With the dropping of the New Years Ball in Times Square on January 1, the roll over of the yearly odometer brings a fresh crop of 25 year old crocks legal for import into the Land of the Free. NHTSA’s 25 year rule makes anything from class of 1993 eligible for E-Z importation into the […]
For this week’s Thursday Twister, I’m going to share this link of a charity auction here on eBay (bidding for $530 with 1 day to go) for a 2-day drifting class with 1 night RV camping (for 2 guests) and ask — what is the best way to spend a weekend for a car lover? See a better […]

Today’s Thursday Twister quiz was inspired by a comment from tipper Rock On who sent in the next car with the following critique: The opioid crisis is much larger than I anticipated! Find this 1969 Volkswagen Custom Hot Rod offered for $12,000 in Grand View, ID via craigslist. For today’s Twister — find the car that […]
