/
We all know the 1970’s offered lackluster cars, chocking emission regulations, and bumpers that rivaled guard rails in their size. It was also a time in which there were quite a number of Import Coupes catching on, and I discovered this little piece from the guys over at Car Lust.

The images are featured in a spread called StArt Wars, in which photographer Cédric Delsaux, with the help of 3-D artist Pierrick Gueneugue, melded photography taken in the United Arab Émirats, with Star Wars characters.…

Baja Ghia, I Must Have You
/
The who-we-want-to-be-when-we-grow-up Mike Bumbeck of Clunkbucket rolled by Bug-in #35 at California Speedway and captured quite a few VW’s that have grown well beyond their minimalist intended use.

America, you don’t know what you want… “I want to get great fuel economy, so I think I should buy a hybrid”, says your mother. “I want a car that is fun to drive, so I have to have a sports car”, says your father. Since this is the Hooniverse, we want something that most…

Streetwalker- Mr. Bond, Your Benz is Ready
/
Once again the curb-side car lot is rife with three pointed stars. Normally, I wouldn’t give a ’91 500SL much of a glance, unless there was something special about it, and that’s the case with this Benz with a gun-shy seller.
