Re: [RBW] Re: How would your choice of Rivish Bike carry forward to your choice of automobile?

However, I think this is a pretty Rivendellian auto:

Duesenberg.  Gorgeous, fast, MUSA, at the top of their game.

I have a Kia Rondo, which while unexciting as can be, conforms to the idea
of having one bike for every purpose.  I've hauled everything from people
to (2) bikes with both wheels attached to 20 8 foot sections of 2x4's,
about 50 paver stones, trees, tools, paint, mulch, etc.  It has a 4
cylinder and gets 22-24 mpg around town, 26-27 on the highway.  Not economy
car great but not full size SUV horrible either.
