While Jeff and Mad_Science were swilling expensive champagne and drooling over beautiful french ladies, the Schmo’s were wandering around a dusty museum warehouse full of awesome old cars. I was originally going to run this as part 2 of my museum tour but excitement got the better of me.

Craigslister Fail – Don't Bother With the Pictures, Doofus.
/
Is there some Craiglist keyword spam tool that I don’t know about? If not, it’s obvious why this goober neglected to mention the most important piece of information regarding his car – the make and model – because it must have taken him a week to compile the spam list. Based on the 393, I’m…

Are you smarter than a fifth-grader: KSL Classifieds Edition
/

Found on Craigslist- The $20K Lotus Elise?
/
So, do you think that he’s really willing to take $20,000 for it, or that he was trying to say it has 20,000 miles on it? I can say that, a 20K Elise for $20K sounds like a screaming good deal as long as it’s not full of ebola-laced amphibian poo. San Diego Craigslist.

Hemipanter Might Give the Basement Lambo a Run for its Money
/
When we first stumbled across the Hemipanter via Spinelli’s Save the Enzos, we thought “sweet, a hemi-powered Pantera”. How mistaken we were. First off, that Hemi’s been bumped out to (this is not a typo) 526c.i.. Secondly…crap. Every time I go to look over this guy’s website, I get sucked in for another five minutes…

Streetwalking: Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro
/
If you started telling most car guys about the tech specs on these little vans, they’d start salivating — provided, of course, you didn’t tell them what vehicle the specs belonged to. For obvious reasons, these little trucks don’t have the best reputation. But let’s take a closer look.

Showdown – Heavy Hitters Edition
/
Our last showdown pitted two traditionally overrated 4x4s against one another. As of right now, the Scout Travelall’s beating out the early Bronco by 6%. Being 1/3 the price will do that for ya. We’re keeping it 4×4 for right now, if only because we just couldn’t pass these up. You better pray to Petrolius,…
