Your dear Aunt Hilda’s hand-written recipe that calls for “a dash of” salt refers to a lost art of cooking. By assigning a calculable measurement (1/8 tsp) to it, modern cooking websites have inadequately quantified what was intended to be an experiential learning method. For all the science within and throughout food production, it is […]
Named after an Italian town and originally intended to bear a Wankel rotary by NSU, a German company, the Chevrolet Monza isn’t the American car you expect to see in an Evel Knievel jumpsuit. Yet here it is adorned in stickers and polyurethane aero bits comprising the rare (and very American-themed) Mirage appearance package. Built […]
The car you’re looking at is the best kept secret in the used car market. If you scrolled past this post without clicking, you have proven my point. Actually, if you scrolled past this, you’re no longer with us and I can say without fear of repercussion that your mother is a woman of ill […]
The showroom pictures in this ad surely must document a fairy tale story. Some penny pincher put up with an old three-door Japanese appliance for years, slavishly scrimping to save enough money for the 3 Series they had always dreamed of. But you would be in error to heap praise on the owner while neglecting […]
Surviving 23 years in the North for 218,000 miles isn’t supposed to look this good. You have to look closely at this squeaky clean B13 SE-R to see its age. It’s all in the interior wear points: worn pedal surfaces, thin driver’s side floor mat, and squished seat bolsters – and that’s nitpicking. Otherwise, the […]
Of the three Festivas taking up space in the Daily Turismo archives (next to budget Corvettes and a Miata with an insufferable identity crisis), all have had engine swaps. This is because the stock 1.3-liter Mazda-sourced engine was worth only 58 horsepower. That’s torture even Dick Cheney wouldn’t approve of. Once you double that output and […]
The E28 BMW 535i is one of those classic 1980s sedans that can be picked up for cheap, run forever and can be a blast to drive. In 1981 BMW combined a large inline-6, rear wheel drive, optional limited slip diff and manual transmission to create the first in a long line of luxury 5-series […]
The W124 generation Mercedes-Benz is one of our favorites at the Daily Turismo, so it’s only natural that we would jump at the chance to feature a W124 wagon offered for the price of timing belt change. This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300TE W124 wagon is for sale in Los Angeles, CA for $1975 from a seller […]
The Studebaker Lark was a compact car initially released in 1959 by oddball make Studebaker, assembled at their South Bend, Indiana manufacturing plant. The numerical designation (VI or VIII) on the side of a Lark doesn’t refer to model generation as is typical of similar era cars, it actually designates the number of engine cylinders […]
The Bricklin SV-1 was a short lived Canadian built ‘sports-car,’ the creation of a millionaire dreamer Malcolm Bricklin and designed by noted 60’s Batmobile designer Herb Grasse. The story of the SV-1 sounds a lot like the DeLorean – motivated rich/famous dude thinks he can build a car better than 1000s of engineers at major […]
