This next car popped up on my radar as a big pinging target for a few reasons — first it is an F150 in a color, not black or some boring shade of grey. Next it has a manual gearbox — check out the size of that shifter, it looks like someone stuck a Swiffer […]
This next tip comes from JR who writes: Let’s hope this guy doesn’t get lowballed. It’s a silver lining amongst this crazy used car market. Yes, yes yes! This thing is an amazing little gem for $500 and most other cars in that price range aren’t cars, they are parts of cars or scammer’s waiting […]
A few months ago I would have told you that the only E34 you should own is an M5 or 540i 6-speed version, but with the price of fuel heading into clown territory I am ready to change my tune. So let’s sing a song about the M50B25 inline-6 mated to a 5-speed. Find this […]
The US version of the Ford Escort was not as well loved as the European version, which is a cult classic over on the other side of the world…but the US Escort was about as forgettable as a mild case of hand, foot and mouth disease. However, I can’t help but feel a pang of […]
I know what you are thinking…the guy’s at DT have jumped the shark. A base model Honda Accord from the 7th generation (2003-2007) has all of the appeal of a well done t-bone steak from Sizzler. The Accord’s exterior styling is so thoroughly boring that I fell asleep TWICE when writing this feature…but pop the […]
When I tell people that I’m a fan of cheap cars, they might consider this next car to be a good example of what I’m talking about. Except that I want cheap cars…not cars that are just cheap to buy, but also cars that are cheap to run. A mid 2000s Jaguar…this could cost something […]
The second generation Nissan Pathfinder was introduced for the 1996 model year with revised styling and a new unibody chassis to replace the outgoing body-on-frame platform. The new more road friendly Pathfinder was also joined by an Infiniti version called the QX4 and sold quite well for Nissan through the 2004 model year. Today’s example […]
This next car should not have survived the years in the condition you see today…because it is a Hyundai Accent. Who would preserve such a miserable pile of cheap Korean metal and plastic…I don’t know, but I appreciate it. Because there is a horse for every saddle and a saddle for every horse and cowboy […]
If I know anything about you guys, it is that y’all comment on the things you love. So that means you loved the cheap Oldsmobile Alero with the tragic rear end damage, so I think this next car will fit right into the DT paradigm of cheap and basic daily driver. As a plus this […]
DT continues our countdown of 12 econoboxes that are inspired by this vintage Car and Driver comparison article. The twelve sub $10k (when new in 1992 and equipped with air conditioning, a rear defroster, and an AM/FM radio) cars were ranked by an assortment of college kids, and this next one is number 6. Today’s […]
