I thought you were purposely being funny with the spelling? Sort of like Abscate might lol! I definitely was not laughing at a typo. Sorry, June

Nope, I was embarrassed by my typo!

Matt - the Citroen SM with a Maserati V6. Hydropneumatic (sp?) suspension with...quirks. I got to drive one across a parking lot in HS when I was a lot boy for a big Datsun dealer. The owner bought it, and the mechanics always had it in the garage working on the high pressure hydraulics. When you shut it off, it would "sit down" low on it's suspension. The steering had extreme self-centering such that it actually rocked the car a bit when you turn the wheel from center.

Who knew that Daft Punk drove one?!

Maybe 30 years ago a coworker had a Citroen (maybe DS21?). I rode in it a few times. It was very smooth and silky. I do not remember him having maintenance issues. But, he only owned it a year or two.
