I'm just the opposite. I like a car that looks like all the others with maybe a few distinguishing features like no badges but I like it to go like smoke like none of the others and have all the toys that the others don't have. My unusual cars have always pulled the cops but interestingly I got pulled a lot in an old Metro I once had.

This is why i like the Jimny. In the company i choose to keep it is by far the most ordinary and unremarkable whereas the choices of my friends are really unique and individual which to my mind is almost asking for the wrong kind of attention.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
Bellerophon (2024 grello van daily
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!

But among other "normal" cars it's different lol
I don't mean I like cars with bling or wide wheels or big engines just a car that is not the faceless hatchback.
I've done the mini/beetle/2cv/american car stuff and apart from classic cars most these days could be any make/model at a distance and you have to look at the badge to see what it is.
I reckon it all went downhill with the "jellymould" Sierra lol

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

That's partly the reason that I bought my Civic type S gt. The design is over 10 years old now and is still unique.

Its not financially viable although batteries from cars are usually replaced before all the cells are dead and can be often used in solar applications which extends their life for a while.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
