This week’s Mid Week Match-Up is for DT regular Fleetwood T. Brougham who writes from the Nashville, TN area with the following request:.

This week’s Mid Week Match-Up is just for fun — head to your local craigslist, eBay, cars.com or whatever and find me the best sub $1000 running/driving car with a manual gearbox that you could drive daily for the next year.

For this week’s Mid Week Match-Up, I’d like to ask your help to find a first car for my son…but the problem is that he is a 10 years old. So find the best car to buy for a kid in 6 years — maybe something newish that is expensive today, but should be cheap in […]

This week’s Mid Week Match-Up, victim is DT logo guru and godfather Kaibeezy who is looking for something to replace the Citroen Xantia that has only driven a few miles since he picked it last year for about the price of a used set of snow tires. I guess you get what you pay for and Kaibeezy is […]
Today’s Mid Week Match-Up request is for LM who needs a car for his daughter who is about to turn 16. It needs to be something that will teach her the finer aspects of responsibility and car ownership without being dangerous or too expensive to repair. Budget $5k. I am going to suggest a late […]
This week’s Mid Week Match-Up, victim is a hypothetical person we shall call “Dwood” — and the thing he needs is a fast/fun/daily driver for less than $10k, but it needs to be a unique car with very limited production…like no more than 1,000 examples sold in the USA. Go. Do your worst. Find something limited.
