One night in 2002 I was drunk sitting at the computer. I made the mistake of looking at Ebay and something caught my eye. 1989 Taurus SHO with a starting bid of $750 — it said "125k miles: transmission rebuilt last year." The car ran and drove and it even had a video. I figured if the guy was that serious that he…
To all those who sort of don't get it, or think that because it's a pushrod V-6 originally designed in the late 50s that it's junk, or think that because it's a GM product from the 80s that isn't a B-body, Corvette, or full-size truck that it's junk, let me end this run-on sentence and use an analogy you may…
I had an 88 with the Iron Duke. I bought it from the goodwill for $450 in 2002. It had an intermittently clogged catalytic converter and some electrical gremlins (including a wonky ground from the radiator fans that made it occasionally overheat) as well as a thoroughly rusted exhaust system.I used it to deliver…
Early 90s Geo Metro convertible. It's a truly terrible car, despite what the Metrophiles may tell you.
A friend of mine had two Aerostar vans, and another had one. There were many, many escapades in them. One was a blue '88 and the other two were the same color green as this one — one of them was even the XLT with the privacy glass and gray rocker panels. One time, a friend pissed out of the side door while we were…
Almost black color with malt flavor? Sign me up.
I don't know why but the 86 x style really catches my eye. I like it. I'm going to GIS for more pictures while my wife laughs at me for being a dork about cars.
The first "Donk" I saw was about 12 years ago — It was an early 70s Caprice or Impala convertible painted Carolina blue with Tar Heel logos on the back quarter panels and a huge 23" on each door. Having seen a few super-fan cars (I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and there were at least 3 old cars painted gold and…
This is the only Ferrari of that vintage that I've ever seen in person: 1963 250 Testa Rossa. It was at Food Lion Auto Fair a few years ago. Interesting that I saw it driving down highway 49 in University City area of Charlotte the day before Auto Fair started. I can't imagine driving that beautiful machine around…

I've never had an IPA that I liked. Of course, I like a bittersweet malty beer. New Belgium makes a few that I really like — Fat Tire is good but 1554 is absolutely delicious.
While Warren Zevon was a prolific songwriter, it's a shame that his legacy for most will be his piano line from Werewolves of London sampled over and over by Kid Rock.
"Stock, man, it's the 351 Cleveland 400 horse. It'll run 0-60 in about 4 seconds and 1/4 mile in about 12. I put a bigger carb on it so it's probably closer to 450 horse. With dual exhaust it'll be up over 500 easy."
If it was properly reinforced and had a better-looking top I would say NP at $5000. The ugly chrome (especially the side mirrors) can be easily removed and the wheels can be easily sold to be replaced with Watanabes or Panasports. The lines of a little 2-door sedan usually lend to a decent look as a convertible but…
It was spring of 1986 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Mom and dad got a nice insurance settlement when the tires on the Bronco (a 78 XLT Ranger, no less- 2-tone red and black with cloth seats and plush carpet) broke loose and sent mom down an embankment. They fought quite a bit over that. Mom had been on his shit to…
I'm glad you mention the Sterling. Only a British automaker could make an Acura Legend a bad car.
