The Future of Roads May Be in Lego-type Construction

  • THX1136 It's good knowing a purchase decision was well made. Glad to hear it's been a good car for you, Corey! May the good times continue to roll.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I like bright red, like Ford's "Race Red" with black accents/trim on hot hatches. A distant second would be a lighter school bus yellow, like on a 90s Land Rover Discovery Camel Trophy edition.
  • KOKing The color has to look right on the car first and foremost, but given the choice, I'll pick the not-bland color every time.
  • Redapple2 Like the color but would never buy. Gladiator? Love them. (but some say they drive super wonky?)
