It was abstract expressionist and paint hucker Jackson Pollock who is famously quoted as saying “The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.” The strangeness hasn’t worn off; some would say Mr. Pollock’s paint drips are no more art than is the stain on a dirty […]
The Triumph TR6 was a popular British roadster sold from 1969 to 1976, and was powered by a 2.5 liter inline-6 engine which sounded great compared to the 1.8 liter in the MGB, but a low-compression carburetted tune for the US market meant it was just as slow as its 4-cylinder competition.

BMW launched its second version of the 7-series in 1986 with the E32 model which was lauded as being a handsome and modern styled sedan. BMW continued to push the 7-series as the luxury car for the ‘sporting’ driver and offered it with a manual transmission in the 6-cylinder models. Perhaps some bankers wanted their […]
We here at DT love to repeat our unofficial mantra: There is no better money spent on a car…than the previous owner’s. It rings true in so many situations, whether you are looking for a project that is half-finished with all the expensive work done, a package deal of car plus parts because the seller […]
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 […]
Our long time reader, onetime COW winner and regular contributor AbnMike has been prowling the comments section threatening to buy some hooptie Suburban or engine swapped Volvo and he even mentioned that his current reliable daily driver is for sale…and well…since we are 100% in favor of this plan and won’t feel the wrath of […]
