Like last week’s Sport pick, it is basically a VW Beetle with a swoopy body. 😉	Don’t see a lot of Ladas for sale here and there is probably a good reason.	I can’t really explain this pick, maybe it was just the photograph of the car.

I was so into watching a show I found on Apple TV+ called Bad Sisters that I totally missed the fact that it was Monday, my normal SORT day, so today I’ve picked cars that are sort of bad sisters of a good car.
It is basically a VW Beetle with a swoopy body.	This is a 3/4-ton GM truck with a derivative body.	It looks like a 911 converted into a limo.

Sport	Off-Road	Touring
1955 Lancia Aurelia	1996 Land Rover Discovery	1965 Ford Thunderbird
All these cars are listed as No Reserve so there might be a bargain to be had here. But probably not the Lancia because it is also a Premium listing.

Here is what last week’s cars sold for, or bid to (if the reserve was not met):

Sport	Off-Road	Touring
2022 Porsche Boxster	1960 Porsche Tractor	1991 Porsche 928
The first two generations of the Boxster were too bathtubby looking, but this 4th gen looks right.	I’ll probably never go trail running, rock crawling or slick rock driving, maybe I’ll take up farming.	Call me crazy for picking a 30-year old Porsche with a 150 thousand miles on it, I won’t mind.
