    It’s December. Those even vaguely familiar with the car business will know the significance of that statement. December is arguably the best time of year to buy a new car. This late in the annum, dealers are eager to move last year’s inventory to make room for the next great thing. If you’re lucky, you…

    Japan nails the rad van segment. There are tons of amazing options offered over the years, and they typically are given equally amazing names. Things like the Bongo, Star Wagon and Space Gear, and also the Toyota HiAce. If you want to add some of this wonder into your world, we’ve found a great example…

    I know Lamborghinis are often considered spaceships on the road but I don’t think it was meant to be taken so literally. When I saw this on Twiter I tried so hard to find a reason as to why. Like who was it at the social media meeting that suggested that they do a photoshoot…

    Today is Thursday. It’s a day for the trucks. So I fired up my local Craigslist-motron, and typed “truck” into the search bar. I found a few interesting rides. But then I found the best one. This is a 1960 GMC pickup. I’m not sure if this still gets the Apache name or if this…

    AEV, American Expedition Vehicles, is well known for its complete Jeep modifications and parts. They take a no-nonsense approach to modifying and improving not only Jeeps but other 4x4s as well. They are so good that over the years a few vehicle makers worked directly with them to improve their factory offerings. One of the…

    Having recently sold my Project Integra on Bring-a-Trailer (more on that later), I started casually looking around for its pointless replacement. I started with Craigslist, of course, and it again proved itself to be a complete win/fail. Right on the first page on my local listings was the pictured homemade jewel. Based on a 1977…

    I recently spent time with a modern Mercedes-Benz G-Class and loved it. Many I ask about the older ones, however, say they are terrible to drive. I think I can deal with that, as my F100 wasn’t exactly a Lexus. And my Montero probably feels fairly similar in comparison to the older G. I’d love…

    There are a number of things you need to in order to have a successful sale of your vehicle on Bring-a-trailer dot com. We discussed that your vehicle should be clean, or better yet, professionally detailed. Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, it’s a good idea to hire a professional photographer. While beauty…

    I love to look at project cars online. However, I am discouraged continuously because of the difficulty of getting the car home. I don’t own a car trailer, but I have spent time looking for one. I have never considered a Motorhome to solve my transporting issues. This 1975 GMC Motorhome has been converted into…

    This 1965 Mercedes-Benz L319/L407 Fire Truck is currently for sale on Bring a Trailer. The BaT commenters are fired up about it too. Not really. This truck was used as an actual fire truck in Germany before being imported into North America and is currently located in British Columbia. Powertrain The power comes from a…
