What is the smallest car you have owned?

This doesn't really count but this is my smallest. The Polaris Slingshot weighs 1,750 lbs, is registered in Washington state as a motorcycle, and is now considered an autocycle in many states. It drives like a car and you don't notice the missing back wheel - until the smoke starts rolling off the one that's there!

I think one of those would be fun to have for a couple months, or until the novelty wears off, whichever comes first.
 
Mine was a 69 VW bug that I chopped up Baha style in the mid seventies. First car I ever bought, paid $100 dollars for it with the motor disassembled in a box in the back seat. Wished I had kept it.
 
I posted my 66 Mustang but just remembered a 1977 monza spider we owned for a short time.
Better 1/2 drove it more than me.
It had the 305 , typical late 70s GM quality lol.
Ours was silver and black ,

When the novelty wears off, and it does, it's still the funnest, most entertaining ride I've ever owned. 8+ years and I've made some incredible, lifelong friends through the forums, rides and events. I've been all over the west coast, Canada 3 times, Alabama twice, and am invited on a trip to Eureka Springs, AK this fall with a like-minded group of geezers. Life is good!

In Sundre, Alberta. A bunch of these folds will be on the Eureka Springs ride.

Those Preludes were the **** back in the day. Stylish, optioned, great mileage and they ran forever. My smallest was a 66 VW Baja bug. I drove that thing off road far more than on. I also owned a 78 Scirocco and an 84 Isuzu Impulse in the somewhat small category. Both were fun cars, but the Scirocco ran and cornered much harder. The Scirocco is the car I was driving in 1987 when I got married. I don't have it anymore, but I still have the wife!

Do those come with a tendency to over eat?

What, there's no bellies at the Mopar tent?

I think it's more the midwest demographic and the age.
You must have missed the 23 year old on the right and the 84 year old across from him with the yellow hat.:lol:

It was hard to see them with the 2 offensive linemen in the foreground.
 
A Dodge Neon, that I bought new. Was a Great commuter, and good on gas. Also a Dodge Caliber, that was a real step up from the Neon, but I didn't need such a Nice car to drive back and forth to work, especially in NY winters, and the Crappy roads, so that went, in lieu of an Old XJ...
