Personal pref: small SUV / crossover before another sedan (hard to clamber in and out of those things at my age), or a truck (poor fuel economy). If I were still commuting and had the money, I’d have an electric (already have the 220 outlet in the garage, welder’s no longer around). Electric trucks, Rivian before Cybertruck due to styling.

[snip] Chrysler built a wind tunnel at the Highland Park site, and tested at least 50 scale models by April 1930. Their engineers found that then-current two-box automobile design was so aerodynamically inefficient that it was actually more aerodynamic when tested as if being driven backwards. [/snip]

We have a lot of Cybertrucks around here.

Owners have taken to customizing them with different paint jobs and they look really cool.

The plain stainless steel is kinda boring.

I’ve seen Red ones, Blue Ones and a Green Stylized one that has an old time ‘Woody’ look.

One owner painted theirs Jet Black, I don’t know why..............
