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 […]
The Saturn brand was launched by GM in 1994, and in 1999 they released a limited edition of their SL2 that was known as the “Homecoming Commemorative Edition”. I can’t think of a better car to “commemorate” Homecoming than a car that has a history of floating down the road and disappointing teenagers. For a […]
Hey DT readers, be sure enjoy your Memorial Day and don’t forget the fallen heroes of wars past and present. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day to honor the 110,000 troops killed in action during the American Civil War. In 1967 the final Monday of May was declared a federal holiday for all […]
The Subaru Vivio has one of the more interesting names in car naming history. It isn’t named after a constellation or Greek goddess…no. The name is a description of the displacement of the kei car sized engine in Latin. VI VI O. 6 6 0. The GX-R on the end just means it is as […]
