A dozen orphaned vehicles we'd love to park in our garages

Brankin . . . for goodness sake . . pst the rest !

I suspect we are in god company.

Tell me the Renault LeCar is NOT on the liot. Once tagged the "worst car ever . . who's only saving grace was a heated rear window so your hands would stay warm while you were pushing it home"

I still want a Yugo, ideally one of their convertibles. Then to drop the body on a frame/chassis for a twin turbo Mazda rotary or something. Stupid funnin... I once worked for a woman who had a Yugo, it was a great car... reliable, just obviously a Yugo. Drove it down to below Atlanta to see the White Duke and Trent Reznor, double bill headliner show.

Fun times.

My old riding buddy and I went in an Indian dealer just to kill some time. They were brand new at the time and there were several Victory's on the floor. I was looking at a Victory when the salesman walked up and asked me if I was interested in it. I told him I already had a red headed step child, I really don't want another! He asked what I had and I said, a Buell. He just answered, "Oh."

I see a 53 Hudson Hornet (center, bottom row), so Buell and EBR are in good company!

Except there was NEVER an XB12S. It was always the XB12Ss. : )

Mine is a XB12S.

XB12S - lightning
XB12Ss - lightning long ("stretched")
XB12Scg - lightning low ("center of gravity")
XB12STT - lightning Super TT (mini-Uly)

...I think that was the whole 1200cc Lightning family...

I don't remember the XB12S. My mistake...

Sucks getting old...

Yep - the S was the 52" wheelbase Firebolt twin, but naked (no fairing, bigger seat). Scg was 52" but lowered. Ss and STT were 54". And actually, in '09 or '10, the Ss BECAME the STT when it got the taller suspension of the STT (same 54" wheelbase, just sat up higher like the Uly).

Getting old beats the alternative...

Guess I'm biased since I had an XB12Ss. : )

@Hughlysses "I see a 53 Hudson Hornet (center, bottom row), so Buell and EBR are in good company!"

I can remember when my dad bought a '52 Hudson Wasp brand new. My sister and I were just little tikes at the time, and on our annual summer pilgrimage from Cincinnati OH to visit Crazy Aunty Barb in Sarasota FL (pre-interstate days so 2 1/2 day travel time on 2-lane roads) we would take turns riding on the rear window package shelf. Of course, that was WAY before seat belts. Somehow managed to survive....guess Dad was a great driver!

Icantdrive55: Did your Wasp have a little stoplight on the back deck? My grandmother had one, and I thought it was so cool: red when braking, yellow when coasting, green under acceleration.
