Everybody agrees on a few things about cars; First is that wagons are cool. Next is that V8s are the rad. And finally, Audi has some of the best styling in the sport-luxury-family car world. Combine all of that with the magic of depreciation and you get this 2004 Audi S4 Avant offered for $13,000 […]
I was never of fan of the “slow cars are cool” theory that entered into the classic car paradigm a few years ago. Diesels started getting serious love, the Porsche 912 became extremely expensive, and now people want serious cash for the eta-powered BMWs of the 1980s. Uggg. What is this world coming to. And […]
What is better than a classic MG Midget for a few measly thousand bucks? TWO MG MIDGETS!! That might not be the conventional wisdom when it comes to classic cars, but I think that if you are going to hoarding midgets in your garage, this is the correct kind. Find this 1974 MG Midget offered […]
This next car is so awesome that it was tipped to our tips email not just once, but twice. Regular tippers Rock On and Zach Z both sent me a link to craigslist advertisement with low resolution photos and a messy garage…but man oh man…I love some fiberglass. Find this 1982 Fiberfab Aztec 7 offered […]
My parents had a Chevy Vega back before they had a bunch of kids, and to this day my old man claims was the worst car he ever owned. But his didn’t have a 300 horsepower Vette motor, nor a hacked off roof with a rear seat delete and shiny deep dish wheels. Could a […]
This next Jaguar reminds me of those cool Baur Targa conversions of mid 80s BMWs, and at first I guessed that Karosserie Baur might have had something to do with the quasi fixed convertible roof setup (ask the guys at Baurspotting for more deets!), but the custom work was done on a body in white […]
You had me at “floor jack ratchet strapped to the floor of the trunk.” Yes, I’ll admit that I’ve owned cars that need a floor jack in the trunk. It isn’t that those cars are unreliable, but that you might need to replace a pitman arm on the side of the road. Also, your passengers […]
If you haven’t been to Hawaii, you might not understand this next car. The Islands are a beautiful place to visit, but not the best place for nice cars. The roads are pretty bad, weather is severe, and the salty ocean air is corrosive, so you wouldn’t want to drive a Ferrari. But you might […]
I was just watching an old episode of my favorite tv show (The Grand Tour) and those funny British guys were skewering French car culture…and it made me think, perhaps I would enjoy owning a French car. And then I remembered how expensive divorce can be and decided to share this Citroën with you guys. […]
The neat looking beast you see on the screen above first appeared in the late 60s as the Nova kit car, produced in the UK by Richard Oakes and Phil Sayers using a swoopy fiberglass body, and Volkswagen Beetle chassis with buyer provided running gear. The same design was later branded as the Sterling, Cimbria and Purvis, and […]
