When we were children the Saturday morning cartoons and chapter books promised us that the future would be full of futuristic space cars and shit, but here we are in 2023 driving each day through a dreadful hellscape of bland greyscale crossovers. You can be the change you want to see in the world, or in the streets at least, by buying and then driving the heck out of this extremely rare car from 1985 that looks like a cross between a Star Wars spacecraft and an adult relationship-aid toy.
