This next car comes as a tip from ME who did a random search for Manual Mercury vehicles and expected to find nothing (or at least nothing “good”) but instead found this sweet piece of Cougar bait. I am even starting to like that strange rear window shape that was so easy to ridicule back […]
This next car comes as a tip from BP who writes: What’s not to love? Something to watch on the first day of summer soon. 13 days left on bidding. 88k. Clean underside. Sweet. OK, needs wheels, but those will give you some idea of how long this has been sitting idle in some garage […]
This next car comes as a tip from JR who writes: The CRX is one of my favorites. The 90 & 91 model years were the only ones with rear disc brakes from the factory which makes this piece super cool. I also hear the cargo cover fetches a pretty penny. Combine that with the […]
For the most part, cars from the mid-1970s are generally unfun to drive – the fuel crisis and stricter emissions regulations greatly diminished their street-legal enjoyment, and safety regulations ensured they were unattractive and lacking in driving excitement. Nevertheless, it’s impossible to completely extinguish the passion of car enthusiasts, and they always find a way. […]
This next car comes as a tip from John W who writes: The air scoop makes this van. This van would induce swooning and fainting in the Home Depot parking lot. Camper van? Food truck? Frequently used as a catchy mobile dentistry van in Japan. Find this 1991 Daihatsu Mira Walk Thru Van bidding for […]
The typical 80s vintage Toyota wagon is powered by a sub 2-liter inline-4 that barely puts out enough power to get out of its own way. There isn’t anything wrong with driving a slow car (I’ve had the pleasure many times myself!) but today’s Toyota wagon or Wagon is something of a Frankenstein. Power comes […]
I know what you are going to say. Another day, another bumperless BMW on DailyTurismo..these guys are such Bavaian fanbois. Yeah. True. But here is the challenge. We will start posting more non-BMW cars when someone invents a time machine, goes back in time and convinces other manufacturers in the 70s-80s-90s to build high quality […]
Remember when I was ranting about how expensive cars like the BMW 2002 have gotten? When was that? Earlier today? Oh, my bad. Anyway, time to eat my shoe because I found a reasonably priced classic European sports machine. It might be ugly, but it is cheap. Find this 1975 BMW 2002 offered for $4,500 […]
Nicely preserved European classics have gotten ridiculously expensive in the past few years — forget getting a Porsche 911 for anything less than a hipster’s ransom, and even the lowly BMW 2002Tii demands some serious scratch. What’s a guy (or gal) to do? You gotta dig deep and find something that isn’t on the top […]
Most vehicle have four wheels, but some have two. And the experts over the years have waged wars about which is better. It is a sad state of motorcycle vs car wars…but there are a few visionaries out there who want to meet in the middle. Perhaps they can form a consensus that is large […]
