International BAT Appreciation Day has nothing to do with Bring A Trailer itself, but it has everything to do with showing our flying and mostly nocturnal friends some love. As well as an opportunity to delve deep and learn the important role bats play in the ecosystem and biodiversity.

I was considering buying one of these, but then the Miata happened.	I rode in one of these once and didn’t really like it, but it is growing on me.	I drove one of these back in 200 on a Susan Komen Ultimate Drive. Very nice.

A neutered Dodge Viper, no V-10, used in a TV show in the early Nineties that has no title and probably never registerable.	A military vehicle made in Austria that was used by the Swiss Armed Forces that may or may not be registered in your state.	This one can be registered for street use, but there is a warrant out for its destruction issued by the Automotive Taste Police.

Not exactly the sportiest, but it is open-air and has red brake calipers.	No one ever has taken one of these off-roading, but I’m surely going to.	The name spells it out and its got a big trunk, just don’t ask about reliability.

I have wanted one of these ever since I drove one of a friend of mine’s back in June of 2018.	If we sold our house we could probably afford this. But we would still have a place to live…	Perfect for seeing the country on an extended road trip or as just the perfect grocery getter.

A lot of times when doing this on Monday I am just picking out interesting cars or ones I think might be cool to own. This week I chose cars that I would really own. The Miata is nearly identical to the previous Miata that Donna and are still carrying a torch for, but with 155,000 fewer miles. With a Miata in the garage we don’t need another convertible, so instead of a Wrangler, the Cherokee fits the bill. I have to admit the BMW is more of a dream because it is the perfect hot rod sleeper and kind of a halo car that probably go for more than 3 times what the other 2 cars combined will go for.

I’m too lazy to make up any fancy words for these cars. Maybe next week’s selections will fare better.

Nothing to see here because last week was all t-shirts and they were priced at either twenty-four or twenty-seven dollars.
