I had a Citroen Dyane once (like the 2CV, only squarer). One night we hit a wild boar at about 50 miles an hour an an autoroute (French Motorway).

The Boar was stunned but lived and staggered away. The car was crumpled but lived and staggered away. Don't buy one (the car, not the boar. Boars taste great in stew)

And I had a Mini Cooper, one of the new BMW ones. It's incredible how like the old mini it is, in terms of disadvantages. Underpowered, uncomfortable seats, hard ride, cramped, terrible in the winter, windscreen like a letter-box. But apart from that it's great.
