24 Hours of Lemons, For Sale, Terrible Ideas, Too Cheap to Pass Up, Your Next Project Car

God Help Me...

I’m a lucky man. I’m lucky to have a great little family (Junior’s 6 months as of yesterday!) and the opportunities to play the way I do. But most of all, I’m lucky this car’s in the opposite corner of the country. If it weren’t I’d be picking it up on my way home from [...]

Showdown: Obscure 4x4s Edition

Our last Showdown was a close one, one that gets right at the heart of our spirit of automotive omnivorousness (which is, apparently, a real word). Surprising (to me, at least) the $300 more expensive Vic edged out the early 5-er for the win 56 to 54, as of this writing.

AMC Hornet Rallye X 360 is Not a Rollerblade Trick

…but it kind of sounds like one. Predating the era of Oakley Frogskins and neon-green Xtreme everything by about 20 years comes this AMC Hornet sporting a groovy shade of yellow. Groovy fades to bitchin’ as we check out the drivetrain. With a warmed over 360c.i. backed up by a T-5 five speed, this compact’s [...]
