The History of Auto Racing

Automobile racing originated in France in 1894, almost immediately after the construction of the first successful petrol-fueled autos, and it appeared in the US the following year. Open-road races were banned in France in 1903, however, after they led to 8 fatalities. Today, there are several different categories of racing. In open-wheel, stock-car, and other types of circuit auto races, flags are displayed to communicate instructions to competitors.

Speaking of nonsporty cars, since my wife expressed interest in a small SUV, I've been more noticing how prevalent they are, especially on our last trip.  It seemed every other vehicle was a RAV4 or CRV or Ford Escape or Hyundai Tuscon ...

I get why they are popular.  I think.  I once had a RAV 4 as a rental whilst my car was being repaired from damage.  I thought it was junk at the time, probably 2008 or so.  I owned a used CRV for a time, gave it to my kids in college and a friend ruined it.  I could have had him arrested.

Anyway.  The CRV was boring and got poor gas mileage, it was a 5 speed at least.  It was also slow.  My minivan was much larger of course and got better has mileage and was about the same to drive.  I'm sure the new ones are much better, but they are so prevalent, I had never really noticed before.

I saw one Ford Flex which makes some sense to me, I know someone here has one.

I would be looking at smaller cheaper SUVs.  I'd probably look at these two, among others.  My wife likes BMWs.  I have no preference, except to delay this as long as possible.

Those are too small.

My wife had a GLK, which is now the GLC, and it was too small. I can get more stuff into my E sedan than I could in the GLK.

I saw one Ford Flex which makes some sense to me, I know someone here has one.
The Flex is not sporty of course, but they did offer it in AWD with a 365hp EcoBoost engine that would pull 0-60 in 5.7s. 

That's almost approaching sporty, at least if you're the type to measure sportiness with 0-60 times rather than lap times... 

I find it to be a wonderful vehicle overall. As I say, it's the white New Balance and khaki cargo shorts of vehicles. It's "dad cool".

I had a flex for a rental one time. Very practical and held a lot of people and cargo.
