Merry Christmas to everyone out there in cyberspace. We hope you enjoy some time with friends and family and are taking to day off from posting the best classics, junk, and awesome stuff on the internet to spend the day with family and hope you do the same. Instead of featuring the best classic cars […]
The E34 generation of BMW’s 5-series was sold from 1988 through 1995 with a wide variety of available engines. The collection of available motors included the beastly S38 inline-6 in the M5, the sweet sounding M60 V8, a bunch of slilky inline-6s of various displacements, a few junky inline-4s for Europe (including a 103 horsepower […]
I love a good engine swap. But good is a relative term. Is it good to swap a high revving zinger sports car engine into an appliance like a pickup truck? The AP2 inline-4 from the Honda S2000 is an incredible engine, but does it belong in a vehicle designed to haul junk and tow? […]
When GM renames its compact offerings (like it does every 5 years or so) it is a feeble attempt to wash the taste from the last pile of junk out of your mouth (unlike Honda who has made the Civic for a billion years or Toyota with the Corolla, etc)…and the Citation was no different. […]
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between used junk and expensive new cars, between crap and bankruptcy, and it lies between the pit of man’s toolbox and the summit of his arcane […]
As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of 90s junk, I find myself oddly attracted to the E34 (1988-1995) generation of BMW’s 5-series sedan. 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 […]
I can’t imagine you could go wrong with a $2500 used Porsche Boxster. Worst case is you could lose…I dunno…$2500. A new Boxster costs $65,500 starting and it costs $2580 if you want the green paint option and another $2520 for full leather interior…so I’m going to say that a used Boxster that just needs […]
Production of the compact Ford Ranger started for the 1983 model year (Ford had an Edsel Ranger and later a F-Series Ranger trim, but that was just an options package) as the first compact pickup truck designed and released by North American Ford. Unless you count the original Model T pickup as a compact, but […]
The Europa was a sporty two seater built by Colin Chapman’s Lotus Cars in Norfolk, UK. Only 9300 of these high-butted gems were built between 1966-1975 and in today’s world of overpriced junk (see Porsche 912 or 914 prices…ahem) the Europa is still surprisingly affordable, especially when they’ve got a smashed up front end. Anyway, […]
Do you know what is better than a Bugatti kit car built on a VW chassis offered for fair price at an estate sale? Do ya? Yeah. Two Bugatti replicars offered for a reasonable price. According to the seller there is a large collection of other memorabilia and junk from someone named Mark Behar, who […]
