Ah yes... The 2cv... France's short notice answer to the Jeep in WWII. It amazes me how much equipment they would fit on these things - even mine clearing drums. Not to mention the 4x4 version that had a front AND rear ENGINE! They're beautifully simplistic - in the apocalypse you'll not only be one of the first with a running vehicle, you'll be doing roadside repairs with a leather belt and a screwdriver... *approving nod*

I used to work for a guy who imported a bunch, always thought they were neat but really fell in love when I got to work on/drive a bunch of them. This one came up last spring for a VERY good price and I bought it to resell but uhhh... I kinda love it too much.
I took it to the store to pick up a workbench I bought online, only to realize the measurements listed for the packaging were WAYYYY off.
Unclipped the passenger seat and stuck it in the trunk, rolled the roof back and dropped it in.
Also I got my Google "we're stalking you, here's a travel report" email a few weeks back and it mentioned I covered 3300 km by motorcycle this year. I haven't been on a bike since 2006 so I was curious- it's when you're travelling at highway speeds but excessive lean in corners is detected by your smartphone. AKA, 2CV miles.
