electric Mule or a converted old beater I'll be happy,

That would be a 2016-2019 Nissan Leaf. No bells. No whistles. No problems.

Did you think "mule" somehow implied good looks?

Is this some new mule kink I've never heard of? No shame, is just new to me.

I'm referring to the old Mule flat bed trucks that had less safety and comfort than the driver seat on a covered wagon. I don't want comfort or safety, I want cheapness and capacity, air conditioning is optional even. If I can't at minimum rip out the seating and shove in a bench I pulled from an old truck then it's a failure of design in my eyes.
