When I first saw this monstrosity for sale on Craigslist, I was ready to get all snarky on it and talk about what a horrible creation it was, what was this guy thinking, who would ever buy it, blah-de-blah-blah… But then I followed the link in the ad to an interview with the builder and…

The Weirdness Overcomes You: 1969 Citroen DS Wagon

Citroen. Aside from an unfortunate English translation associating it with an idiomatic expression for a fault-laden automobile, the name is synonymous with different. They went front wheel drive when no one else did. While others rocked good ‘ol springs and shocks, in very un-French fashion decided that passivism was no the way to approach suspension design. While…

Porque vivimos in la ciudad del Los Ángeles, a veces tenemos que practicar hablando o escribiendo en español. Hoy tenemos un oportunidad con un Maserti México. Este Mexico tiene un V8 de 4.2 litros y un caja manual. Esta in condición muy crudo con mucha roya, pero viene con unas cajas de partes…probablemente casi todos que se necesita, menos los mas raros.…

[Part 2 in a series. Read Part 1 here!] I obviously wouldn’t be riding the Honda almost halfway across the country, as I was too much of a wuss to even take it around the block. “Want to take it for a ride?” Don had suggested in a hopeful tone. I took a look at…

I ran this story over a year ago when I was still writing for Car Throttle. It serves as a reminder that what you buy on-line is not necessarily what’s presented.

If You're Not Attracted to this Alfa, There's Probably Something Wrong with You

comments
If you’re reading this, something may well already be wrong with you, but that’s the right kind of wrong. Failure to recognize the attractiveness of this fine piece of Italian engineering is a definite sign of the wrong kind of wrong. Up for auction is a 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000, complete with Alfa’s SPICA…

Metacars Invades Craigslist with Parody Civic Ad?

comments
The great XKCD once challenged readers to write a youtube comment so dumb people would know it must be fake. It’s nearly impossible. Such is the case with Craigslist ads for super JDM ricemobiles. Mr Howser sent this in, and we’re pretty sure it’s a spoof…but then again, it we’ve seen stranger ads on the…

Yes, we’re all grown-ups here. Well, most of us are, anyhow. But many of us still indulge ourselves in some rather childish hobbies.

Rare Sterling 827 SLi Hatch is a Tempting Anglo-Japanese Grab Bag of Win, Horror

Let’s say you want a mid-size, V6-powered 5-door hatchback with a manual transmission, but first-gen Mazda 6 prices have got you down because your budget constraints are lower. Like, picking through other peoples trash for recyclable items flipping ground beef patties lower. What’s a hoon to do? Move to Europe – where 5-doors and wagons…

Was That Really Necessary?

It’s Friday, so you’re probably in a good mood. We’re here to ruin that with this ’82 Bronco chassis-ed ’98 Eclipse. It’s managed to combine a body kit with 33 inch tires. A bumping single 15″ sub with a Hazzard County grade push bar. The Eclipse strikes a somewhat “urban” note, but it’s photographed in…
