Cars That Make You Smile :-)

In the upcoming Get Smart movie it is an Alpine but the original Series it was a Sunbeam Tiger.

I'd love to have either.

My favorite is definitely not Environmently Friendly though. It is however a work of art.

 

i like small cars, these are ones i dont own but make me smile for sure

bmw isetta


lotus elite


honda fit

 

I love the Tango but am not sure how to post pic. Very fast and electic. What makes me smile is the VW "Thing" and the AMC "Pacer".

 

I hope the driver of that Smart car has a burly friend to help him lift it out of the parking spot.

 

I know this is off topic, but "Get Smart" made me think of it. I was at the movies last night to see "Nim's Island" with my son (good movie) and I saw a preview for a NEW INDIANA JONES MOVIE!! OMG!! I LOVE Indiana Jones!! EEEEK!!! :jaw:I almost threw my bra. My first crush was Hans Solo. I guess I'm a total geek, but I don't care...

I just loved the Indiana Jones movies. That girl in the classroom with "Love you" on her eyelids - I could totally relate. I can't believe there is a NEW one. I saw the long preview. It looks awesome... I have all the Indiana Jones movies on Video and DVD; they are excellent films. Lust aside - excellent movies.

Okay. Sorry for the deviation. Back to the cars...

 

sorry...double post...guess I got carried away. Not my fault...Indiana Jones...

 

My choice would be a 1981 Celica GT which was the first car I owned.

 

Every time I see this one I smile:


However, this one puts a BIG smile on my face:

 

My mechanic that works on my cars has one of these. He works on a lot of old odd cars and he has a pretty good collection of micro cars including 4 or 5 Isetta. Everytime i am up there I have to go in his back storage area it is like a museum there could be amphibicars, Sunbeams, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, old jaguars, austin healeys, MGs he always has at least 1 MG and triumphs too, Aston Martins, Lotus etc. He can work on just about older car. What surprises me is how many of thes odd and exotic cars are in this area.

This was built by Messerschmitt in the late 50's and early 60's. Pretty cool little car. instead of a steering wheel it has what looks more like a yoke from an airplane.

 

I think the Aptera's my new favourite, too. Or maybe the Lotus Exige. Not that I'm likely to ever ride in either one of them, much less own one...

My daily driver makes me smile every time I drive it. Sometimes I'm in a sour mood when I set out, but the first person who smiles or waves at me brings back the smile. Sometimes it's not until the third or fourth person I pass that I get a reaction, now that my car is known to so many of the locals. But there's one kid who always waves and shouts and gives me the hi-sign every time I drive by him. People seem to love my car, and I do too, and it really puts a smile on my face. What's funny is that some folks here on PriusChat have posted about negative reactions to the Prius from other drivers. I get positive reactions to my Xebra from 99% of the people who react at all.

 

how about ones that just make u LOL!!!

 

You mean like this one ? This was my first car and it still makes me smile that I was so stupid and gullible to buy it...
