Ah yes, another classic JDM Honda Passport diesel, just like they made them in Japan…wait a minute. The C58 generation Honda Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo built in Lafayette Indiana, so I’m not sure you’d have ever gotten something in Japan called the Passport in 1995. Hang on…lemme hit the internet real quick…duckduckgo…wiki. Apparently […]
The AMC Spirit was the successor to the outgoing Gremlin subcompact and was essentially a Gremlin without the funky styling…which when you get down to it is a pretty miserable formula for a car. A surprising quantity of Gremlins have avoided crusher because of style, but the Spirit was crushed en masse like a bunch […]
In the 1980s the guys at Chrysler were hella jelly when GM announced their Saturn brand, so they did the only logical thing to do and announced the Eagle brand in 1988. But while GM had developed an entire lineup of unique tupperware cars for Saturn, the average Eagle showroom was mostly filled with rebadged […]
The US market Ford Contour was marketed by the folks at Ford’s PR department as a re-purposed European Ford Mondeo, but in truth it only shared a few pieces including the windshield, windows, side mirrors and door handles. Everything else was standard parts bin junk left over from the Tempo or borrowed from the Taurus […]
I found out an interesting fact by featuring those 12 terrible economy cars from the other week. First is that you folks are a bunch of weirdos who actually love these derelict piles of parts, but the more importantly I got some keen insight to the current state of used car market dynamics. Any car […]
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 […]
