This next tip comes from Matt C who writes: Sure, everyone knows about the Subaru WRX and Lancer EVO. The Celica All-Trac bowed out earlier, but it’s notorious for one of the most epic cheating methods in motorsports. And some rally fans will remember the Mitsubishi Gallant VR4. But how many remember Mazda’s entry? Well, you […]
We get a lot of tips of rad cars for sale here in the DT inbox, all of which are amazing to receive, but some of which stand out from others. When we get the same car tipped on the same day from two different readers, and opening the ad produces an audible “ooooh!” reaction, […]
The Fiat 128 (built from 1969-1985 in Italy…and 1980-2001 in Yugoslavia) was the original front-drive modern car [Ed. CFlo: if you don’t count the original Mini…] — it used a transverse front-engine setup that has been copied by billions of cars since, but don’t hold that against it because it certainly won’t drive like a Camry…because […]
I’m a big fan of Nissan’s 350Z offering (launch in 2002) because it reversed some of the mass and complexity of 300ZX and returned the car to its original roots — handling and affordability. But…I’ve got to admit that I’ve always been a tad disappointed that Nissan never released a lifted Dakar Rally ready version […]
The Subaru Impreza was first imported to the USofA in the 1993 model year, and the sporty WRX version wasn’t available until the year 2000 and it wasn’t until 2004 that the STI version was available. And there was much rejoicing. Find this 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STI offered for $10,500 in Reisterstown, MD via craigslist. […]
If you find a true boxy Volvo fan they will tell you a few things. First, the 140/240/740 is the best car to have ever been built because it can be a: daily driving sedan, family wagon, race car, drifter, sporty 2-door classic, custom wagon, autocrosser…I think you get the picture. But today, we’ve got a […]
The Mazda 323 was a pretty forgettable econobox sold in America based on the Japanese Mazda Familia, but there was an exception — the all-wheel-drive GTX version that put some extra zoomf in the Zoom Zoom, and today we’ve got a rally prepped example ready for dirt road hoonage for a dirt cheap price. Find […]
If you are at all a fan of the 24 Hours of LeMons, you must be familiar with the name Eyesore racing — this is the (only) team to win the trip to LeMans (in France) after winning the LeMons (the $500 junker race series). If you are a DT Radio fan, you might have […]
It is almost January, so that means it is time to consider ditching your free 2016 Harbor Freight Cashier Pin-ups calendar for something a bit more tasteful. The McKlein Wider View Rally 2017 (or Rally History or Motorsport Classic or Desktop Rally Calendar) fits that need and makes a great gift for the discerning car […]
Today marks the 30th Anniversary of the start of the 1986 Olympus World Championship Rally. The Olympus Rally was run out of Olympia, Washington and marked the end of the Group B era of the WRC and was also the first WRC round in North America since the Press On Regardless Rally in 1974. I […]
