V.I.S.I.T.– Two Winnemucca Pontiac Bonnevilles

comments
Just before I bought my Phaeton, I decided to take a final road trip with my 2004 Acura TSX. Truth be told, I miss the little guy. It was easy to park, had a perfect six-speed manual transmission, and was easy to park. For its last hurrah, I took it on Highway 50 in Nevada,…

V.I.S.I.T. – 1965 Ford Galaxie

That’s a tree trunk, not a creepy dude behind the wheel. A few months ago, this car showed up on the street just around the corner from my house. It hasn’t moved much, but I can tell it’s driven from time to time. I’d like to meet the owner one of these days and talk…

V.I.S.I.T. – Audi 90 Quattro

While our best scientists try to figure out where these all went (some theorize Estonia), let’s all try to remember what these were all about. The B4 Audi 80 came out in 1991 and was essentially a heavy facelift of the previous generation model. While this model was called the 80 in Europe, insecure and…

V.I.S.I.T. – Imported From Kenosha

When you think Wisconsin, you think Renault, right? Okay, so it’s hard to come to terms with the fact that Wisconsin produced more French cars during the decade of the 1980s than any other place in the western hemisphere. You know, to feed the voracious appetite of the upper midwest for compact French machinery during…

Last week I have asked you, my dear hoons, to send in the interesting, Hoon-worthy, cars you see in traffic. Hoons, you have delivered! Click the jump to see the eighteen cars that Hoons everywhere have spotted. They vary in makes, age, and countries of origin, but they are all special to us, because only…

V.I.S.I.T – 1929 Advance-Rumely Oilpull

How’s this for different? Living near Seattle, it’s not every day that a farm tractor passes me on I-5, yet that’s exactly what happened to me this past Sunday. I had never seen anything quite like this tractor, either. Fortunately, my lovely wife was riding shotgun and sighed “Yes, I’ll take some pictures for your blog.”…

V.I.S.I.T. – 1987 Peugeot 505 Liberté

comments
Remember the Liberté edition of the Peugeot 505? That’s okay, most 505 owners don’t either. The Liberté was a one year only trim level for 1987, to commemorate the centenary of France gifting the Statue of Liberty to America. The Liberté edition of the 505 might sound cool and mysterious, but this was in essence…

My weekend in The Netherlands is over and I have now returned to the wintery North behind The Wall. What, this isn’t the Game of Thrones reality? Never mind, but brace yourselves: the Amsterdam street sightings are coming. This was the first car I came in contact with: a fully electric Renault Fluence Z.E. taxicab.…

Remember the various cars of Poland I wrote about in the past? Well, no one in particular actually went around with a camera in hand and started snapping pictures. All of the pictures were submitted by the readers of zlomnik.pl and then put together by the website dudeperson. And I think we should do the…

V.I.S.I.T. – Renault Dauphine

comments
Now here’s a Renault that wasn’t made in Kenosha, and one that some believe to be more attractive than the ones made there. This of course is the Renault Dauphine, which was made from 1956 till 1967. Before its debut in 1955 this project was known internally as the 5CV, and was intended to be…
