Do you know what is better than a Bugatti kit car built on a VW chassis offered for fair price at an estate sale? Do ya? Yeah. Two Bugatti replicars offered for a reasonable price. According to the seller there is a large collection of other memorabilia and junk from someone named Mark Behar, who […]
The 5th generation of Volkswagen’s Jetta platform is known by Dub-fans as the Mark V and was only sold for the 2006 through 2010 model years. It used more CAN connectors throughout the chassis in an attempt to reduce the number of wires running throughout the chassis and fight some of the reputation VW had […]
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that $8k is a lot of money to spend on an aging Mercedes-Benz sedan…and that you think perhaps you want a cheap project version of the same car. Mmmm. That is an interesting idea, but I can tell you (from personal experience) that you are going […]
I’ve never owned a Beetle, but if I did, it would look something like this next one. I know, the front end is a bit cross-eyed, and the interior is skuzzy, but there is something about the Star Wars themed two-tone paint and the big wheels/tires that makes this thing pop. It probably makes some […]
The E36/7 generation of BMW Z3 roadster might have had a passing resemblance to a Mazda Miata, but don’t assume it is a hairdresser’s car because the M version is nuts. Today’s Z3 is an M Roadster with the earlier S52 inline-6 that might only makes 240 horsepower in US spec, but these are not […]

The Type 181 Volkswagen Thing is not a pretty car…but it is pretty useful. The thing started life in the 1960s as an off-road capable light vehicle designed for West German military use, but VW built a civilian version a few years later. Today we’ve got an example that looks like it’s ready for the […]
The E90 generation BMW 3-series was built from 2005 through 2011 in a variety of body styles. Today’s example is a E90 sedan, but there is also the E91 touring wagon, E92 coupe, and E93 convertible. Powering today’s sedan is an N53B25 straight-6 that uses a magnesium alloy block and dual-overhead cams to push 228 […]
My own personal taste in automobiles can be peculiar at times and I don’t often find cars that are unversally admired by the random people that come and go in my life. However, the W124 chassis Mercedes-Benz might just jump the gap between eclectic tastes of my friends and family…in particular the wagon version is […]
It was a strange world of coincidences when this next car came across the DT tips box. I was in Hawai’i on vacation when tipper Cory sent in this next beauty, which I would have loved to visit in person if I was on the same island, but alas my snorkeling skills aren’t strong enough […]
