I may get some flack for this next one, but it’s the 4th of July and I’ve still got all my fingers, so I’ll just out with it. The Mustang is the most ‘Mericanus car ever built. Period. Some people will say the Corvette is more patriotic, but Americans have families of kids that need […]
The Ford Focus wasn’t the most “American” car to come from Ford’s stable of things with wheels — in fact, Ford spent a lot of marketing money telling everyone how the little front wheel drive econohatch was actually European. That rubbed forner race car driver and Mustang tuner Steve Saleen the wrong way, so he […]
If a picture says a thousand words, then a picture in a craigslist advertisement says thousands of things about the seller and the vehicle. If the seller of this snowcat style Swamp Spryte (built by the Thiokol Chemical Corp in Ogden, UT which you might have heard about because they supplied the o-rings that failed […]
The Buick Regal was a G-body coupe from General Motors that introduced the US to turbocharged performance and in 1978 was one of three cars available with a factory turbo; (the others being the SAAB 99 and Porsche 911 Turbo). The 99 and 911 were canyon carvers with small engines and manual transmissions but the […]
How bad could it be? Really, I have to wonder if a decently skilled hobbyist with a set of tools and access to the internet could get this car running without taking a complete bath in the process. I guess the worst case is you could lose $4k. Or you could spend $6k trying to […]
I stumbled on this classic Subaru BRZ (and Scion FR-S by the nature of their affinity) commercial and learned a few things that I didn’t know before.

This next car looks like a screaming deal to me…but then I’m the kind of lunatic who would consider assembling a 60s British car to be the perfect way to spend your weekends. I really hope that it is already sold because I might find a reason to call this guy. Find this 1967 MG […]
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 […]
