Toyoburu twins for not having a hatchback. Here me out on this, the cars are relatively cheap. Unlike say, a new Porsche, which is likely to be a second or third car, the Toyoburu is likely to be bought as a daily driver by a young man of modest to middling means.

I was mostly in the driver’s seat at start up. Mine didn’t smoke or use oil between changes, though there may have been a small puff on start up. ‘85 GS, aka the Silver Bullet.

The first generation RX7s were routinely good for 100,000 miles plus, which wasn’t bad for back then, and I would say much better than the RX8.  If they would have improved on that I think the RX8 and rotary could have been a winner, but I think the development focus was more on HP and MPG.

That is not a bad looking car, if it had the 8 and manual (don’t know if that was an option) would be a pretty interesting car.

Yeah, I almost said in my own comment this is a $4000 grand pre-Covid car, but I don't know that $7,500 is out of line with current market.

Road & Track or Car and Driver did a comparison between the Capri and a Miata. As I recall the turbo Capri was slightly faster in a straight line, but they said the Miata did everything else better, a lot better.

Not my cup of tea, but maybe nice price to somebody...if it didn't have a leak and the A/C worked.  The vinyl interior doesn't help the cause, no dice.

Damn the KZ900 is a nice looking bike,not this one so much, as the shots aren’t the best and the cuffs don’t seem to match the collar on the paint, but I am stuck in the 70s and early 80s for bike styling, most all the modern stuff looks like a humbacked bug.

“In my youth, I was convinced that a mid-seventies Kawasaki KZ900 was the new Kawasaki, all yellow and black, of Mountain Goats fame. In retrospect, I’m not sure why I ever thought John Darnielle was old enough for that to be true, but the bike itself remains absolutely gorgeous. Picture yourself atop this, with the…

Great story, really didn't know what to expect, but the author didn't just say the little Mitsu was a surprisingly fun track toy, he let us live the experience with him.  As others have said, this is good content, and I almost want to go out and buy one now.

I was ready to NP until I saw the rear view with the tailgate open, it goes past patina and l does look like a war zone. I think you have to deduct some points for that. Reluctant no dice.

I don't disagree, old tires can also tell you a lot about the condition of the suspension and alignment.

That is what I thought it was when I saw the pic, if you are going to extend the cab out to the back and make a truck into an SUV (looks like a lot of work done for this customization) why not color match the extension so it looks like an SUV and not a pickup with a camper shell.

Had no idea these existed, but I think the concept would have worked better if they color matched the cab extension so that it didn’t look like one those cheap bed topper that were so popular in the 80s and 90s.  When I saw the first picture I thought that is what it was.

I don't know, the use of the BAT pictures is certainly janky, but judging by the general state of CL car ads, taking a few full car pics in good light for a vehicle somebody is trying to sell is either a skill set people don't have, or way too much work, so pirating the pics is a possibility.  Not saying it couldn't…

While I would do a little better, my take on tires is that they all have to pass DOT standards and also run the risk a major lawsuits or liability if inherent manufacturer defects or unsafe.  I assume the seller saw the the current tires on the truck (or SUV or whatever it is) were way past aged out, and wanted to put…

Third time is a charm "Nankang"

Yes, put a modern drivetrain under the hood, keep any exterior changes on the very mild side, and drive around in style and comfort.

If I was going to do a resto-mod on the Studebaker I would start with an ahead of its time ‘55

My mother bought one of these new in the early 2000s and it served her well. Main problem was a front end clunk that it seemed like they all develop at some point.
