Dink
Since the Del Sol is a small economical car and with gas prices going back up, it should sell quickly. My brother told me that they are 'collectible'. Perhaps one could sell it as a 'collectable car that gets good mpg'?

We have a 2005 Chevy Aveo hatchback,which is my wife's car; a 1994 Mazda B3000 pickup, my primary before the smart; and a 1993 Horizon MH, which is a van camper built on a full-sized GM chassis. For a long time, I drove the van to work & my wife got the truck...... until we bought her the Aveo. Then the van sat in the driveway. Now..... the van AND the truck sit in the driveway, and I drive smartie to work and anywhere else we need to go.......unless we take our dogs, then we HAVE to take the Aveo or the van. Our Great Dane wouldn't EVEN fit in smartie! :>) The truck I'll probably sell this spring after doing some landscaping and hauling. OR....... trade with a guy I know for a new driveway! :>)

Let's see:

There's a 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8, with a few significant mods. Average MPG is 14 city / 22 highway. Zero to 60 in a little over 4 seconds.

A 1929 Ford 2 Door Sedan street rod. Average MPG is 10 - 12 no matter what. Zero to sixty in about 5 seconds.

A 2006 Fleetwood Southwind Class A 33' RV. Average MPG is 6 - 7. Zero to sixty? Good question. I suspect a close race with the smart. Someday, I expect to tow the smart with this one.

That's all I have room for right now, but things are always in a state of flux. I've owned over sixty cars. I'm just a car junkie, and don't expect that to change til I'm too old & feeble to enjoy them (which might be soon) .............

We've got a Dodge Dakota (I joked that we could load up the 42 in the bed as a spare car), a Chevy Malibu and an old Ford F350 dump truck (which would hold the 42)

We keep a smart cabrio and the Phaeton in Tucson and another smart cabrio and the 600 SL in LA. We have a '93 E320 station wagon to haul our dogs and stuff between the two places that I use as my daily driver. Plus a '55 BMW and an '84 Laverda in Tucson and the Westfield kit on it's way to Az next week.

My only other car is a 2004 Nissan Murano SL. With it's CVT transmission it's a delightful car to drive and the looks are amazing. Seems like lots of other car companies think so too - look at the FORD Edge - It looks like a pimped up Murano~! - And most companies have one that looks similiar now.
Only problem is the mileage - overall average around 21mpg - so it mostly sits at home . . .

Might be the craziest in the bunch

My wife and I are retired and live in the woods of Maine. Currently the stable contains: 1) Max our 08 cab (in winter mode stored away), 2)Cat a 90 Jaguar XJS convertible (sharing space with Max), 3) Adder, a 95 Saab 900SE convertible (in winter storage at a friends house),4) Rangie an 02 Range Rover (on winter duty) 5) Gurgie an 01 Audi TT roadster (on winter duty with Rangie as he has all wheel drive and snows) and finally 6) Livingston our 99 Winnebago Rialta (currently for his great escape to FL later in the month). Btw Livingston gets by mpg than either the Jag or the Range Rover.
