I looked down on Suzuki Samurais in high school thinking they were nothing but weak engined, tin-can “cute utes” that had no offroad prowess and had nothing to compete with against full-size American pickups or my ‘87 Range Rover. However, a few trips to Uwharrie National Forest and some semi-legal powerlines routes…

I would love it if Toyota teamed up with Ken to promote the Yaris GR and TRD Truck/SUV lineup

Shipping from Southhampton UK to NYC was $1,500. I also paid for ground transport from the London area to Southhampton for $332. Customs was $177 (dependent on the value of the car you are importing, so this was cheap)  and another $7 for some other fee. You will also need to pay a broker to retreive the vehicle on…

I imported a BMW e30 touring a few years ago based solely on some pics on ebay.co.uk and the seller’s description. Not going to lie: I was nervous. SO many things could have gone wrong with this import to Chicago.

I rented a trailer at 1975 W North Ave, Melrose Park, IL (Chicagoland) and I was blown away by the location. Uhaul renovated a former Jewe=Osco office building. It has some serious mid-century modern and architecture cred too. I was so happy they did that I emailed Uhaul thanking them. Keep it up, Uhaul!

I have always wished someone (other than me, ideally) would have developed a Range Rover Classic into a road-racing car. Imagine one of these slammed to the ground on big (for the era) 16s or 17s and a TON of weight taken out. They could be easy adapted to RWD only and that all aluminum V8 with the aluminum bodywork…

2020 Update: Ebay is still a good tool but increasingly, BringaTrailer.com and Carsandbids.com are useful for tracking history of more enthusiast-oriented cars.

They look like the VW wheel spokes are a little more curved inward and the Saab ones straighter, to me at least. 

I know the ones you mean. Good question, I wonder if these are the same.

“This one is missing one notable Talladega feature, and that’s the model’s unique seven-spoke BBS 17 inch alloys.”

Apparently, the Mondeo wagon is the car you import to please your mistress.

An Astro/Safari with AWD would rock. Even if its not a conversion van and just a regular one, they have lots of room.

“Fiat 500 Abarth or a Mini Cooper S”

The choice is theirs if they wish to take the old, longer route. No one is forcing them to take the toll tunnel. 

Thank you for putting to digital paper what I was thinking in my head. 

Sure, it could be. It could also be a 1990 e30 M3 backdated to look like a lowly 325e or a S10 blazer with an e30 chassis but....how likely is that and how like is your idea? Not very, just saying.

Those flares are worth whatever you paid for this. Well bought.
