I originally planned to Autopian Ask ya’ll about your Thanksgiving road-trip plans and/or any past holiday-haul adventures, but it turns out Matt already posed that as his Big Question in yesterday’s Morning Dump:
Are you hitting the road this Thanksgiving? How long of a drive, and what are you taking?
… so there goes THAT idea. But do feel free to reply to Matt’s Q here if you missed it yesterday. There are no rules, man.
Still, I needed to come up with a new question, and thankfully, The Bishop came through: “The FC RX-7 is the cranberry sauce of cars. It just sits there and nobody understands how good it is. What other cranberry sauce cars are there?”
See, that’s a good question. I suppose it could have been just “what are some under-appreciated cars,” but a cranberry-sauce car feels like something a little more special. A car that is a little sweeter, a little tangier than a merely good, underloved car. And for sure, the FC RX-7 is a great one. Just look at these two Bring a Trailer examples:
Pretty great, right? While all pop-up headlights are fantastic by default, the FC’s have a neat trick. When stowed, the lamps can be flashed through those clear-lensed slots in the nose, so you can let the left-lane bandit ahead of you know that you’d like to spin up the 13B’s dual rotors. Neat!
How about going topless? Those taught 1980s body lines make it easy to clip the roof off without goofing up the styling, and in black with those wheels? Saucy, indeed.
Your turn: what cranberry-sauce cars would you like to feast on?
