You need to look past these minor hindrances. Today we present another opportunity for you to own two cars as part of…

    Okay, I’m no big fan of Sport Utes. I don’t particularly like them in any variety, even though I do have an unexplainable desire for a Volvo XC90.

    Two ’62s, in fact. It’s the classic “make one out of two” scheme: the 150hp turbo car has a lousy interior, and the brown one with the pretty blue interior has a shot motor. All you need to do is swap the motor to the brown one. Of course…the orangred is a much better color…

    You know what’s wrong with all of your vehicle choices for post-apocalyptic future? They all need specific fuel. Sure, there will be military reserve depots to raid or maybe you could set up a biodiesel or ethanol setup, but these all leave you tied to a specific location. It’s only a matter of time before…

    It has been noted that some writers at other car blogs out there have a minor obsession with Transformers. We had chalked this up to a minor mental illness that was probably treatable with medication (or a hammer). But it turns out they’re not alone in this affliction.
