It helps you see the corners of the car easier. The W140 S-Class had a similar feature on the rear of the car because it was so big.

Love this in my i3. That being said, I like the suicide doors, not because they are convenient, because they are actually less convenient in tight spots, but because of how open it feels when it's all open. I also like the eucalyptus wood interior trim:

I wish toggle switches would make it into more cars. So satisfying.

Agreed and the throbbing starter button in the mini is cool.

Ah yes! I forgot about that when I had my F56S.

DETRoadster 's recent purchase reminded me of the FJ Cruiser's triple wiper setup...



And actually, now that it's up there in the picture, also the running lights that are integrated into the side mirrors.

Those 3 wipers cant make up for the wackiness of the Delica we sold to buy the FJ but the added reliability on long drives will be nice.

The Deli will always have a special place in my heart. One of the best and worst vehicles I've ever owned, which automatically makes it the best.

It looks like if you hit the brakes hard enough it would do a stoppie

Nice Solo Stove, too! I've got their Titan for quick boils for coffee and the like at camp, but would really like one of their Yukon setups for the house. They just work too well.

Yeah except the single piston brakes sucked! Mash the brakes hard at 50 MPH and hold on for dear life, praying you can modulate them well enough to not lock up the very light rear end. Do it right and you'll stop in about 2x the distance of any modern econobox and about 3x the distance of a performance oriented vehicle. Panic stops are terrifying in that thing. Thankfully it's slow enough that you generally don't find yourself following anyone too closely, except maybe in Amish country.

Solostove FTW! Love that damn thing. We find ourselves putting it in the middle of an existing campfire ring so even if there's a fire pit, we use it anyway. So much easier to light and get going and it burns 99.9% of the wood. Very efficient.
