Interesting indeed.  I know a few people with Rivians, and they love them.

I thought it looked pretty cool with trees in the background. 

Sad to see that those were discontinued.

I tried a convertible model out in a showroom in '18, it's not that small a car but I couldn't really even get into it.

Aren’t you like 6’5” or something?  I have to imagine a lot of cars aren’t exactly roomy for you.

Yup.  I couldn't even get my 13.5-size foot into a BRZ, and haven't tried a Miata at all.  
Decades ago I tried an Audi and didn't fit, but in '18 a coworker told me several of his tall friends drove them, tried one out, and they'd enlarged quite a bit over the years.  That's what I'm driving now, and I don't even have the seat all the way back!

You’ve posted this a few times now, so I’m guessing you want one.  It kind of looks like a CyberTruck, just in ATV form.

Sorry, didn’t realize I posted it already.  That is the ATV that was supposed to be sold/paired with the CyberTruck.  This was the only IRL I have seen and it was in a Tesla dealer here.  One of Elon’s famous promises.  It looked tiny and super cheap.

One thing we all noticed in Paris when we were there ('78) was the seeming complete lack of stoplights, but here I see one.  Have you noticed them at most/some/a few intersections?  

The intersections are fairly consistent with stop lights and crosswalks with cross walk lights also.  It seems the odd one will not have some sort of automated signage system controlling traffic.  The traffic and driving reminds me of a mixture of India and USA.

I can assure you the people in this survey have not replaced or know of someone who has replaced a Subaru head gasket..

I have known a few folks and after that issue, they sold a Subaru

Thanks.

Friend had one of these when we were teenagers, it cut through snow better than a 4x4. It was so heavy it got traction everywhere. Fun times.

What a beauty right there.  I would not take that ride anywhere with bicycles, mo-peds or other cars close by.

For me, that's the finest car @Ozzie_Isaac has posted to date

Teach me something.  What is that car and why do you say that?

Vintage Bentley?

That’s a 1950s vintage Aston Martin DB2/4
