So I was perusing Tijuana craigslist the other day…and wait…there’s a Tijuana craigslist? I thought all of craigslist was basically a virtual version of TJ? Anyway, it is everything you’d expect when searching craigslist cars-and-trucks by owner — Corvettes, Isuzu trucks, bulldogs, parrots, and then I found a B13 Nissan Sentra that was made in […]
I’ve always enjoyed being a bit of an outlier. Well…maybe counter cultural. A square peg in a world of round holes. Anyway, as the prices of used cars have escalated to stupid high levels, I find myself heading in the opposite direction, towards cars that are cheap cheap cheap. $20k for a car? That’s nuts. […]
A few years ago you wouldn’t have given much thought to owning a Rockford era TransAm or Camaro, but with the price of every other classic car being higher than the International Space Station, you sometimes have to settle for what you can afford. Personally, I’ve found these cars attractive for a while, but as […]
The C4 generation Corvette was a big styling change from the previous C3 Vette. Gone were the stingray inspired fender humps and instead the car featured Lotus Esprit meets a door style styling. It might be the exhaust fumes speaking, but the C4 is starting to grow on me. Find this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette C4 offered […]
This next car comes as a tip from PA Cyclist who calls it a “Time-warp Dodge pickup 36k miles on a 24-year-old pickup!” Don’t be shocked at the asking price which is approximately the same as the original MSRP. This seems to be a trend with low mile trucks and cars these days but is […]
I can’t decide which part of this next advertisement annoys me more. Is it the “unsold adams” photography, or the number of alphanumeric designators the sellers haphazardly heaps into the listing. S40, T5, AWD, 6speed, AC, whlz, 82k…are we still paying for characters in a listing like its a telegram? Sure, some is Volvos fault […]
As a part time white v-neck t-shirt afficianado and full-time street racer once said: Ask any racer, any real racer. It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning. A long haired Scotsman concured with his opinion when screamed “There can be only one!”…but that was after decapitating a bunch […]
I can’t believe we are down to the penultimate entry in our celebration of terrible economy cars from 1992. It all started from this vintage Car and Driver article from July 1992 came across my desk the other day. The 12 compact economy cars in the comparison article were sub $10k crapboxes that were ranked […]
This next car is number 3 of 12 in a special feature we are doing inspired by a vintage Car and Driver article that covered cars offered for new in 1992 for less than $10k and had air conditioning, a rear defroster, and an AM/FM radio. These economy cars compact economy cars were ranked by […]
We continue our countdown of 12 econoboxes inspired by this 1992 vintage Car and Driver comparison article. The twelve sub $10k (when new) cars were ranked by an assortment of college kids, and this next one is number 4. It is the venerable Toyota Tercel, which was one of the cars that Toyota sold in […]
