The Carboniferous epoch, which occurred within the Paleozoic era spanning from approximately 360 to 300 million years ago, is renowned for hosting one of the most significant mass extinctions in Earth’s history, the Permian-Triassic event. It’s also the era during which the majority of present-day coal reserves were created. The automotive epoch that most closely […]
Personally, I’ve never been much of a convertible person. I don’t mind cars that only come in a topless spec (MX-5s, or Fiat Spider or Alfa Romeo Spider or Toyota MR2 Spyder or Porsche Boxster) but if a car comes with a removable top as an option…I typically go for the slick top. However, if […]
The FC variant marked the second generation of the Mazda RX-7, with production spanning from 1985 to 1991 in Japan, resulting in a global production count of over 270,000 units. Running on a Wankel rotary engine, the FC boasted remarkable agility that was a rarity among vehicles of the 1980s. While embracing the quirks of […]
I believe that Jefferson Davis “Boss” Hogg was never given a fair chance. The camera always painted him as the villain…but was he really anything more than a misunderstood servant of the people? He was constantly fat shamed for his appetite for raw liver (with coffee) and he was surrounded by entirely incompetent law enforcement […]
The third generation Pontiac LeMans was built from 1968 through 1972 on GM’s A-platform shared with the Chevrolet Chevelle, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Pontiac Grand Prix and Buick Special. It was a lineup of mid-sized sedans that filled the driveways of America before the invasion of the imports that ate the lunch right from […]

This next car comes as a tip from BP who writes: What’s not to love? Something to watch on the first day of summer soon. 13 days left on bidding. 88k. Clean underside. Sweet. OK, needs wheels, but those will give you some idea of how long this has been sitting idle in some garage […]
I’m pretty good about obscure car names, but when this next one showed up, I was a bit lost. What is a Pontiac Grand Ville? I had to do some quick internet sleuthing and it appears that the Grand Ville was a high trim version of the full sized B-body Bonneville offered from 1971-1975…not exactly […]
This next car comes as a tip from PA Cyclist who writes: Have you been dreaming of owning a Morgan? Unless you’re a certifiable lunatic with access to vast sums of money, you will have to look for something more practical such as this 2004 BMW 3-series convertible. It’s a better substitute for a Morgan […]
This next Mazda isn’t your average JDM rotary equipped apex seal spinner…no sir. This RX-7 has been given an injection of bald eagle power in the form of an LS1 V8 mated to a T56 6-speed manual gearbox AND it sports Bullitt style wheels that look straight off a late model Ford Mustang (which makes […]
