This might be the most niche offering ever to appear in this column, but somewhere out there is someone keeping the faith for Bobby Allison to a sufficient degree to want a tribute car... maybe in a well heeled retirement by now (it’s been a minute since Allison’s racing days) and able to afford to invest twelve grand…

If you think the major shortcoming of hang gliding and motocross is that neither one alone offers enough ways to die, this is the transit revolution you’ve been waiting for!

This car is claimed to be FSBO

I’ll be surprised if it isn’t snapped up quickly.

That was a common choice at that time and place for a frugal trim of a Japanese car that would never leave the sea-breeze and fog belt. Taking it even as far as the Inland Empire at this time of year, never mind crossing the deserts en route to your neck of the woods, should be worth comp time in purgatory. I think it…

A not-that-hot-by-today’s-sensibilities hatch, in a commute-beater spec with an odometer reading suggesting that’s just how it was used, with a lot of little issues and a few big ones (without even considering why it was on planned non-operation status for years), old enough that whoever bought it new is at least…

Yeah, a pretty typical “trestle,” a sort of bridge that takes train tracks over a low lying area. The seller says he’s driven the car “back and forth across the country,” so unless we blunder on someone with very local knowledge, it’s hard to say just where; they’re all over the place.

Astonishingly to me, DWI hit-and-run is just a B misdemeanor in Texas, although if the injuries are deemed “serious” the hit-and-run rises to a third-degree felony.

The crowning irony is that the cream would have been yummy whereas the silver, uh, maybe it looks better in person?

There was shrinkage!

These CAFE racers with the looks but not the powertrain of the big-boy-toy trim were pretty popular, and the first owner or two of this car probably felt pretty good about the choice as oil prices went into an era of wild fluctuations.

Are they on a fuse or a self-resetting breaker in this car?

Evem with this all-show-not-much-go powertrain, prices for the Joe Camel era of Firebirds are all over the map...but a four grand ask, private party, should fetch a distinctly less needy example. And as for the air conditioning, the forecast for Stockton says that astronomical summer may be a week away but meteorologic…

Why in the world would you spend used car money on a bicycle? Just buy a car at that point!

Superficial comps suggest that it’s overpriced by a couple thousand for its mileage, but you’re buying a particular car rather than averages, and if this one’s mechanical condition does justice to its presentation, might be worth waving off the California lifestyle tax stacked atop a dealership profit margin.  Guarded…

it seemed to be the RWD version of the sporty Dodge Daytona (they were actually very different cars, but filled their respective niches in the same way).

I am imagining Lily Tomlin’s character in “Grace and Frankie” doing this to her Prius. And now fans of the show cannot un-see the mental image of how she is holding the paintbrush.

Look, up in the sky! It’s absurd! It’s insane! It’s... overpriced, man!

My (mis)understanding is that Creech AFB is, primarily, the remote operations center for your larger unmanned aerial combat and reconnaissance aircraft, so his job might also require being more highly security cleared than the average bear. All in all, not a great look for a young officer presumably hoping to make…

a diminutive, high-revving Wankel rotary as was Mazda’s custom at the time.
