AND it is really ugly. I don't care for the styling of the exterior
or the dash.
I guess I am getting old. This one was built for wealthy young asian guys.

Looks like a bug someone stepped on... and black. To quote the
immortal words of Wilton, "hafta let it go!"
I'm with Randy. fugly car. I like the cars of the 60s through the
end of the 124 and 126 chassis, before the bowtie guys took over and
started hanging unreliable outdatable electronics crap all over.
(Sorry Jaime, I know you do some whizbang things, but I kinda like
the simplicity of the 110 and 123.)
Same with BMW Kraftrad. I love all the old ones up through the /7.
The R 9T is interesting, but not as pure as the older ones. The /2
with earles forks are works of art.
I may need to move to central MS and hang out with Vetch and learn
the tricks of sourcing and restoring /2 and /5/6/7 BMW Kraftrad.
Either that or I wanna restore tractors. clean and simple. The
design of tractors in the 30s (and sold into the 50s) was clean and
simple, so you don't scare away horse farmers. Once nobody farmed
with horses anymore (60s) tractors became much more complex and busy
designs.
Now JD and Ag Leader kick apple and foogle's butts on the self
driving front. JD has had self driving tractors out for 20 years.
Ag leader about as long, and Kinze is the new kid on the block.
The letter model JD and IH tractors are fun. The other brands from
that era are ok too. Fergie and AC had some innovative things.
