Broad Arrow/HagertyThe way some people (read: normal) get cuteness aggression over dogs or babies, I get over cars. Some cars are so cute I just want to punch someone in the face over it. Is this a sane, rational reaction to a car? Hell no, but that's not why you are here. You're here to join me in baby-talking and cheek-pinching the cars, specifically, micro cars. Because being a car enthusiast isn't just about horsepower and torque. Sometimes, it can be about the little guys who come in bright paint colors and measure their engines in ccs rather than liters. These little tykes pack in a lot of personality in a small package. Take the Fiat 600 posted above, recently auctioned off by Broad Arrow at Monterey Car Week. Who's a good car? You are! I just want to take them all home and color match outfits to their paint jobs. What lil' car gives you these squishy feelings? I'm taking all comers: tiny Soviet pods, kei cars, city cars, anything you want! The world is your oyster and your choice a tiny beautiful pearl.Read more: These Car Brands Aren't Making It Through The Next RecessionMy Pick: Goggomobil DartStephen Foskett/WikicommonsSo I'm going through a petite midlife crisis, but — like all things I do — in a fun and sexy way. I want to fill up my arms with tattoos and then get a fun convertible to fade them out with. The Goggomobil Dart hits all of those notes. It may have four wheels and three pedals, but that's not actually a car. That is a little baby. Not only is it adorable, but the name of the car is fun to say. Goggomobil Dart! I first saw one at a Quail show years ago and I haven't been able to chase it from my mind. The rare little German car is from 1959-1960 and was an absolutely joy of the West Berlin roads. At a mere 392cc, the engine is as minute as the body. I can't think of a tinier motor in a microcar. It also looks like it belongs in "The Jettison's" with its super cute '50s futuristic aesthetic.

Some of these cars even made it to Australia, where an enterprising auto dealer began importing the chassis and building the fiberglass bodies in the land down under. The Dart is pretty rare when compared to other body styles that sit on the Goggomobil platform. You could also get a sedan, a coupe, or a van Goggo. So what about you? What weird little ride just makes you want to squish the car and talk nonsense to it?
