So I was perusing Tijuana craigslist the other day…and wait…there’s a Tijuana craigslist? I thought all of craigslist was basically a virtual version of TJ? Anyway, it is everything you’d expect when searching craigslist cars-and-trucks by owner — Corvettes, Isuzu trucks, bulldogs, parrots, and then I found a B13 Nissan Sentra that was made in […]
I know it would be a bad idea to buy a Fiat 500 Abarth. There must be a reason these things are so cheap. Right? Even in the middle of the biggest stupid used car inflation period in the history of wheels, the Fiat 500 is still one of the cheapest cars you can get […]
I’ve never had much more than a passing desire to own a Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle that wasn’t transmogrified into some kind of dune buggy or monster truck. I guess I’d prefer an earlier version because they have a more classic look, but the newer ones have more amenities and performance (today’s Beetle even has functioning factory stock A/C). This next one looks like a 1970s Super Beetle, but it is actually a Mexican import built in a factory in 1993. Amazing when you consider the type 1 design was first released in 1938. Find this 1994 Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle offered for $7,900 in Delary Beach, FL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
I was watching some sort of big box streaming service on the tele the other day (how much longer can we go without live sports or a new season of the Grand Tour…?!?!?) and I stumbled upon a little gem starring the short guy from Top Gear — a show called Richard Hammond’s Big. Many […]
To say that Volkswagen built a bunch of Beetles is an understatement on the order of a statement like: Nothing ruins a good lasagne like a layer of shower drain hair between the noodles and mozzarella. Volkswagen built over 21 million of these things in the 65 years of production — this one comes from […]
It is a miracle that the SRT-10 Ram concept ever made it past the bean counters at Chrysler’s corporate HQ, and it was even a bigger surprise that 9,527 of these Mexican built monsters found buyers when new. Find this 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 here on eBay bidding for $16,600 reserve-not-met with a few hours […]
Surprisingly, the German built Taunus P3 was a relatively common car in Mexico in the ’60s. Like delicious tacos al pastor, the Mexican car market is and was a microcosm of a merging of cultures. Renaults, Peugeots, and Taunii shared the roads with huge American Iron. In fact, the Taunus did somewhat resembly a sectioned […]
By Matt — We’ve all got those one or two friends who are game for a road trip with zero notice. Do they have current passports that haven’t been revoked? Generally scrupulous and unwilling to make side-smuggling deals for quick cash? Ok, good. Now is the time to guilt them into the 2,100 mile road […]
Early in March 2016 I had the opportunity to travel down to Léon, Guanajuato – a 440 year old Mexican city full of 1.6 million people – for the only North American round of the World Rally Championship. WRC Rally México, as it’s officially known, is the first gravel round and the 3rd rally in […]
Welcome back to another edition of DT’s weekly quiz show, the Thursday Twister where we make little hats out of post-it notes and see if the float on a vat of used transmission fluid (spoiler alert — they do!). According to a recent Forbes article, Mexico will soon be the car capital of the Americas, […]
