The Honda CRX was an interesting two-seat front-drive economy sports car that really shook up the market when it was introduced in 1983. There were few other cars on the road that could be optioned to get 40mpg city/50mpg highway (in the CRX HF) or provide an exhilarating driving experience (CRX Si). Today’s CRX is […]
I’m no Nostradamus, but I can tell you a few things about the future — first, we are going to drive around in electric cars (some of us, the rest will probably have to take the bus) and second, the Honda CRX is going to be a collectable classic. It has the right combination of […]
There are a few key things that I like about this next ride. FIRST, is the color. I’m a sucker for bronze/copper/gold paint that doesn’t look like something aftermarket rattle can job…and this looks appropriately bronze without the brassy tones you’d expect from a bad dye job. NEXT, the price is reasonable. And finally, those […]
It is truly remarkable how a 62 horsepower car that does 0-60 in about 14 seconds Dodge Demon got me all misty eyed searching for victims to write about. The fuel sipping CRX HF 40 city mpg and 47 highway mpg ratings are impressive to this day. The most difficult part of owning this car […]
The economy swings up and down as measured by various indexes and it needs to, because how else will the billionaires make more billions if the market was stagnant and just slowly growing….this is Market 101 here folks, nothing you shouldn’t have learned at prep school. Anyway, as the market swings up and down, so […]
When shopping for an expensive used Italian car you have to dance the fine line between douche bag and cool dude. If you buy anything with the prancing horse logo on the side, you instantly are painted with the douchebag brush. Same goes for anything with a bull on the side, and lets face it, […]
Beware the non-idling cars of March, celebrated today on the ides of March. Picking up a car that doesn’t run isn’t simply a risk associated with the cost of the engine that you need to sort/fix/rebuild. It also means that you can’t test the transmission, brakes, suspension, steering and often a car with a busted […]
We featured a sweet Lancia Delta HF Integrale a few weeks back, but it was located in the UK, importation was left as a problem for any bidders and it was pricey…but what if you could find another Lancia Delta HF located a few thousand miles closer for half the price but missing the Integrale […]
The Lancia Delta was a little Giugiaro designed crap box that shared most of its architecture with the Fiat Ritmo and Saab 600 and would have been a totally forgettable car if not for the HF Integrale version with 6 back-to-back World Rally Championship constructor’s title from 1987-1992. The standard Delta’s naturally aspirated front drive […]
