The slightly larger and more expensive alternative to a 10AE Miata, i.e. blue exterior and interior.	This has some serious off-road chops and the orange compliments the two blues perfectly.	I have always loved the look of these. Do they ride smooth? The name says Turismo, so here’s hoping.

If my parents had made a lot of money this car would have been my high school graduation present.	If I had made a lot of money this would have been my retirement present to myself.	If my godparents had made a lot of money they would have bought this new as a gift for my parents.

I don’t think that I would actually want to own any of these cars, but once I stumbled on to the “Only a Mother Could Love” purple Jag, I just had to do a color themed option.

There are a few other (1, 2 & 3) nice Miatas this week, but this is the one I’d pick.	This is a big beast, but I chose it solely based on the cool 70’s vibe striping.	The touring car winner, I can feel myself wallowing down the road in it now.

If this was matte black instead of Maronne Apus (AKA dark gray) it could be confused with a Batmobile.	Ford’s Wrangler competitor, it’s optioned up compared to the base Bronco, but $60k!	This is a big car. It doesn’t look it in this picture, but it is almost 3 feet longer than a 1956 Thunderbird.

These cars, while very interesting, are not the most interesting of the cars available right now on BAT, this 1981 Honda Prelude 5-Speed is because of the personal connection, in 1981 we bought a new Prelude. We had our choice of maroon or this blue and we picked the maroon over blue because we didn’t want a white interior (the maroon car had a maroon interior.)

It was between this and a 2016 Boxster, also in orange, but the 914 is just the right size.	With Wranglers, FJs and Defenders to chose from I think the Defender 90 would the winner.	I bet this wouold not be the best cross-country tourer, but I’d live with it happily because of the way it looks.

Ferrari people don’t think this is a real sports car, but what do they know?	This thing is bonkers. It’s like a toy car. Where do I mount the bicycles?	These cars are nicknamed Shoebox Fords, I don’t see it, but what do I know?
