The only thing that bothers me about pre-runner trucks is the economics. It's like payday lending places, liquor stores, or car title pawn shops. They're almost always located in predominantly white, rural areas and they sell pointless-yet-expensive status items to the people who can often least afford them. Read more
Yes! Great find! Read more
Sorry — more a knockoff than rebadge job. Read more
If you go by product launch, it's the third. Porsche's 911 Carrera 4 was second, officially. Read more
Sports-car marketing is aspirational, not rational. Most adults in the country can't afford a Corvette, much less people under 30, but to people who do, brand identification matters a lot. And brand identification starts young. Read more
I don't think sales are the issue. It's pop-cultural positioning and aspiration. 'Vettes fell off kids' radar — as "old men's cars" — years ago, supplanted by Japanese and German sports cars and sedans. Get a kid (at least one who cares at all about cars) to pick a Corvette over a GT-R in their fantasy garage, and… Read more
I think '77 was the last year for the column-shifted Saginaw 3-speed. (I think the newest car I've seen with it was a '77 Nova.) It used to jam all the time. A friend who worked at a transmission shop helped me put in a Hurst floor shifter. I think he had to machine a custom coupling for it, and I ended up paying him… Read more
Ok, not QUITE that old, but I did work at a Chevy dealership in the mid-80s and drove lots and lots of Citations. Also, my first car was a '73 Buick Century with three on the tree. Seriously. Read more

I know it's disconcerting to see the same article after clicking, but if you look to the right margin, you'll see every story we've ever written about the Basement Lambo. The link you've clicked on is the "basement lambo" tag. Read more

No problem! If we've learned one thing this year, it's that proper driving thrills can be had in any price range. Read more
Worst car I've driven this year material. Yes. Read more
What year? I had an '83 notchback. Everything under the rear window melted, including the headrests. It was slow, but I loved that car. Read more
It'll outsell the Sonic here too. This is no reflection on the Veloster Turbo as a desirable car for most buyers. But judged on driving dynamics alone, the Sonic LTZ for me has an edge. Read more
I'm not Consumer Reports — it's personal preference. Sure, if I were going to bum around Manhattan beach for the winter, eating fish tacos at Wahoo's, the Veloster Turbo would be a ideal choice. But we're talking about how it drives, and frankly, it's sub-par in a category with some real winners. Read more
