I love a good classic AMC Pacer with wood sides as much as the next red blooded American, but one that was driven by Sophie Marceau in a crappy late nineties movie that she starred next to David Spade (Lost & Found, 1999)…count me triple in!! Wait…hang on, you expect me to believe that David […]
The BMW 2002 is one of those all-time greats that represents what was possible when an automaker got the whole package just right. It’s compact but roomy, sporty yet practical, good looking but not flashy, reasonably powered, spry handling, and easy to maintain. Values for these are all over the map at the moment, but […]
With the New Year just passed we couldn’t avoid watching Rob Reiner’s classic When Harry Met Sally (1989). We say couldn’t avoid because each year around New Years Eve it plays 24/7 on several major networks but it is a classic movie to get into the spirit of New Years. Today’s feature is the car […]

The movie stars a young Bruce […]

The Daily Turismo is proud to announced a new special feature – the Tinsel Towncar – where we feature our favorite cars from TV and Movies, not the actual show cars, but a reasonable facsimile that you can buy for cheap! Our first feature is of the cars of the Rockford Files; the Universal Studios/Roy […]
