This next car comes as a tip from PA Cyclist who writes: Just over 3k miles per year if my math is right. This generation of Focus won European car of the year in 1999 and North American car of the year in 2000. Also, the ZX3 was on Car and Driver’s 10 best list […]
Look, I get it. I’m hip. I understand that men enjoy gawking at pretty women and putting one (the pretty woman) in your car advertisement might bring some more eyes to your advert. And while it might work if you’ve got a Ferrari or a Fiat 500, it is still very cringy. But if you […]
The E46 generation BMW 3-series was not that much different from the previous generation (E36) but it did take the same basic formula and just up the goodness factor. More power, more refined ride, and a better interior are only some of the benefits of the E46 generation, but one of the biggest changes was […]
The Chevrolet Corsica was a plus sized compact car built on GM’s L-Body platform shared with the Pontiac Tempest/GrandAm, Chevy Beretta, Oldsmobile Achieva, and Buick Skylark. It was the successor to the much maligned Citation for the 1987 model year and was succeeded by the Malibu for the 1996 model year. It was yet another […]
If there is ever going to be a collectible Civic, then it is probably going to be the CVCC version, which stood for Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion, which was simply an inexpensive way to achieve stratified charge combustion. Today’s example is NOT a CVCC, it has the regular 1.2 liter Honda E-series 4-banger, but that […]
The Porsche 944 turbo is known to its proponents as the 951, but haters will call it a fancy 924. And the haters had it right for years as front-engine Porsche prices languished somewhere between nill and zilch…but a few years ago all cheap 911/912/914 disappeared, and buyers headed to 924/944/928/968 for cheap Porsche to […]
The MGB GT is a fastback version of the convertible MGB that was built from 1973 through 1976. The B GT continues to be a fantastic bargain for a car with a Pininfarina roof and proper classic car credentials. I’d have expected these to increase in price with similar things from the era like Porsche […]
Two grand doesn’t buy much in supercar from the 1990s, even in the case of a twin turbocharged all-wheel-drive Japanese car masquerading as a domestic. I know that the 3000GTVR4/StealthRT platform is known for being costly to repair, but even if there is a rod poking through the block of this next car, I think […]
In 1994 the Buick Roadmaster got a massive powerplant upgrade when it ditched the old L03/L05 V8 and replaced it with an LT1 V8 that had more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy. It shared the LT1 with the Corvette, but you couldn’t fit 6 people into a Corvette. Find this 1995 Buick Roadmaster […]
This 8th generation Buick Riviera was the launch vehicle for GM’s new G-body platform (GMX690), which was based on Cadillac’s K-body architecture and lasted until 2011 when it was superseded by the Eurocentric GM Epsilon platform. The William L Porter designed coupe marked the end of an era for GM’s big luxury 2-doors and is […]
