      Still the most expensive car made on earth, and very low mileage.

        And to think, it was the low bid.

          Low bid was an electric scooter.

          Well it wasn’t made on Jupiter, regardless of its current parking situation.

    “Vintage” is 1919 to 1930, which disqualifies the vast majority of microcars, but not the Custer Car:

    I’ve always liked the Champion, but then I like the look of Borgward Rennwagens and Audi TT mk1s. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60bec755f4ac04e3ac183a60b75e27f3b3a2053828076c083f2956c2fcbcaf33.jpg

      And you still look less ridiculous than behind the wheel of a TT
