Well the reality of it is this car is a pretty rare one-off car made in France that hasn't been sold in the US since 1989 I bought it out of Napa in 2013 it was in a boat yard parking lot and the owner of the vehicle lived in a boat and his dog lived in this car and the interior was completely ruined and destroyed and It had a piece of plywood for the back window and nothing and I mean nothing inside the car worked unless you consider twisting wires together to get the windows to go up and down I would consider that pretty fucking mint this car is special to me because it's rare I have its exact twin in a turbocharged version that I'm restoring it's been to a multitude of radwood car show Concours d'lemons car shows and car and meets it's never left me on the side even though I've driven it from Sacramento area to Los Angeles six times now on a set of finest 7 year old Chinese rubber that somebody gave me even though it's engine puts out as much horsepower as a Honda accord \r
4 cylinder and was built by peugeot Renault and Volvo combined the same gutless turd of an engine that propels a DeLorean from 0 to almost barely just 80 miles an hour this odd fire V6 engine never left me stranded always starts I've beat it off the rev-limiter mobile multiple times and has propelled the sketchy 1980s French box to about a hundred and 130 miles an hour before I got scared and backed off at this point in its life it's been driven multiple times in 110 degree Sacramento heat never overheated and the air conditioning blows air cold enough to keep me from sweating into my fake leather seat this car is very pure to me I think it's pretty well Factory in that its something from the late 1980s built in France and then shipped over on a boat can somehow still function as a daily driver although to be 100% honest I don't daily drive it anymore I have a Subaru for that not because I don't think it will break down because it's too fucking hard to get any parts for it if I can get anything it has to come directly from France in a shoe box with a baguette next to it this car also come standard with a glass of cheap wine and some smelly cheese and even know it's French and white it has never surrendered on me and ran away that's what makes this car special to me
