    Do you like superchargers? I do. I think the original Mad Max film drilled it in my brain that when an engine has a hat that goes WHIRRRR good things happen. So on a recent drive of the Durango Hellcat, I shouted that the engine produces something called Super Duper Screamo Party Time. A viewer/reader…

    A DeLorean DMC-12 is a rare car. The total estimated production run is 8,975 vehicles, which isn’t small but it’s also not a huge amount. This means coming across one for sale isn’t that common an occurrence. What about coming across two for sale? And what about if both examples have crazy low mileage. Now…

    I’ve long thought that the 1UZ engine is the mill I prefer for engine swaps over the more ubiquitous 2JZ swap. The sound of a V8 is far more appealing to me. And there are plenty of 1UZ engines out there to find. I once saw once stuffed under the hood of a ratty pre-runner…

    Distract yourself with these distinctly different SUVs from across the decades. Bringatrailer rarely disappoints when I’m in the mood to drool over all the Porsche 356s. I did find the Porsches that I was looking for, but I also found a bunch of vintage SUVs. 1969 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Kia recently adopted the K5 monicker…

    This is a prime example of a machine that probably doesn’t get the love it deserves. Or at least, when it’s been transformed in such a fantastic manner. The owner of this 1992 Ford Escort GT has taken this car to another level. Yes sure, it’s still a front-wheel-drive economy car. But now it’s one…

    I’m a sucker for a good green paint job. And this W210-generation 2001 Mercedes-Benz E320 wagon wears its green hue well. It’s for sale locally on Craigslist and I’m telling myself I don’t need this one right now. But I’m having a hard time listening to my brain at the moment. Do I wish the…

    You do not see a ton of Daihatsu products roaming the streets. If you’re going to come across one, it’s probably going to be either a HiJet, a Charade, or a Rocky. Today we’re talking about that last one, because I just found one for sale on Craigslist. It’s a 1991 Rocky located in Laguna…

    I’d love to have a ready-to-roll overland setup. There are no plans to convert my Montero to something like this. So it would need to be a different vehicle. Something small would be nice, as it would prove easy to park when not in use and maneuverable on most trails. It’s too bad we don’t…

    The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most dependable, rugged, capable vehicles on the market, if not the most. With its brawny styling, overbuilt engine, and go-anywhere toughness, many would consider it the ultimate Toyota SUV. It isn’t, though. In the 1990s, Toyota one-upped itself by creating the Mega Cruiser, which is essentially the Japanese equivalent…

    I mean, I’m not really going to tell you what to do with your money. But if you’ve got the funds, why not buy this 1994 Audi RS2 Avant for sale on Bring A Trailer? This particular model is a left-hand drive example that was imported into the US back in July of 2020. That…
