Of all the reasons to not drive a car, none are very convincing. They usually go like this: fear of damaging the car, fear of the car damaging them, sheer forgetfulness, or a plan to hold it for future value. The thought of a greasy Hooters patron with a ponytail and white gloves pushing a British […]
You know the saying: “A good man S30 is hard to find.” You want one that’s strong and dependable without issues or a past, and one that can play nicely with the kids – but isn’t too much of a snooze. Am I right, ladies?! They’re either too uncouth, trashy, or diesel-y, or way out of […]
The Bitter SC was Erich Bitter’s second project after the CD, a car not named for Steve Martin’s Cyrano-de-Bergerac-inspired character in Roxanne, but for its mechanical underpinnings from the Opel Diplomat (Coupe Diplomat). The SC looks like a Ferrari 412 minus some (or all) of its focal points and absolutely nails the modular design theme of the […]
Ludacris once eloquently stated, “I left the Jag and I took the Rolls.” Mr. Christopher Bridges (now that’s an English name if ever there was one) is right. $12,000 is a price point shared with an assortment of Jaguar road machines – cars with similar class and arguably similar lurking electrical problems – and, of […]
D is for dee little things that make a car awesome. The chrome, horizontal lines of the second-generation Dart wear like a pinstriped suit, compared to the 1967+ cut-off AC/DC shirt worn by a guy who steals your girlfriend’s corn dog at the state fair. This Dart has the benefit of the 273 V8, empowering you to […]
“Corvettes’ crappy chairs cramp your can,” cite cynical car columnists. Can cuddly cushions calm curt complaints? Are computer-controlled gear changes criminal? Creamy cow cuts and chrome create a crisis for crotchety, chain-chested Chevy clientele compulsively clicking on Craigslist. Find this 57,000-mile 1992 Corvette Coupe with Z07 package in Liberty, MO for $6,800 via Craigslist. To compete […]
Porsche’s 914, 928, 924, and 944 coincidentally followed a tidy naming convention wherein the last digit corresponded with its cylinder count. Stuttgart then introduced the 968 as if to say We’re Porsche and our models don’t need numerical significance. We’re above significance. The 968 got marks for good handling behavior but was nonetheless expelled from […]
From Jan. 1 2013: The Volvo 1800 series of sporty two-doors is one of DT’s favorite models to feature, if you haven’t noticed by now. We love the classic Italian-ish styling of the coupe and the funky vibe of the ES shooting brake equally in their own different ways. Today we’ve found a very presentable 1966 […]
Whenever I find a nice condition, reasonably priced “Roadkill” at a local car show, it always seems to be huge, brown, and Malaisey (see this one as an example). No matter, I will continue to photographically and textually share anything I stumble across in person that seems to be rare, interesting, or exceptional in some […]
Two seller submissions in one week? Conspiracy! Outrage! Okay, settle down, drop the pitchforks; we don’t get seller submissions very often, probably because sellers are afraid we are going to say nasty things about their car and generally be negative. So we won’t say that this car is slow, gets horrible gas mileage and is […]
