You won’t find this next car in a locale with strict requirements for inspection laws, annual MOT, and maybe license plates. This car lives deep in the wilds of North Carolina and appears to be two Geo Metro sedan fronts welded back to back. But, for less than a down payment on a new car, […]
This next vehicle is one of those double-take eye test vehicles. What is it? A snowmobile engine powered 1/2 scale semi truck, why would you not own this thing? The seller doesn’t provide much information, but if you need to ask, you probably should buy prepaid Waymo card. Find this 1990 Peterbilt Truck offered for […]
There have been some funny advertisements on the Facebook marketplace in the last few months, and I have to admit that this is the use of AI that I can support. I’ll just leave this here.
What is this? Who built it? Where did those wheels come from? I’ve got so many questions about this next feature and a few answers. The engine and transmission come from one of the Mercedes-Benz and Swatch collab cars known as “Smart” (for Swatch Mercedes ART)…but little else seems to be Smart-sourced. Styling seems to […]
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: The perfect machine for Florida’s crocodile-infested neighborhoods and lakes. From the photos, this looks like a homebuilt (or kit-built) amphibious “swamp buggy” style ATV, basically a small aluminum/steel boat hull with 4 driven wheels bolted to it, rather than a factory Amphicar […]
If you’ve ever looked at a C4 Corvette and a Kawasaki Concours and thought “yes, but what if both were melted down and reforged into a reverse-trike Batmobile prototype escaped from a DARPA garage,” then congratulations, your dream has surfaced in Palo Alto. This three-wheeled roller pairs the big-brake front clip and coilovers from a […]
Occasionally we at Daily Turismo take a break from polishing the turds in our driveway, or relentlessly searching for customized El Caminos covered in diamond plate, and we do something fun. This year we took a quick flight to Las Vegas to attend the annual SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) trade show. The SEMA is […]
This 1989 Suzuki Swift might have started life as a humble econobox, but now it’s a street-legal go-kart with a death wish and a love of oversteer. Under the hood sits a 1.3-liter Hayabusa motorcycle engine that spins to 11,000 rpm and sends nearly 200 horsepower to the rear wheels. The interior is stripped to […]
Who ya gonna call collect? Step aside, Cadillac Ecto-1 —there’s a new ghost-chasing whip in town, and it shops exclusively on Temu. Build as a Buick LeSabre Estate “Ecto-1” Tribute, a glorious collision between funeral home practicality and dollar-store paranormal enthusiasm. This thing started life as a dignified hearse, but somewhere along the line someone […]
You’ve seen shoe cars before — but not like this. This Volkswagen Jetta Converse Car looks like someone lost a bet with both Nike and physics. It’s a 5-speed Jetta that’s been swallowed whole by a size-747 high-top sneaker, complete with laces, logos, and the aerodynamic grace of a gym bag. It’s perfect if you’ve […]
