There aren't a lot of cars that are designed exclusively to brighten up everyone's day, but this Morgan 3 Wheeler is it. As soon as turned up @lakewashingtoncarsandcoffee -- it just brought a smile to the face of everyone around it.
Mike, the owner, was having the time of his life too, grinning ear-to-ear as he drove in. We ended up chatting for almost half an hour just about his brand-new (to him) ride. Nice fella.
Is it a car? Is it a motorcycle? Kinda hard to say, although looking at this... thing in person now, I can confidently say that Alex Roy was nuts for driving this car from LA to NYC and setting the Cannonball record.

Are you sick of the modern interior that is overpopulated with touchscreens? HA. This car barely has a windscreen. It also looks like it hopped in a time machine and travelled here from the 1930s.
Specs: It does come with an S&S V Twin motor, good for 82 horsepower. Doesn't sound a lot, until you remember that this thing weighs around 1300 pounds. It is apparently capable of reaching 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Oh, the engine also sits outside the car. And it's got 3 wheels.
But again, this is the quintessential numbers-don't-matter car -- it will make you happy, and it will make everyone around you happy.
My goodness, I love this car.
