The first generation Nissan Z car was sold in the USA under the Datsun marque and 240Z nameplate. It was unlike anything seen from a Japanese manufacturer before in the US market and made quite a splash when introduced. Today used Z’s are plentiful and inexpensive mostly as they haven’t appreciated the way 60s American […]
The Honda City was a subcompact car for the Japanese market – not quite small enough to be classified as a Kei-car, but a miniature little runabout with a surprising amount of space on the inside. The base City was not a fast car, but that was before Mugen Founder Hirotoshi Honda (son of Honda […]
The E36 BMW was sold as the ultimate yuppie transport from 1992-1999 and while its handling was always lauded as balanced and fun, it could never be accused of being fast in a drag race – even the ///M3 version. However, we think that shoehorning one of the worlds most tunable twin-turbo powerplants into a […]
Before the Morgan Motor Company built cars that termites love, they had a reputation for building cyclecars, or three wheeled motorcycle powered death traps that could seat 2 to 4 people. The reckless and wealthy can still buy Morgan 3 Wheelers new in the UK for about £25,000 GBP or $40,000 USD. The reckless cheapskates […]

Today’s 3rd Thorsday car is a partially original, partially restored family truckster in a fetching shade of blue with nice contrasting red painted “V” hubcaps, a […]
The second generation Toyota Corolla (E20) is an example of a cheap/fun/rear wheel drive vehicle that used to come from the maker of beige appliances. The two door TE-21 ‘peanut’ shaped sedan was available with a number of low displacement 4 cylinder engines – but the owner of this 1971 Toyota Corolla installed a Mazda […]
The Nissan Z car was originally a simple sports car with a small naturally aspirated inline 6 and lithe handling. As previously noted by the daily turismo the Z pulled a bit of an ‘Elvis’ and the 300ZX marked the peak of the double chin and sequined cape. This 1994 300ZX is located in Peekskill, […]
When mobsters need a car they always look for something 4-door, large trunk, black on black, big engine, slushbox auto (easier to shoot at other mobsters when driving if your not trying to shift) – and this 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 fits the bill. Its even already been stolen (probably by mobsters) and recovered by […]
Open the hood on most economy cars and you will find a 4 cylinder engine transverse mounted and mated to the front wheels. This 2002 Ford Focus SVT located in Los Angeles, CA and found on ebay is offered with a V8 and rear wheel drive for $15000 buy-it-now price on ebay. This black Ford […]
