Remember when car companies would show you an outlandish car with outrageous styling, fantastic technologies, and almost zero production potential, and they called them “concepts?” The word “concept” used to be enough. It told you not to expect to see in a show room what you were seeing on the show floor, but that the…
Here we have a brand new 2016 Mazda MX-5 “Launch Edition,” one example of the just 1,000 copies made for the first year of the most hotly anticipated car of the last ten years. Can you guess why it isn’t sold?
Late night Craigslist crawling led me to search the terms “ran when parked.” Then I found this 1951 tandem axle GMC which was honest-to-god running fine immediately before three trees grew up through its frame. What can you find in your area?
Here we have a rare 1980 Toyota Cressida “Woody” Wagon, located in North Bend, Washington. It is lowered, discretely caged, and carries a 4.0L 32-Valve V8 under its long hearing-aid beige hood.
Looking for Miata vines, I found Nick, in Texas, who is one move ahead of me in the Loud Miata game. I see what looks like a Borla Sport dual exhaust, and Nick is claiming a straight pipe as well. Of those, I lack the straight pipe, but I’ve found a Racing Beat race connecting pipe for $100...

A friend of mine linked me to this oddball Craigslist find: a time capsule 1984 Ford Tempo GLX 5-Speed for the slightly bonkers price of $4,000. Obviously they're counting on the collectibility of this specimen to ask four figures for a 30 year old Tempo with 104,700 miles, especially when the tachometer and…
In my fourth quarter at South Seattle's Aerospace Maintenance Technology school, I just finished giving an ancient motor a makeover, rebuilding everything around the engine except the engine itself, and I learned quite a bit.

It's time to sell your trombone from high school band, and check the prices on the Star Wars figurines your roommate didn't open, because on eBay right now is one twenty-four year-old Nissan 240SX with almost 44,000 miles on the clock. It's all original, and it's clean:
Ever notice lately how the quality of Gizmodo articles have been edging upward? Perhaps you read io9 or Jalopnik?
