It’s Friday and I’m happy! It has been a long week for anyone else. It feels like years for me, since I have spent the entire time packing and working for a move. We all enjoy being moved by motor vehicles. If those vehicles are for sale online, that’s even better. It was nailed the way it was said.
There isn’t a gimmicks this week. There are no limits on the search. I searched every corner of the United States for cars that I could find on the internet. I think I came up with some good picks, but I would like to hear from you if you think you have found something better.
I used to know the Cabrio owner through our weekly car meets. He tried to prove that it didn’t work, but it only had a reverse gear. It was a really nice car.
I like the idea of a convertible that is just right. Good enough to run, but bad enough that you don’t want your friends to get into the back seat. This Cabrio is too nice for that, but who knows what else is hidden under the wrap? You can buy it, pack your friends into it, and then watch as the car dumps all its coolant while you wait in line. That is a reference to a different Cabrio I have known. These things make me happy.
There was a stripped-down, zero-amenity rally car out in Japan, but here it was the race-specRS. The power windows were cut out in order to save weight. There was a time when the automakers were able to get away with things like that.
The seller of this particular car claims it is one of 84 sold in the U.S. One of only 60 with this particular option package and this shade of red and this color convertible roof sold in October of this particular year, the Corvette Guy has levels of inanity.
The Isuzu pickup is either for rent or for sale, and maybe it is a standard sale or maybe it is an auction, but maybe some of the proceeds from its sale or rent or ticket sales will go to charity. The truck is cool enough to make us look past all of that, even though the ad is all rolled into one.
There are two doors, two yellow fog lights, four driven wheels, and a bike up top. When gas prices get high, the bike is supposed to be used as an alternative commute. No matter how much you pay, could you resist those retro side graphics?
The first Toyota to be sold in the US was the Crown. The Crown was abandoned in the US because it was not designed for American roads. Who would have saved one in the 50’s?
This crown is not in great condition, but it is here. It’s original blue paint is covered in Bondo but you can tell what it was. There is an engine in the rear-hinged doors. Few people would have kept a piece of history like this for more than 50 years.
I want to take a motorcycle trip of my own that is even more interesting than Elspeth Beard’s, once I’m more comfortable on my bike. While my own GS is a better bike, with its similar power but lighter weight and fuel injected engine, Elspeth’s stories of roadside repairs instill a fondness for the kind of simplicity that an older air-cooled BMW brings.
I’m going to give you an R80 from 1985 to make you feel better. The rear wheel has a shaft drive and two opposed cylinders. There is a lot to say about simplicity.
As the years go on, car mod fades in and out of style. The tuner scene of the early 2000s was hated by the mid-2010s. The style is inspired by drift and time attack aesthetic.
It hasn’t been left behind by the ever-changing styles of car modification, even though it was built nearly 10 years ago. It’s cleaner than modern builds, with its Rocket Bunny kit blend more smoothly into the original body lines than any big-wing wide-fender time- attack build, but it still has the width and lack of height to pass for modern.
I saw a Honda Odyssey on the road today. BBS meshes are so good that they work on almost anything. They look perfect if you give them a car like this .
The seller of this Bimmer claims it is in daily-driver condition, but needs some work to be better. Don’t put in the work and just drive the 6-series as it was supposed to be driven.
The restomodded Ford pickup is not gaudy. The seller claims that it has a 1950 Ford flathead under the hood and that it runs a more modern engine. The interior is simple and clean with a small tape deck under the glove box.
We see period-correct restorations and modifications all the time and we are used to it. Where are the period-correct restomods? We don’t know when the era of the retro-restomod will start.
Things are simple with the description of this seller. If you know me, that is a good thing. I think it’s great that you still claim that “built by me” is enough of a selling point that you don’t need other things. That kind of confidence is what we need.
We can all use the bike. This may not look like any particular Ténéré with its not-quite-right decals, but who cars when you have the right Chassis underneath your seat?
The Dope Car is not the only one that the Saturn Vue is not in isolation. It is a dead weird innovative brand with a dead weird manual transmission. I don’t know what a Jalop vehicle is.
When it was new, the Vue was more interesting than anyone would have you believe. It isn’t out-there by modern styling standards, but what other small SUVs can you get with a stick?
The VolvoP1800ES is a good looking car. It is firmly of its era but never looks out of place. It’s just that great.
The P1800 seems to be in great condition, with the previous owner having restored the car. The paint is new. There is only one place where you can get this type of style.
When it comes to buying a car, you are a picky person. Everyone can get the output you want. High Output is not as good as you might think. The only car that will do for that requirement is the Taurus SHO.
This SHO seems to come from the same dealer as our Isuzu, with a seemingly randommishmash of sales, rentals, and charity auctions. I wonder if this is for sale. The starting bid is $8,999. It is a figment of our imagination. It’s possible that we never know.
There is a NA Miata for $1,700. You might be more suspicious if you look at the car and see how clean it is. The top seems to be in good shape. What’s happening here?
The engine is blowing. There is an opportunity to replace the paperweight between the fenders with a K-series. It will thank you with a lifetime of canyon runs if you breathe new life into this car.
Honda is the best-selling car of all time. It isn’t the Civic, it isn’t the Accord, and it isn’t the VFR interceptors that come up on the internet every fifteen minutes for an asking price roughly equal to a load of groceries. The Honda Cub is the best selling car in the world.
Mint green is a great contrast to the white plastic. The brown seat makes for a package that is as good to look at as it is to ride. I challenge anyone to park this without looking at me as they leave.
The basics need to be out of the way first. This is a 1966 mustang with Nissan suspension and a four- cylinder engine. It is clear that it is the result of too many hours spent watching Tokyo drift. I really like it.
One of the most interesting cars in the franchise is the mustang in Tokyo drift. This car captures that same energy in a way that wouldn’t work outside of Mad Max. It’s right in the swamps of south Florida. The seller is living my dream and the buyer is also living my dream.

Historically speaking, the basement of F1 teams has had unreliable engines and penny-pinching.

It sounds crazy but it has happened many times.
