For $9,500, You Could Drive Erik the White

Carlsson on the roof is the nickname given to Saab driver and two-time Monte Carlo Rally winner Erik Carlsson. Today's 900 is named in his honor, but will you flip over its price? Nobody was flipping yesterday's , which is a good thing as who knows how strong that roll...

For $1,995, Wake Up Rip Van Wankel

Mickey's Malt Liquor is an acquired taste, but its wide-mouth bottle makes shotgunning them a snap. Today's RX7 is a wide-body, but will its price and non-runner status leave a bad taste in your mouth? Mazda was on the ropes in the mid ‘70s. Sporadic gas shortages ($0.62 a gallon!),...

For $9,000, Get a Light Sleeper

BMW is often touted as the Ultimate Driving Machine, while Ford's Mustang V8 is said to offer the biggest bang for the buck. Today's 3-Series combines them both for what's maybe the Ultimate Banging Machine? There was a lot of teeth-gnashing yesterday over the immobile , but there weren't enough...

For $6,500, Catch the CRX Du Soleil

Until replaced by the lugubrious Del Sol, Honda's CRX played the part of spunky younger brother to the Prelude as the company's sportsters. Today's turbocharged CRX demonstrates that sibling rivalries can be a good thing. A-Bee-Em-ination was as far as many of you got in describing your opinions on yesterday's...

For $4,950, It's a Scorpion That Rocks

The Lancia Scorpion's greatest foible was that it wouldn't rock you like a hurricane. Today's Turbo brings a wind of change, but will its price have you saying there's no one like you? There was definitely no one like you if, by you, it was meant a non Crack Pipe...

For $5,500, Get a Wing och en bön

There's a reason the Swedes didn't invent Buffalo Wings, and you won't find a Hëutters in Stockholm. Despite that disconnect, today's Volvo sports a wing and is kind of hot, but is its price appetizing? Did you know that in the movies, when they need to have a scorpion crawling...

For $79,500, Shoulda', Woulda', ‘Cuda

Based on her high school basketball exploits, Alaska's former governor was given the nickname of Sarah Barracuda. Like Palin, today's Plymouth Barracuda may master the rebound, but will its price keep it in the backcourt? There's no indication that Sarah Palin ever drove one of her nick-namesake Plymouths, although its...

For $6,000, This SBC-Powered Toyota Lets You Take a Quick Dump

When you were a kid, your Tonka® dump truck was powered by imagination and a good shove. Today's Toyota Dumper Mini-truck, on the other hand, is powered by a Chevy V8. Oh what a feeling! Nice as it was, yesterday's got dumped on for its price and somewhat humble mechanicals,...

For $6995, You Can Make This Bone Stock GS-R Integral to Your Life

Talk Like a Pirate Day, sadly comes but once a year. With today's Acura however, you can swashbuckle year round, as it's a GS-Arrrr.

For $6,500, Girl, I’m Just a Jeepster For Your Love

Mark Bolan and T-Rex's Jeepster is a slippery, sexy ode to love. In contrast, today's Jeepster doesn't quite ooze the sex, but even so, you might find its price something to love. The Acura Integra, especially in GS-R or balls to the wall Type-R form, has a reputation for handling...

For $8,000, Mmmmm, Coupe.

The Surf Punks famously derided wave riding interlopers in their song Locals Only. The seller of today's Fort Collins, CO-located M Coupe exhibits a similar territorial limitation. The singer of Jeepster, Marc Bolan's death was due to a car wreck rather than the rock star typical drug overdose. Likewise, the...

For $5,000, This Turbo 240Z Does a Striptease

For no particular reason, it's Nissan Week here at , and today's Forecast calls for BRE-Z weather with a chance of a localized high pressure zone. Okay, first things first, this is NOT a real BRE 240Z - probably - but it does play one on TV but the paint...

For $2,500, Maximus Five Speedicus

This week it's Nissans up the wazoo here on , and today we're taking it to the Max. Like a hot girl with an STD, yesterday's was considered something best to be appreciated from afar. That was despite its guttural exhaust note - reminiscent of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister's vocal...

Nov 17, 2024

For $20,000, It’s The Schuylkill Express

is all about the Nissans this week, and to get us over the hump, we're taking a look at the Philly Skyline. While seemingly incongruous, a 280ZX base, married to an interior that would not have seemed out of place in a Buick - or your grandma's living room -...

For $1,500, To Infiniti and Beyond!

While it's here at , that doesn't mean we'd kick crazy aunt Infiniti to the curb, so today we're going to give her a spin, and see if she'll drop her top for us. Yesterday's was sadly obscured by the miasma of Crack Pipe smoke. A full 61% said that...
