1980-2000
The Eurovan is either a totally forgettable blandmobile that you won’t notice, or a sweet piece of Vee-Dub history that deserves a podium at the next RadWood show. I don’t know. I’m not convinced either way…but I do know that my wife wouldn’t want to drive it to take the kids to school and it […]
A quick trip to BMW’s USA sales website makes me pine for a time when a “kidney grill” wasn’t a grotesque polygonal shaped icon that exemplifies the corpulence of the modern era. The twin kidney shape was a decorative throwback to first BMW grill and not a predator mouth shaped abomination. There was a time […]
If I learned anything from the LA Auto Show last week, it was that electric cars are the future. The boring, blob shaped, no fun, future. Why does every new electric car need to look like a blob shaped CUV, why can’t they be styled after the aesthetics of an 80s full sized American van, […]
This next Ford Ranger is one of those cars that makes you really wonder how it managed to survive the years without the abuse that its factory siblings recieved. Most Rangers have been long ago turned into landscapers rigs or bagged and boosted by Rangerboyz, but this thing is mint. Find this 1991 Ford Ranger […]
This next car might be familiar to you because we’ve written about it in the past. It is DT co-founder CFlo’s “Miss Miagi” track MX-5 that he picked up in 2016 as a replacement to El Cheapacabra after it was crushed in a traffic accident. The perky little Miata has been a great track car […]
At first glance the Suzuki X90 might look like another car-based crossover mini-SUV that takes a front-wheel-drive chassis and adds a few inches of ground clearance…but you’d be wrong. The X90 was actually a 2-seat version of the Sidekick and as such used a legitimate front-longitudinal engine setup with a proper transfer case making it […]
Before I get too far into this next car I want to point out that it is monstrously overpriced, even if it only has 13,500 miles on the odometer. Despite the high price tag, it is an interesting example of the Chrysler corporation’s obsession with badge engineering. The Sapporo was a rebadged version of the […]
The Ford Ranger pickup is a…wait a minute. This isn’t you typical DT post. This is an insane 6X6 mud machine with dual rear-wheel steering and a diamond plate front bumper that could double as a park bench. The rear axles come from some kind of military beast that will let you get to places […]
The Plymouth Voyager was a badge swap version of the legendary Dodge Caravan which was a large people carrier built on the Chrysler K-platform. Yes. Although called a “mini”van, the Caravan isn’t exactly “mini” by any typical measurement, but it did get powerplants shared with the K-car, included the Dodge 2.5 liter turbo-4. It is […]
The Mercedes-Benz 190E is an entry-level luxury car produced from 1982 to 1993, and even though it was Mercedes first attempt at the compact car market they did not skimp on the W201. This platform introduced a 5-link rear suspension subsequently used in E and C class models, front and rear anti-roll bars, anti-dive and […]
