In praise of the lowly Nash Metro


Manly men will surely be attracted to the Buick in my friend Mike Berry's Wichita Eagle story today, but being a squirrelly, apparently girlie-guy myself, I most love the Nash Metropolitan in the article. Those Metros were the perfect cartoon cars. To me they remain underpriced in the old car market. There's something about their look that just seems to be the primal essence of car to me in a simplified-cartoony sort of way. But they ain't macho, that's for damn sure. Call me girlie-man.

Richard -- That is one of the coolest cars I've seen in a long while -- and they actually let me drive it! So I guess I'm a bit of a girlie-man, too!
