The 4th generation E70 Toyota Corolla was the last RWD platform that extended across the entire Corolla lineup (the AE86 “Hachi-Roku” coupe remained RWD for the next generation, but within a few years everything was front-drive, understeering, no-fun, appliance-city). The Corolla was a simple economy car with no particular designs on world domination, but it […]
The Toyota Starlet KP61 generation was the first and only Starlet sold in the US Market and in 1985 it was replaced by the Toyota Corolla FX-16. Unfortunately, the FX-16 that replaced it was a front drive un-fun box, but the Starlet was setup with proper rear wheel drive…not that you could tell with the 3 […]
People love to exaggerate on their craigslist advertisements. This is the lowest mile Maserati BiTurbo on craigslist or This is the nicest salvage titled M3 for sale in Ft Lauderdale…but this next seller starts with a simple statement: For Sale…the fastest Bay Area MG midget around. Yup. I’m just gonna nod my head and agree. Find […]
Remember when Mazda purchased the rights to build the Volkswagen Beetle and started shoving 13B rotary engines into version that were setup from the factory as Baja racers, and then Donald Trump was sworn in as president. Wait…that stuff didn’t happen? It was just a dream. But you were there…and you…and you… Find this 1969 […]
Mention the Sunbeam car brand in North America and instantly the next comment will include something about their Tiger model. Lesser known is the Alpine, otherwise known as “Tiger’s little brother”.

By Matt –– Forgive me for making assumptions here but you, me, and all of our friends are priced out of the original Mazda Cosmo, Skyline GT-R, and Toyota 2000GT, among many other things. Most of us would have to switch to Ramen diets to even afford an RX-3 or 240Z that isn’t made of […]
The original Datsun 510 Bluebird was sold in the US market from 1968 through 1973 on a well engineered compact unibody platform that used MacPherson strut suspension up from and semi-trailing arms out back. Power came from a SOHC 4-banger that was basically Nissan’s 240Z engine with two cylinders lopped off, but today’s 510 is […]
The E36 generation BMW 3-series was released in 1990 with “dolphin shape” styling by Darrin Boyer and Joji Nagashima — but this car isn’t known for its styling, it is known as the benchmark for 90s sedan handling. The Z-axle multilink suspension out back and MacPherson strut with rack-n-pinion up front wasn’t tuned to punish […]
There has been a deluge of keg powered cars around here, so I figure why not continue that flood by posting a 13B powered Porsche 914. Not only does this car have a spinning rotor (or two) tucked behind the driver, but it wears an outlandish body kit that makes it look like a red […]
