QOTD: What’s Your Automotive Guilty Pleasure?

I would never own a brown diesel all-wheel drive manual wagon. Never. I don't care if I'm chastised by the inner circle of automotive know-it-alls by denouncing the auto journo unicorn. A brown diesel all-wheel drive manual wagon is the equivalent of gearhead hipsterdom. I'm not a fan of hipsters. They put way too much thought and effort into looking like bums and enjoying things no sensible human could actually enjoy.

But, I do have one guilty pleasure: white Broncos. Yes, the Al Cowlings Special. I've owned one and would have another in a heartbeat. They're slow, loud, drink gas like an art degree dropout consumes PBR, and they're prone to break in the most magnificent of ways possible. They also epitomizes the "bigger is better" attitudes of the '90s, whether said thing was truly better or not.

Yet, there's nothing you can do to change my mind. My want is irrational and I'm not going to defend it.

There are other cars that, if you like them, will automatically invalidate your automotive equivalent of the man card. Like the Aveo. It's not because they don't fit some social norm within our own bubble. It's because, for a wide variety of reasons, there are better options out there on practically every level for the same price.

So, Best & Brightest, car-centric tropes aside, what is your automotive guilty pleasure?
