I has a 99 Wrangler, worst thing I ever did was pull the bolts and fold the windshield down one summer day , the seal never was right again and every time it rained water ran either into the interior (inconvenient but tolerable) or flooded the back of the dashboard (horrific short circuiting). I fit of desperation I…

The SLR was the corporate nose at the time, possibly one of the best looking mercs since the Gullwing, it just didn't print well on smaller cars, it needs the epically long hood to set it properly

Buyer Beware, I picked up a garbage disposal and since I didn’t have the time bought the “installation” package from amazon for $150. Turns out that the plumber has posted the “installation” as a “replacment” (as in you already have a disposal installed). Charged me an additional $120 over and above what I had already…

An unmolested Honda of that Era is impressive, NP all day

I'd love to do gumball rally, vanishing point and a, recreation of the top gear southern states special (minus the anti gay portion)

Where I live, the local officials would have put an end to this almost immediately,, their zoning basically states that if it isn’t registered and driveable then it needs to be in the garage, and the neighbors watch like hawks. My Saab 900 convertible is in need of repair so it’s in the garage with the wife’s SUV, the…

conditional NP, I would want to make sure when they rebuilt the head that they also replaced the cam chain and guides, and that the oil pan is sludge free.

there was something up with the GEO/Chevy versions, not sure what went wrong there since the same plant eventually produced matrix and vibes for Toyota/GM, but yeah the 1.8 in the prizm, while the same motor, seemed to be plagued by oil issues, friend had one, we traced it back finally to the original owner (to 50k…

a used Corolla has replaced the used Civic as the goto car for “kid needs a car” car. Used Civics are hard to find unmolested (aka engine swapped, stanced, body kit, ruined) whereas absolutely pristine Corollas (corolli?) are available for reasonable pricing almost everywhere. The 1.8 and 2.4 engines are fairly bullet…

I recently got my hands on a 98 v70, I never owned a Volvo before, but am quite familiar with saabs. My buddy had a blue 240BL wagon back in the day and it was a remarkably durable car. After a month driving the v70, I really like it, I like the way they engineered things

A friend of mine recently sent me a pic of your bug at the grocery store in Brooklyn, he always wanted one, he was shocked when I told him that it was an Internet celebrity, keep it rolling

If I was in the market for something truck like I would be looking at the Ridgeline, I need to occasionally move kids to/from college, right now my 18 yr old v70 does that and makes sense

not collectible really, not that great of a wagon, and 10k for anything with north of 170K on the clock is a bridge too far - CP

My most horrific car story that does not involve an accident, does involve a chevette. I helped a buddy out by driving a 77 chevette with 4spd from Philly to Stroudsburg PA in 1986. I have never thought I was going to die some many times in one car during one trip. Semi’s blew it around on the highway, brakes were…

It’s going to be a bit before these “pop” on the collector market, then it’ll be worth 11.5, till then? 6 max. These cars were utter crap from an execution standpoint, a friend had a Omni in HS in the 80's, cramped, fragile and just felt “wrong”

having just purchased a 98 V70 GLT/AWD, I look on this with lust in my heart

exactly, a few years ago we needed a car for one the kids, went looking for early 90's honda’s. And never found one that wasn’t stanced, engine swapped, body kitted and/or generally screwed with.If you do find one that is all original, you end up in a bidding war with someone who has more money than brains and their…

I absolutely love the 70's Z cars, owned one (Black on Black 77 280, 2 seat, 4spd), and immediately disliked the 280ZX (Disco Z) and the 300ZX (electro dash Z). But this version? does wonders for me. 4k for a unmolested one? sure... this one? not so much. - CP

recently purchased a 98 Volvo V70 GLT with tasteful wood trim , it does add a sense of class to the cabin, not exactly the aesthetic I would want in a Porsche 911, but not in a burn it with fire way
