What An Amphibious Car Wears In A Lake: COTD

The trunk is a vital part of your car that you probably don’t think too much about beyond its holding capacity. I mean, where else are you going to place your suitcase, booze, and cement shoes? Thankfully, Jason thinks about the parts of a car that the rest of us ignore on a daily basis.

Jason wrote about the weird bottom-hinged trunks of the past. That alone is fascinating, but if you want a good laugh, head to the comments. Canopysaurus:

So what did Amphicars have, swimming trunks?

Urban Runabout:

I prefer my cars with speedos.

Our weekend writer, Beverly, wrote about how Ford accidentally revealed a cat alongside a refreshed SUV. Space:

Would this be considered a cat delete?

David has realized that being a parent is no joke and sold another vehicle, this time his 1954 Willys CJ-3B, which he called his coolest car. NC Miata NA:

Autopian 2042: I’m going to try to fix the 50 year old husk of my first Jeep as a high school graduation present for my son, can I get it running again in a week?

David also mentioned possibly getting a fence to keep the coyotes at bay. Dodsworth:

I hear Acme makes several products that should chase off coyotes.

Yesterday, we asked you about the hidden gems of the car world. Rippstik:

Volvo C30. It’s one of those cars that people kind of forget about until they see one. They are AWESOME. Turbo, 5 cyl, manual option. You can even get them in Swedish Racing Green (Rebel aka Polestar Blue).

They are quick, comfy, and pretty solid reliability-wise. Totally overlooked.

JTilla:

6-speed v6 honda accord coupe. Totally undervalued and not as popular as it should be. I own one though.

Bruno Ealo:

The Mazda MX-3 with a V6. I saw a very clean one the other day and forgot what a cool little ride they are.

Have a great evening, everyone!
