You had me at “turbo-encapulator”...

If you’re interested, I also have a fleet of early ‘90s Geo Metro drop tops and a bridge in brooklyn to sell ya.

THIS is exactly why grocery delivery is killing it in 2021... Well, that, and convenience, and avoiding crowds amidst a pandemic, and blah blah blah.

Only reason that NP isn’t winning is because the reliable, manual shifting long roof is not brown.  Sure, it might not be capable of burnouts, but who cares?  This is a van-lover’s van for sure.  Totally worth it.

First Toyota teamed up with Subaru to bring us the FR-S/86/BRZ vehicles, and now, they made a clone of the Outback. Flattery is the sincerest form of praise, right? CVT? check. NA 4-cyl? check. AWD? check. As a Toyota fanboi and ‘06 Corolla owner, I would seriously consider buying this thing. However, I won’t even…

2005 Pontiac Vibe GT... GM price and Toyota reliability. The plant was the ever-venerable 2ZZ-GE. 180 horses from 1.8 litres - available with a manual transmission. They sold far more of these than the comparable Matrix XRS which was the 2ZZ version of the Matrix, so they’re common and not hard to find.  Toyota sold…

This vehicle is the gun with which Mazda shoots themselves in the foot.  All they had to do was plop the ol’ high-revvin, oil-drinkin’ rotary “range extender” in the bonnet and call it a day.  So instead of a $500 chargepoint credit, they could have have given the driver five hundred bucks of pennzoil, which should…

Easy - the Buick Encore GX.  If GM made a taller VW Golf - this would be it.  Remember when Buick used to mean larger cushy cars with big V6's that would easily handle whatever you threw at it (although not particularly fast in most instances)?  This is not that Buick of yore.  It’s basically a tiny hatchback with a 3…

I’m not a jeep person, and not normally fond of the American brands myself, but this is a really decent example of such a vehicle that, on its surface, appears to have been very well maintained. I voted NP - and I almost never vote NP at all on any vehicle. Perhaps I was swooned by the wood trim decals running the…

my old ‘94 metro hatchback. 3 cylinders of sheer terror and a 5 speed meant that you were always redlining it to do anything fun... my favorite was putting it into reverse, getting it up to about 20, and then a backwards J-turn into a drift.  Yes, it was possible to drift a stock 3-cyl metro, but you had to be very…

So I’m a big ‘yota fanboi, but the new Z really gets my juices juicier than the lightly re-skinned bimmer. TBH, I recently drove a 2021 Altima with the 2.5 and the Xtronic... despite being a rental fleet filler vehicle, I was gobsmacked by the fact that the CVT didn’t totally suck, and that the large (for a 4-cyl) NA…

If the VR30DDTT is even half as tunable as Gojira’s VR38DETT, you will likely see a large contingency of tuners flocking to the new Zed (or is it Zee).  If Ghosn was still in the picture and this model still somehow remained greenlit, we would have had to live with Xtronic as the only choice for putting the power…

I’d rather have a 2JZ in my car than Jay Z himself riding shotgun.

“GM cranked out 632,742 Cutlasses. Holy crap that’s a lot of cars.” Of which perhaps 7 or 8 were fully and properly assembled.

Since I have the mentality of a sixth grader (despite being in my mid 40s), I’m just waiting for VW to sell the “F” edition of this car. I want the badge on the back to say FARTEON. I’ve heard that this edition only comes with the paint color of Sterculian Brown.

I know that Torch always likes to identify cars by their tail lights... A passion with which him and I share. Today, however, I want to identify the grocery store of choice for the plastic bag provider in one of the pictures. It is Kroger. I have many of these bags stashed in my pantry from the Kroger a couple of…

This is sold as a drag race car only... it is stated in the PR that this is not certified to be street legal. Regardless, I can’t wait for some mouth breather with money “borrow” the plate from his 1997 Hyundai Accent to slap on this monster and take it out for a spin only to realize that he is a closet tree hugger…

honda definitely needs to bring back both the prelude and the integra.

My wife learned how to drive a stick shift well before I did.  In fact, she was the one who taught my oldest son how to do it when he bought an old used focus with a manny tranny.

its a ford... from the malaise area... with an engine that makes less horsepower than a modern corolla. yes, it has a massive gas guzzling v8 with efficiency measured in gallons per mile, and those joyous armstrong windows and a bitchin’ stock 8-track. if we assume that the additional zero in the price was merely a…
