Welcome to another edition of DT’s Thursday Twister, the game that has more twists and turns than a Thomas English muffin. On a previous Twister we covered cars that were only available in manual gearbox, but PhiLOL suggested that we cover cars you thought were automatic only, but did have a rare manual version. My […]
This week’s Thursday Twister, is brought to you by Andy L who writes: In your hours and hours spent browsing through car ads, have you ever thought to yourself: why didn’t this car maker put this engine or transmission in this model? It would have been amazing! For example, why was a 350 unavailable with […]
Welcome to another edition of DT’s Thursday Twister, the guessing game that keeps the organizers guessing…and this week is another classic Twister challenge. Find a car that has been defined by a celebrity….or vice versa. It can be a car from a TV show, like Magnum PI’s Ferrari, or a car from real life, like […]
Welcome to another edition of DT’s Thursday Twister,the game that keeps giving, and today we venture into the land of fantasy. Episode VII heads into theaters this week, and I think it would be a good time to venture into the Star Wars universe — naturally here is where things get geeky. The question is […]
Welcome to another edition of DT’s Thursday Twister, the guessing game where each week you have to guess what the game will be…so this week we go back to a typical Twister challenge.

The What Am I? feature from this week was a particularly dastardly image from the front of a Felber Autoroller T 400 — which isn’t a steam roller or a cuticle trimmer, but a 3-wheeler built in Vienna that fits two adult and one baby panda, but that’s not imporant. What is important is that […]
The standard car audio head unit is designated in ISO 7736, but in common car guy parlance is called DIN for the older Deutsches Institut für Normung standard DIN 75490. The ISO standard was adopted in 1984, but for some reason many OEMs continued (and continue) to produce radios shaped like modern art. Today for […]
Welcome to another edition of the Thursday Twister, DT’s favorite brake from reality where we twist words upon themselves to form sentence pretzels — aka sentzels. Today’s Twister topic is topical because Saturday is All Hallows Eve…so get into the spirit of things and pick your favorite scary car. To me the scariest car on […]
Welcome back to another special edition feature, the Thursday Twister. This week instead of the usual stuff…wait..you guys like the usual stuff…okay, in that case we are going to find cars named after places — like cities, towns, counties, states, countries, or provinces. My choice is the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a car that may have […]
