Article fail because the article completely discounts the existence of the Tracer LTS. Mazda 1.8 DOHC 127 hp high-revving engine (vs. the regular 1.9 CVH with 88 hp), sport suspension, named one of Ten Best for 1991 by Car & Driver. Also came with cool alloys, a sporty red stripe and a wing. My parents had a ‘93…
No, I have a black GTI.
Agreed. Only because 1) my car was used in it and 2) because I haven’t seen 4 through whatever :P.
Roof line says JZX90 with Mark X front end grafted on.
LOL. That stretch of La Cienega from Beverly up to Santa Monica, just a few blocks north of Beverly Hills/Restaurant Row, is awesome with lots of old buildings, shops, restaurants (including Googie Norm’s!), especially north of Melrose. Also, if it were nighttime, there would be exotics parked along both sides with…
And here’s a pretty awesome pic before the thing was demolished:
Yep, I posted about it being torn down on VWVortex when it was happening: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?8253113-Pour-out-a-40-for-Casa-de-Petrol&p=100572809&viewfull=1
There were even exotics and muscle cars.
If you had some pull (government official, celebrity, etc.), you could pretty much get anything back then.
The Russian-language manual and the “MMZh” plate suffix definitely scream USSR government spec, though not necessarily KGB. According to Russian Wiki, these Tatras were delivered to the USSR for “KGB needs, militia (police) use in large cities, and for mid-level bureaucrats who were better than a Volga GAZ-24 but not…
The “СОЮЗ” in this context refers to the Творческое объединение “СОЮЗ,” which translates to a “creative association” of artists, in this case named “Soyuz” or “Union.” It was likely at one time basically a union or guild of film-related professionals, but likely later became a production company/studio of sorts, as…
How’s the weather in Olgino today?
He’s asking much less for the higher-mileage cars. A couple of 90k Figaros are under $5k on his site.
Terrible news. I’ve seen it around the neighborhood a couple of times and even snapped a pic of it for my Instagram. Was pretty impressed when I saw a girl getting out of it (yes, I guess that’s sexist, but I don’t know too many girls who drive mint 2002 roundies on meshies with fogs). In any event, I hope it’s…
Perfect timing. For those interested, this SoCal PBS article titled “Why Hasn’t It Snowed in LA Since 1962?” just came out today: https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/why-hasnt-it-snowed-in-los-angeles-since-1962
I think you have the scam all wrong. No one wants the Passat and no one will ever come to pick it up. The whole point is to get you to wire some sort of real cash back as a result of the purported sale. Stealing a car will often result in getting caught while one of these scams will comfortably net some cash for a…
Came for this, leaving happy.
That is absolutely wrong, considering the Rogue sits on the Renault/Nissan C FWD platform and the EX35 is on the Nissan FM platform (350z, Skyline, G35, etc.). In fact, it’s known as the Nissan Skyline Crossover in JDM-land.
Willys did. Back in 1953.
Yep, that was a steal. I was watching that and couldn’t believe it was going to stay that low. Almost bid on it but I already have an E30 M3.
