This next car has me confused. The photos appears to be a screen grab from a snapchat conversation…which is always the best way to share photos for your project. Particularly if that project started life as a Type 14 Karmann Ghia but someone (in Michigan) cut off the roof and welded in a subframe to […]
You know what I like in a car advertisement? I like it when the seller emphasizes the local ice cream shop instead of the car. I don’t need to know the condition of the car or a single good photo of the driver’s seat where I’m gonna spend my days…NO, give me a close up […]
Style in the 80s was interesting. You could wear a white t-shirt under a white sport coat while wearing white slacks and white tennis shoes. I guess it was convenient if you spilled something white on your clothes, like some sort of white powder…nobody would know. Same thing goes if you drive a white-on-white Corvette, […]
The term snail gets tossed around when you are discussing old Mercedes-Benz sedans…but not in the way you might use it here. This next W116 Mercedes-Benz has a snail under the hood…yes a turbocharger the size of a fully grown Giant African land snail that pushes air into an LS based 5.3 from a late […]
GMC (formerly the Grabowsky Motor Company, then General Motors Truck Company, and later GMC Truck & Coach Division) is a specialty division of GM for trucks and utility vehicles. However, those trucks, vans, and SUVs have always been available as Chevrolets, Buicks, Olds…so is it a premium brand…sort of, although you can often get a […]
The Spira is an electric 3-wheeled motorcycle designed and built by SoCal inventor Lon Ballard who believes that his invention can save lives and the planet. The electric powertrain is supported by a honeycomb composite frame and the external body panels are made from styrofoam — think like a car made from those Big Mac […]
If you are going to drive something crazy, it should be really crazy. If you want to celebrate Corona beer, don’t just drive a car with a Corona bumper sticker or a Corona air freshener…or even a complete Corona vinyl wrap. That’s not nutty enough. You need to go completely off the reservation and drive […]
I don’t know much about bicycles, but I do know something about business and this is a business opportunity. A bicycle business opportunity. The seller suggests they could be used at Burning Man, but there isn’t enough Lysol/bleach/fire on the planet to sanitize those seats after a weekend at Burning Man…so I’ll instead suggest that […]
The Ford Pinto was released for the 1971 model year as the face of the future for American automobiles. I think that might have been true…because it was smaller, crappier, and a total disappointment to all involved. If you think I’m exaggerating, just keep in mind that domestic automakers had a 90 percent market share […]
This next car came in as a tip from Cory who said “NOT A FIERO”. But, it’s a kit-car Lambo? How could it not be a Fiero? Maybe a Beetle? No…it is a Saturn Sky Redline (the corporate cousin to the Pontiac Solstice GXP) that has been somehow converted into a fake Gallardo. I hate […]
