The 914 was meant to slot into Porsche’s showrooms below the premium 911 but to also fill the top of VW/Audi’s lineup with a Volkswagen badge. But the suits at Porsche didn’t want to risk having the VW nameplate tarnish its image and convinced VW to allow it to sell all 914’s exclusively through its […]
I’ve mentioned the phenomenon of the carbage collector before…but I’ll give a refresh for the new kids in the class. If you’ve ever wondered why certain cars seem to collect on your neighbors lawn like they are in a captive breeding program, it’s because of the market dynamics for when parts availability is sketchy, used […]
Another day, another hideous Poorch 917 replica…I know what yer thinkin. You’re thinking that the guys at DailyTurismo are hitting the bourbon early these days. No, not yet…the coronavirus drinking games are still mostly done after 5 o’clock…but what I can tell you is that I’d love the idea of driving something with a ludicrous […]
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 […]
Why have I been featuring so many kit cars these days? Is wanting to drive a home built car that looks like a crappy version of something awesome a lesser known symptom of coronavirus? I thought I was coughing from the fumes from this leaky Volkswagen engine, but maybe its the COVID?? Is it social […]
I know what you are thinking. Forty-five hundred bones for a Porsche 928 that doesn’t have a driver’s seat…that’s a lot of money. But the seller does say it fires up and runs (despite the reputation, these things aren’t that bad…and were well engineered from the factory) and the exterior paint/body looks amazing if it […]
As a non-Porsche owner, it has been painful to watch the rise in prices of vintage aircooled P-cars…but I’ve been watching the prices of the 996/997 and they offer a shocking amount of performance and comfort (sorry 993 owners…but they are faster and more comfy…maybe not as cool…) for the cash. To be honest, I’m […]
I wish I could tell you that I’ve got some magic crystal ball that’ll tell me what makes/models are going to see serious appreciation in the next decade or two…because I would never have guessed that 80s Porsche 911s, 60s Ford Broncos or 90s Toyota Supras would trade for the coin they get these days…But […]
The Porsche 928 was released into the wild in 1977 as the presumed replacement for the aging 911, but the complex mechanical design and less than thrilling driving experience meant it played second fiddle to the tail happy OG Porsche. Today, prices for the 928 haven’t appreciated nearly in the same psychotic manner as the […]
I’ve been a serious skeptic of craigslist adverts for as long as I can remember, but craigslist started charging $5 to list a car, which isn’t a ton of money, but certainly weeds out the scammers who post a million underpriced cars each day AND the idiots who post their car for some obscene price […]
