Hey DT readers, be sure enjoy your Memorial Day and don’t forget the fallen heroes of wars past and present. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day to honor the 110,000 troops killed in action during the American Civil War. In 1967 the final Monday of May was declared a federal holiday for all […]
The Subaru Vivio has one of the more interesting names in car naming history. It isn’t named after a constellation or Greek goddess…no. The name is a description of the displacement of the kei car sized engine in Latin. VI VI O. 6 6 0. The GX-R on the end just means it is as […]
A teacher in middle school used to say “if you don’t have anything nice to say, you might be a custom car critic” which makes more sense than the other nonsense the teachers would try and tell us. This next customized Citroen starts with a whaaaat is that pile on the hood and then continues […]
The Nissan Silvia S12 generation was a sporty compact front-engine rear-wheel-drive coupe/hatchback that was sold as the Nissan 200SX in the USA from 1984 through 1988.

Sweet! Find this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300D W123 offered for $13,500 in Santa Monica, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On! From the […]

This next car comes as a tip from PA Cyclist who writes: The only explanation for this is that someone built an entire Pontiac factory in their basement. Yeah. This thing looks like it just jumped through a worm hole and I hope you aren’t one of those Fiero haters who wants to toss it […]
The original Paul Newman V8lvo was a Ford V8 powered wagon with a puffer (as famously told by Dave Letterman) that disappeared for decades and was later found by DT in 2013.
