1st Gen Ford Explorer Sport. We had a dark green '92 XLT as a kid. I always thought it would be cool to have had a 2-door even though they make no practical sense at all. Maybe not the most embarrassing car, but not what I think most people would consider cool or a "looker."

There's an inherent coolness about that. (Just needs bigger wheels imo)
I think we need a forum cool wall!

Holden Commodore VL turbo. used a nissan RB30ET engine. smooth as silk and could make huge power. Handled like a drunk race horse.

Yeah def not. That's an amazing machine. It's a 500E though just to be technically correct. Dad had one, I am looking for one. That or the big boy 190. Nothing embarrassing about either of those, in their day they were the best thing in the road.

Speaking of oddball combos - wasn't there a Toyota that was co developed with Winnebago?

I was going to mention this as well. It did start as the 500E but was changed to E500 when MB made their nomenclature change in the mid-90s.

Yep, you guys are right. I thought it started when the new round headlamp E came out, forgot they made the change a year or two before.

Yeah...but I am comparing to the 135. And it doesn't handle all that well but I am working on it.

And yeah I would love an XJR...but my Vanden Plas was $700.00 and I couldn't pass it up.

My only American vehicle is an Excursion.

The rest of the fleet is 528i, MIni Cooper S, X5 3.0, E30 m50 swapped, R80, ZRX1100, XT600e, KLX250, XR200.

I once had relations with a geo metro tail pipe.

That's even worse. At least the regular juke isn't trying to be cool.

KingOfJericho · 10-12-2017, 08:57 AM

Yeah, a juke, regardless of trim level or form, definitely belongs on the embarrassing list.

Red Bread · 10-12-2017, 10:10 AM

Is a Juke with a GTR powertrain really any uglier than a GTR?

maniz · 10-12-2017, 11:52 AM

Since we're talking embarrassing crushes, this certainly qualifies for me:

Hey now. Sticking a banana in one (or was it a potato?) doesn't qualify as 'relations' ... though that doesn't mean it wasn't fun ...
