I like it! I'd make that my saturday night dinner and movies car! :mg:
The Aztec doesn't look too bad running 32's and a color other than yellow.
You all will have to excuse my tastes, remember I drive a HenryJ.

Most of the ugly ducklings are just in need of a few mods to bring out the swan in them.

Twin turbocharged 500 caddy would do the job :mg:

I would be scared to death, have you tried to look through the windshield in the pic. It reminds me of those funhouse mirrors.

After seeing some of the other entries, I doubt this would even make top 10. Still, I couldn't resist.

Wasn't one of those in American Graffiti? That is enough coolness to exempt it from something like this ;)

Come to think of it, you're right. I guess I should withdraw my nomination based on that. It's been a long time since I saw that movie! They really aren't that bad looking, in a quirky sort of way.

I knew someone who had a Citroen "Deux Chevaux". It was a blast to ride around in. If I remember, they don't weigh much (3 fairly large guys can pick one up and walk away with it) and have a air-cooled 2 cylinder that cranks out around 15-20hp. It was only good for maybe 45mph but got almost 50 miles to the gallon around town. With the price of gas these days, I wish I could find one.

Me too. That is about what my bike gets. The VW bug was originally slated for a 2 cyl. 2 cycle engine. The problems led them to install the air cooled 4 cylinder instead while research continued. They never did get the 2 cycle engine for it that was promised. I think it was Wolfsburg's plan?

I think the very early prototypes may have had a 2 cycle but I'm not sure. I have some books on VW's somewhere that may say but I have no clue where they are. One of these days, I really have to get back to cleaning the basement before the wife makes me live in that mess down there!

They did, however there was a problem with the cases becoming liquid ;) They melted down, and I think it was Wolfsburg , or perhaps Porsche who vowed to solve the problem, but it never came to be.
