Rare Rides: The 2003 Lancia Thesis - Questionable Styling and Legality Comes Standard

Rare Rides occasionally features vehicles that have somehow slipped through the 25-year importation net and exist in this country as illegal immigrants. First up was a little Citroën Picasso hatchback from Arizona, and more recently we featured a bright orange Fiat Barchetta from Florida.

Today we venture into illegality once more, with the luxurious and beautiful Lancia Thesis from 2003.

James Jones The only thing that concerns ,me is a government-mandated back door--you get in and your car drives you to the police station where yo are arrested for crimes against the state, or "you can't drive because we must achieve our energy conservation goals". Not to mention that once there's a back door, any sufficiently smart person can use it--you can't create a back door only usable by those whose hearts are true. So then there'd be the risk of someone telling my self-driving car to drive off the side of a mountain/into a river/etc.
3-On-The-Tree Jeff I also have a 1980 Suzuki GS1000G I rode during college and it was a lot of fun. My other bike was a 1977 Suzuki GT 750 2 stroke. My post army retirement time will be restoring those old bikes next to the 02 Hayabusa, 05 Suzuki Vstrom and klr 650. I love riding but at much reduced speeds nowadays. I got it out of my system as a young flight Lieutenant.
Canam23 I really like the Rivian, but no matter what it's payload is, it will be completely weighed down by smugness if they team up with Apple.

Kwik_Shift_Pro4X The main advice I've heard is to stay away from the BMW engine.
