I hate paying premium price for anything…which is why I spend a large part of my day obsessing over used cars, scouring the web for cars that have depreciated into the basement and can be purchased with your coronavirus stimulus check. However…there is something captivating about time capsule cars — those which appear to have […]
The daddy of the modern minivan was built on a modified version of Chrysler’s K-Car platform with which it shared engines and much running gear, but the backbone was something that Lee Iacocca and Hal Sperlich called the T-115 platform…which was just a beefy version of the K-car. The Chrysler minivan was billed as an […]
This next car comes as a tip from JB1025 who writes: Pretty Cool motor-home. Yes, yes, it is — and I’ve seen a bunch of cool motor homes in the past few years including that Toyota Townace pop-out, and a Clark Cortez (or two) and that BMW diesel powered Vixen…but this next car is a sweet […]
The new for 1978 Malibu took the Chevelle’s place in the Chevy line up. The A-body Malibu went through similar downsizing and weight loss program that the Impala went through. It would not be a stretch to think of the square jawed Malibu as the American Volvo 240. Today’s Malibu is particularly noteworthy because it […]

Maybe you were too young to afford a Miata when they were first released. Perhaps you had the first-gen model long ago and want to relive the experience. It could be that you are a collector who thinks the original might go up in value and you want a great specimen. Here is your chance […]
The second generation Mazda RX-7 was known as the FC and over 270,000 examples were built in Japan from 1985-1991 for worldwide consumption. The FC was, of course, powered by a Wankel rotary engine and featured the athletic reflexes matched by few cars in the 1980s. If you can live the eccentricities of the odd […]
The original Acura Integra “Teggy” was released for the US market in 1985 as a pop-up headlight equipped hatchback — both 3-door and 5-door variants were available. It is a fool’s errand to attempt and quantify the number that have been turned into “race cars”, but let’s just say that the streets of suburbia were […]
The final entry for Maximum Sunday is a classic rear-drive sedan from the Datsun era. The first generation Maxima was badged as the Datsun 810, later Datsun Maxima, and finally Nissan Maxima. This was the only generation of Maxima to be rear-wheel-drive and shared many components with the 910 series Bluebird. Find this 1983 Datsun […]
