They say less is more. But who are they? Does that apply to torque from an internal combustion engine? And have they ever driven a Mazda RX-8? With 232 horsepower the 6-port Renesis has a decent amount of thrust at redline, but with only 159 ft-lbs of torque, this isn’t exactly a tractor…but if you […]
A few years ago I would have said that ten large is a stupid sum of money to pay for a first generation RX-7…but I don’t know these days. Classic cars are getting gobbled up my well heeled millennials, grubby fingered gen-Xers, and greedy boomers…but the RX-7 has been cheap for years. Maybe it’s time […]
I’m posting this next car for all of the wrong reasons. It isn’t really a good deal. It will cost the next owner more money than it will ever be worth. And it will probably cause more heartache than a teenager on methamphetamine…but this car needs to be saved. I guess this is a charity […]
This next car comes as a tip from JB1025 who writes: Just don’t see many of these from the mid 70’s too bad for the automatic but owner has a 5 speed to go for extra green $$$$$. Personally, I think it is funny how much these look like the similar vintage Isuzu I-Mark. Find this 1976 […]

The first generation RX-7 (SA/FB built in Japan from 1978 to 1985) was a interesting highlight in the sports car world of the early 80s. The RX-7’s light weight frame was propelled by a unique engine – the Mazda rotary. Find this 1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE offered for $3,500 in Sahuarita, AZ via craigslist. Tip […]
First, it was the rotary powered bikes. Those were strange. I’m not a 2-wheel guy, but the Hercules W-2000 was a make/model I’d never heard about and the RE-5 was only something I was vaguely aware of — so imagine my surprise when a link to a rotary powered snowmobile lands in my lap. […]
With all the interesting cars for sale around the web, you don’t have to be a millionaire to buy them, but you might need Jay Leno’s garage space to store them — particularly if you like inexpensive oddballs that may sit for a month or a year while you wait for a custom made part […]
Do you enjoy the style of a wide brim straw hat all year around? Do you love thumbing through pages of mind numbing arbitrary rules, or making sense of the minutes of a meeting populated by ornery cantankerous curmudgeons? Do you enjoy weighing a collection of 100 lug nuts to find the lightest ones and […]
For some reason, the Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle seems to attract Hillbillies like the Hot Pockets freezer section at your local Walmart. After the freezer door opens, and the banjos come out, strange stuff happens. Strange like putting a Renesis Wankel from a Mazda RX-8 into the back of a Volkswagen. Find this 1970 Volkswagen […]
