This next van, like all vans, exudes a certain degree of sketchiness…not to the level of the infamous “Free Candy” van, but its on the spectrum. However, with the sweet Star Wars graphics, rad staggered mag wheels, and roof mounted wing, you are far more likely to attract 40-something year old men named Kevin instead […]
I love weird stuff. Really. Bizarrods, Citroëns, and rare French cars really get me going in the morning..but NOTHING beats a good homage to the Stars…not celebrities, but Star Trek or Star Wars. And this next one is a dooooozy. Find this 1984 Jeep DJ5 Star Destroyer offered for $1000 in Houston, TX via craigslist. Tip […]
Remember that Star Wars Christmas Special — the one where Bea Arthur sang a song in the Mos Eisley Cantina and then everybody does hallucinogenic mushrooms and watches cartoons…yeah, that was a terrible combination of machines and men but this next thing from 1977 (the year Star Wars hit the big screen) might renew some […]
Today is Star Wars day — May the force be with you! Can you believe that Star Wars is 40 years old? To give some reference, the corollary to Star Wars back in 1977 was a movie that came out in 1937, like Shirley Temple’s Heidi or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Now, do you […]
Just in time for Star Wars day, this Bradley GT is back for sale from what is likely the same seller. The Bradley GT was a stylish kit car that used a Type 1 Beetle donor car, but somebody realized that the Corvair engine is far superior and updated this one to a Bradvair. Find […]
This next custom built monster is modeled after an imperial troop transport vehicle from some Star Wars extended universe cartoon, but I’d say it looks more like a rolling refrigerator with a few guns mounted up front. Find this 1980 Ford E250 Van offered for $1,500 in San Leandro, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On! […]
Time for DT’s Coffee Brake, where the coffee is over ice and the eggs are over easy. Speaking of easy….it is easy enough to know what you DON’T want for Christmas — a Prius, syphilis, a jar full of hungry spiders with a lid made from graham crackers, or a night on the town with […]
Welcome to another edition of DT’s Thursday Twister,the game that keeps giving, and today we venture into the land of fantasy. Episode VII heads into theaters this week, and I think it would be a good time to venture into the Star Wars universe — naturally here is where things get geeky. The question is […]
If you’ve been following the news recently, you may have read that Jake Lloyd, the actor who played young Anakin Skywalker in that terrible Star Wars prequel, was involved in a high speed chase that ended in a car crash and incarceration. The problem was that Lloyd was driving a Nissan Maxima, a great car […]
Geeks around the world celebrate May 4th (and its groan inducing pun) as Star Wars day with a commemoration of all things that were great associated with the original trilogy (Ep 4,5,6). We will not speak about the intolerable abomination that was Ep 1,2,3, but instead join in the fun with this tailgate mural’d 2005 […]
