You’ve seen the Subaru BRZs, Mazda RX-7s, BMWs, and many others with Corvette engines. Now see a Corvette with a Honda engine. It’s difficult to say if this is real or not, but it is hilarious. Of all the cars that ever got a small black Chevy swap, here is one that came with a…

The Boston (New England) Auto Show occurred more than a week ago. My idea was to have a quick report right from the show; almost live and almost up to the minute. And then my computer crashed. And then I ended up in an emergency room. Now, more than a week later, after finally getting…

Weekend Edition – Furys, Polaras and Newports… Oh My; On to the Polaras…
/
This is the (abbreviated) weekend where I look at eBay listings with the search terms Fury, Polara, or Newport, and then highlight some of the odd stuff that comes up.
