With the 1994 release of the Jaguar XJR (X306) performance sedan, the world was introduced to a supercharged AJ6 version of Jaguar’s bread and butter luxury sedan. It was fast, it was luxurious, it was a Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. The automotive press (particularly those in the UK) rejoiced…mostly because press folks drive new cars from corporate fleets […]
Value, worth, and price are difficult concepts for most people to grasp. And the worst part is that many people have a mistaken idea that they are the same thing. If you ask a curmudgeon like me about the cars that sell on fancy pants auction sites, I’m gonna tell you that they are usually […]

The starter Rolls was the Silver Shadow, which was available in long wheelbase known as the Silver Wraith, but you could also spend more money to get […]

The Chevrolet Suburban is this giant monstrosity of a vehicle that combines the awesome power of low octane Walmart gasoline with several tons of steel and turns ordinary housewives into combat ready road warriors. The suburban assault vehicles that dot the American cityscape can thank the Suburban for being the first huge monster to drive […]
When you think of Pony cars from the 80’s and 90’s the Dodge Daytona probably doesn’t come to mind. Camaro Iroc Z’s duked it out with Mustang 5.0’s for king of the street during this time period, but Dodge took over as primary sponsor of the IROC race series in 1991. The Daytona IROC R/T […]
Sub $1k cars tend to be sketchy at best. You might find an old Volvo 240 that has issues starting or a rusted out pile of 80s whatever…but increase your budget to $2k and suddenly you can get a car that you could drive every single day. This next car comes from a towing company […]
There was a time when Autotrader was the best game in business when you were looking to buy a cheap car…at least it was better than your local newspaper. The world changed and Autotrader’s print magazine went the way of the dodo bird and AT lost most of its best deals to craigslist…but in recent […]
