The observations posted above about truck like handling and shifting couldn't be more true. The best adjective I could use to describe them is "funky". They look weird, drive weird, shift weird,etc. Even though they seem truck-like, they are tiny inside. The windows are like turrets because the sill and dash are so high and the roof so low. I can't imagine one as a daily driver. There are a few that race though.
But, they are so unique that you can't stop for gas without someone coming up and either asking what it is, or telling you everything they know about 1800s. Great way to meet chicks-it's like a puppy on wheels
! One time a georgeous beauty filling up asked if she could take pictures of mine. Naturally I obliged.
Once I was driving my ES along in my neighborhood, which is rural and the middle of nowhere when I happened upon a coupe headed in the opposite direction. I think the driver and I both got whiplash from swinging our heads around to get a better look at each other while frantically waving. I rarely see another 1800, let alone in this remote area!
