please i need to know what this thing is

This car is a 2009-2011 Nissan Cube Rider, a sporty version tuned by Autech.

See: Rider body kit,

lack of a Cube rear badge (likely in favor of a Rider badge),

general body shape

hmm. conversely, most ADHD car?

(A dab o' context for y'all, this ask came hot off the heels of my most autistic car post, hence the "conversely".)

Well, when I read this, I had nothing. But then I thought about it a little, and suddenly, I continued to have nothing.

But you already know that, dear asker, because you're in the blog's Discord server which I turned to for suggestions. And in fact, you chipped in yourself with not one but two picks, first of which the fifth generation Ford Mustang!

So, pray tell, what brings my elementary school self's favorite car ever ever into this list?

uhh from like a cultural view its an unfocused and hyperactive car with a reputation of not going the way people want (see: crowd meme)

Oh, come on, are we really still not over that stereotype whereby late model Mustangs are owned by people both too eager to show off not to leave a car meet flooring it and too inept to actually keep it under control when they do?

Well, I guess to get over it it'll need to stop being true.

But also, being so much of an exhibitionist as to cause physical pain is not about ADHD at all!

Anyone I invite at my house gets bored to tears with a tour of my every possession...

...but not because I have ADHD!

Actually, you know what? That may really be it now that I think about it. Well, anyway, your submission is funny enough to earn a pass even if we don't see eye to eye on this anyway.

How about your second, though?

alternatively: late '90s to early 2000s tuner Civic, for the same reasons

While he included this picture, he advised to use a worse example, so I took the liberty to present you a historical picture.

I say historical because this picture was the definition of rice, the textbook example. If Wikipedia had a page for "rice (automotive)" it would feature this picture, probably second behind that blue early 90s Civic which in hindsight we were all wrong about and was actually sick.

Did you know this was made by a teenager out of metal? I'm digressing.

Friend of the blog (well, pillar of the blog at this point) @demoness-one agrees and suggests:

Honestly riced out clapped out honda civics did come to mind also But i feel like the car that most represents adhd is probably one that isn't finished lol Abstract concept of a car

But she wasn't the only one to vote for her own cars, as friend of the blog and Saturn SL1 owner @chevyventure posted a simple but effective contribution:

zero executive function between those eyes

Not as simple as friend of the blog @brick-enthusiast's, however, who just posted a Suzuki Cappuccino without comment.

In respect of that approach I will not comment either.

However, it's time to make my pick too, as in the process of writing this post I finally understood the assignment, and thus came up with something.

What's ADHD? As this blog demonstrates, sometimes it's being hyperfocused on something exciting, much to the detriment of things that actually matter in daily life. Sometimes it's said focus earning amazing results that seem disproportionate to one's means. Sometimes it's taking comfort in the routine, in deeply ingrained habits and tradition that still have to constantly be actively enforced as conscious choice. Sometimes it's being darty, shooting from point to point with speed other minds can't even keep up with. Sometimes it's having too much energy to contain. Sometimes it's... being loud? Oh really! I thought I was just being Italian!

And if you've read my 100th post, you'll know a car that fits that description to a T. (And if you haven't, click on here before reading on because you really want to.)

Indeed, what could be a better pick than a car that's stayed the same for nigh on seven decades in its devoted preservation of its ability to dart around like nothing else on the road, a car so perfromance-focused the comfort spec is the one that gets windows, a car not one bit less deafening than legally required? What could be a better pick than the Caterham Seven 620R, the literal world record holder for spinning around in circles?

And also just look at it.

If you're wondering about the number plate, it was made to celebrate its Lego version - yes indeed!

And if you can believe it, people still gifted me clothes for Christmas.

Most ADHD car?

5th gen Ford Mustang

Tuner-spec 5th gen Honda Civic

A car you're definitely getting around to fixing

2000 Saturn SL1

I love your blog!! I have a question too, what would you say is your favourite racing series?

thanks! to be fully honest, in terms of standard track racing, i love the 24 hours of lemons lol. idk i’ve never really been one of the “traditional” “professional” racing stuff and love the diy nature of lemons. that being said as i’ve been reading up on their roots and seeing them be super openly progressive in the face of their reputation i’ve been getting more and more interested in nascar!

i also really like gymkhana, drifting, drag racing, and im dabbling in rally a bit

Hello Car Friends, I have no photo of this but I'm hoping you can help. I saw a teeny tiny truck on the highway yesterday (USA) that looked like a prettier cousin of a Subaru Baja (my favorite car in the world). What could it have possibly been? It was white, four-doored, half size truck bed, short/low rider, possibly a Ford but it was going too fast to see.

Do you consider the Subaru Baja itself to be teeny tiny?

If so, @spooky-fubuki suggests the 2021-present Ford Maverick...

...the 2001-2004 crew cab version of the second generation Chevrolet S-10...

...and the 2001-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac...

...and @brick-enthusiast suggests the 2021-present Hyundai Santa Cruz.

Was it an older vehicle? If so, @brick-enthusiast also suggests the 1980-1988 Chevrolet LUV, sold elsewhere as the Isuzu Faster seen here in red since photos of this model are very few and far between.

Was this near a border? If near the Mexican one, it may be a vehicle sold in Mexico - @notyouiguess suggests the 2020-present Fiat Strada, sold as RAM 700 there.

If near the Canadian one, it could have been a vehicle 15 years or older imported from another country - the American law only allows importing vehicles upon them turning 25.

Did it resemble a conventional truck, was it more similar to a sedan bodystyle like @tumblehcendrum's suggestion of the 2004-2007 Holden Crewman...

...(currently under the 25 year old threshold, though as noted by blog counterpart @things-about-cars-in-posts in a post explaining the origin and definition of this body style, known as 'ute', at least one has been seen in the US featuring parts from the Pontiac GTO, stateside edition of the Holden Monaro the Crewman was based on)...

...or not really close to either, like his other suggestions of the 2000-2001 Toyota bB Open Deck...

...and the Daihatsu Hijet Deck Van?

Are you up for a joke suggestion? If so, @demonessss brings this up.

Even if none of these were it, answering the above questions, noting similarities and differences with the above suggestions and which were closest and farthest should significantly narrow the search down!

Here’s a few more photos of the mystery beige ford!! It ended up parked beside me in the lot today so I was able to get a better look. Hope the angles aren’t too weird, tried to avoid the license plate and didn’t have a ton of room to maneuver on the side

Yay! These pictures would have been plenty to clock the car almost instantly. Though, by the time I got to see them, I had already spent, uh... multiple dozens of minutes looking for the model based on your additions on the original identification. In fact, this should be getting posted just after an updated ID!

That being said, this must be the most whimsical Crown Vic I've seen in a long time. Something about those flowers (and assorted other silly stickers).

to sum up, we stay winning :D
