I remember seeing a decent number of kit cars out and about in the 70's. There is a guy near me that has a Bradly GT that I see every now and again in the Spring/Summer. There are also a couple of Cobra kit cars that are kicking around. Other than those, I rarely ever see any kit cars actually functional anymore. 

“FIFTEEN GRAND FOR A NEARLY 20 YEAR OLD SUV”

I own a third gen 4Runner like this and secretly celebrate how values have been ballooning up the last 5 years or so. But $9k-10k will get you a REALLY nice, stick-shift, rear-diff-lock equipped original 3.4L gas engine truck that won’t have the reliability issues of a…

Solution: don’t crash! Folks worry too much.

Fake Strakes say instant CP. $14,999 seconds the motion and 128 HP?? The base Jetta would blow its doors off. Go away marshmallow car.  The big hole in the center of the steering wheel is a great place for the owner to store what little self respect they have left.

Given people’s insanity the last few years on inflating “normal” car prices, this may well be in step with the goofiness. I’d rather have a ND Miata at this price, but they don’t make the S2000 anymore, so that’s just an argumentative choice.

There’s a place in Arvada, CO that takes a GM or Ford and just swaps the body panels so you can have a ute. They’re a badass shop.

My friend works as an illustrator for a hot rod shop and he’s built his own hot rod out of an early 80's Olds Cutlass wagon. He’s a talented guy. He autocrosses this very car when he’s not drawing cool pictures of it.

I can give two semi-reasonable explanations.

Not to be pedantic, but you don't need a "the" in front of hoi polloi. The phrase itself means "the people".

It is a pretty good candidate for an electric conversion.

Really wanna save some gas?

No way. A good idea is if you want to do this is you take your $3850 and go out and buy a Volvo wagon. Even the most anemic 240 came with more HP than this turd, and you can fit a proper 6’ body in the back, none of this “five and three quarters” nonsense. For $3850 you can have your pick of very nice RWD wagons, or a…

What ever happened to Jimmy in portfolio management?

How about a Subaru Baja Turbo

As a former Hawai’i resident, I wanna say with all the authority I can muster skip the convertible, especially if you are from Ohio. You’ll burn to a crisp in about 2 mins. The only people who drive convertibles are tourists on day 1 and most of them look like they have sun stroke. Taco is the way to go or a minivan…

guys, this is a great example of what a classic car should be like. a few tasteful mods and a whole lot of still factory goodness. lets begin, shall we? granted it is a year before the era of the G-bodies; meaning it has rear steering; no, not that kind, these had the steering components behind the hub, rather than…

Step one: Ford Transit Connect

I mean....it’s CP, clearly. But you’re not entirely wrong. A nice low-mile clean example of a regular Roadmaster wagon is surprisingly not cheap right about now. You’re in the ten grand range, give or take. Now add that this is a well-done custom with good provenance, and it’s not just some weird junker... it actually…

So, nowhere in your article does it explain how these flights are cheaper. The headline says they are cheaper. Are they? I wouldn't think they would be.... Lots of missing info here. 

Why do you need a good memory to recall something that was very well publicised at the time? It wasn’t some obscure thing that few people were aware of. Anyone old enough should have no trouble recognising the original iMac design for what it is.
