This next car comes as a tip from TeleArrow who writes: I bet you savvy DT regulars have heard of a Maxwell before, but I haven’t. It was running when parked a mere one and a half score ago so what could be wrong? Maybe not much since this thing is pretty darn simple. I […]
I’ve got some questions about this next car. But first, I’m going to admit that I’ve been on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster with my feelings about it. At first I was horrified by the front end. But than I started to appreciate the hot-rod rear end. And then I started to appreciate the […]
This next car comes as a tip from Rock On who writes: Just in case the Mercury Lynx Diesel from last week wasn’t slow enough! Wow. Let’s compare. The Lynx came with a 2.0 liter Mazda RF diesel that put out a blistering 52 horsepower into a chassis that hit the scales at 2300 lbs, […]
Dontcha just love it when you learn something new. Or you see a car that looks vaguely like any number of crappy cars from General Motors stable of things carish, but you don’t regonize that ACTUAL model. It’s like seeing an okapi for the first time. Yes. I’ve seen zebra before, I’ve seen giraffes, but […]
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: It must be the only running, driving and decent condition Winnebago LeSharo left on planet Earth. I can’t speak for all the other Metaverses, but here on our patch of the cosmos it’s gotta be unique. There was a company that specialized […]
The Lotus Europa is one of my favorite budget friendly super-cars from the 60s/70s and it featured a Lotus (or Renault) 4-cylinder engine mounted behind the driver with a transaxle pushing power to the rear wheels, all mounted on a fancy steel backbone chassis…but what we’ve got here today is a total bastard. It is […]
This next car comes from tipper Dave in Tampa who writes: This is a boat I’d happily row. Apparently it’s also a very rare configuration. Hmmm. If I didn’t already have an Abarth and a bunch of other cars littering my drive. Do it. What is the worst that could happen? How many more years […]
This next car has a special listing. It includes a single thumbnail sized photo of the subject car in the waning sunlight, parked in a pedestrian walking zone. But that isn’t the best part. The best part is the description, which starts with the single line of uncaptialized prose; “anybody want to buy a 1985 […]
I don’t know what to say about this next car, other than to offer it up to crowd as a Loony Labor Day sacrifice to the loonies. The photos show a car that looks like it was salvaged from a lake, but the description is pure pandemonium. It might be a Fiat 500 Topolino that […]
It was a strange world of coincidences when this next car came across the DT tips box. I was in Hawai’i on vacation when tipper Cory sent in this next beauty, which I would have loved to visit in person if I was on the same island, but alas my snorkeling skills aren’t strong enough […]
