The next car came across the DT tips hotline and I almost immediately discounted it as yet another minty clean early 90s Geo Metro, but upon closer look this thing is a Pontiac. Yup, you could get the Geo Metro badged as a Pontiac Firefly in Canada for a few years and this one has […]
What is better than an original American classic from the 70s with a 4-speed and loaded options? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It doesn’t matter that cars from a few years before had more power, because they are less refined, and it also doesn’t matter that cars from later years were better, because they are ugly. Don’t […]
We featured a cheap and crazy custom Porsche the other day as an alternative to the really expensive Frankenstein movie car from Death Race 2000. But you guys didn’t like that Porsche, and I think I finally figured it out. It might be 1/5th the cost of the movie car, but at almost $10k it […]
The Uplander was released in 2005 as a replacement for Chevy’s Astro (rear-wheel-drive Van platform) and Venture (front-wheel-drive platform) — which were simultaneously being canceled. It was typical GM stuff, which meant some nasty plastic interior, a selection of big displacement V6 engines, 4-speed slushbox, and parts bin reject parts distributed evenly throughout. I’m not […]
In 1984, Chevrolet released an upmarket well-equipped version of the Camaro that they badged as the Berlinetta. Actually, it wasn’t purely upmarket, because you could get it with the abysmal V6, but it was exotic in its interior accoutrements — specifically a sweet fighter-jet inspired cockpit that added driver centric instrument panels that could telescope […]
The third generation Camaro was produced from the 1982 through 1992 model years and was known as the first Camaro to be offered with fuel injection, 4-speed autos, 5-speed manuals, and hatchback body style. The steeply raked windshield was leaned back at 62 degrees — which violated a previous GM rule that limited windshields to […]
A few years ago you wouldn’t have given much thought to owning a Rockford era TransAm or Camaro, but with the price of every other classic car being higher than the International Space Station, you sometimes have to settle for what you can afford. Personally, I’ve found these cars attractive for a while, but as […]
The C4 generation Corvette was a big styling change from the previous C3 Vette. Gone were the stingray inspired fender humps and instead the car featured Lotus Esprit meets a door style styling. It might be the exhaust fumes speaking, but the C4 is starting to grow on me. Find this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette C4 offered […]
The Chevrolet HHR (Heritage High Roof) was a retro-styled wagon crossover that followed the 2001 launch of Chrysler’s PT Cruiser by about the time to design and launch a car from scratch (i.e. 6 years). It is as if the GM car designers were sitting around applauding their latest Oldsmobile design when the PT Cruiser […]
If you’ve ever wanted a car that says you quit the night shift at Sizzler and got a raise when you starting working at Home Depot, then this is your car. It says that you are a member of the 7-11 discount club and love a fresh Slurpee in the morning. Find this 2009 Chevrolet […]
