Somebody better put some miles on this car ASAP. If we don’t roll the odo digits, this car risks becoming one of those cars that gets passed around those fancy auction sites between exceedingly wealthy hipsters who store them in their garage and talk about when they first got into Apple stock. This car needs […]
I never thought that these words would leave my fingertips, but this New Beetle looks cool. I guess I could have written those words about the turbine powered New Beetle that was featured last year, but that car was more terrifying than cool. But a lifted New Beetle with a TDI and 6-speed manual…that is […]
The trick with a turbocharger is to make the compressor (that is the cold intake size) big enough that it flows the desired air you need to make your power target and the turbine small enough that it spools at a reasonable rpm (before your engine blows up…for instance). Or…you could just strap on a […]
I love the idea of owning a classic MG with an upgraded power plant and I love the look of this next car…and I’m not afraid of the price…but this next advertisement leaves a bit to be desired. Where are the photos of the engine bay? How clean was the installation? And what is up […]
I never got into the Scooby Doo thing, but from what I understand it was an animated precursor to X-Files, where you think everything is freaky ghosts/aliens, but in the end it is just the CIA or a wealthy crooks messing with people. Except instead of Gillian Anderson, the smart person on the show was […]
A few years ago a friend asked for recommendations for a late model 4 seat convertible and as I did the requisite research, I discovered that there aren’t that many convertibles with back seats. They do exist and, oddly enough, Mercedes-Benz built quite a few in the past few years with its S-Class, E-Class, C-Class […]
There is a reason why Mercury is still dominating new car sales while it competitors struggle to find footing in a modern world with complex offerings and market dynamics. It is because Mercury product planners knew that customers wanted a zinc yellow performance version of the Cougar. If only Toyota had hired those product planners, […]
This next car comes as a tip from MNMunky who writes: Corrado in not so mellow yellow. Long time since I’ve seen 3 spoke alloys and not minded them. Criminally underrated car IMO. Find this 1990 Volkswagen Corrado offered for $5900 on the faceface faceface. From the seller: About This VehicleDriven 148,864 milesManual transmissionExterior color: […]
If you don’t believe in wormholes and alternate universe theories, this next car might change your mind. It is the ultimate in bearded Spock mind chicanery and it includes many elements that would seem normal in a mildly altered universe. Fastback Miata…sure. Stars and moons on door inserts…why not? Matching stars and moons on gauge […]
The E46 generation of BMW’s M3 stands a top the podium of M3 goodness — the earlier generations have de-tuned US spec motors that are an embarrassment compared to the Euro good stuff and the later cars are over digitized things with roaring V8s and turbomulators — nobody needs that. An M3 should have an […]
