Don't say such things. If I had some space I'd love to have a 2CV or 4CV.
I have in mind adding another bay onto my garage and expanding the little
add-on on the back of the garage to full size which would allow me to move the
snowmobiles under cover, have the lawnmower and plow over there and get a car
into the bay for repairs and such. The stock I have from my employer would
nearly cover such a project right now but we also need a roof on the house and
a furnace which I guess get precedence. Someday though...

dauphines are cool. I almost bought one for my first car (it was $35) but it
had the dreaded automatic stick shift transmission and fortunately i studied it
and read about it and didn't buy it.
The 4cv was the post wwII renault made from 1947 to 1961
i guess they are common in france …. who knows now
