the late '60s. Sure, the door doesn't close at first try, the wheels are a bit misaligned, sometimes the radiator leaks, and the mirror is held with wire. It can also go over bumps without issue, has enough space to carry a washing machine, 6 people fit in it, and if I end up in a ditch I can just push it onto the road again, kick a few parts into place, and drive back home. The Lamborghini would be wasted.
