1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60/BJ60

by Groosh | posted in: Online Around the Net | 0

This guy claims 32 MPG highway and 24 MPG around town with the turbo diesel conversion.  That’s really great gas mileage for a big rig that weighs in at 4,246 pounds.  28 years later, new Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds are only … Continued

Oh wait, I like this one better than the one I just posted below.  Love the color, the original straight six motor and the Toyota telescoping side mirrors.  Even though this motor is the 1F vs. the 2F which came … Continued

1987 Porsche 928 S4

by Groosh | posted in: Online Around the Net | 1

Funny but I look at the S4 and think how modern it seems vs. my ’86 944 Turbo.  It has my ’86 by one year of freshness yet this old girl’s lineage traces back to 1978.  Shouldn’t my 944 Turbo … Continued

The other day I got to thinking about my “30 for 30 in 30” list I’m building.  What 30 cars I would buy for 30 grand today and still be happy in 30 years with the investment.  The Lotus Elise … Continued

1977 Lotus Esprit Highly Modified

by Groosh | posted in: Online Around the Net | 0

The profile got me.  It looks like vintage racing standing still.  The mag wheels are the right size and color so the 70s Lotus custom doesn’t try to be modern day.  The interior is terrific.  The headliner piping, nice.  After … Continued

This post really isn’t about the 2004 Kia Sorento I found on eBay.  If it was, you might think I lost my pop rocks.  It’s actually about a news clip I read yesterday evening.  Kia Motors America sold 39,291 units … Continued

It was a few years ago that I had my first experience in the Audi R8.  On the test drive, I had one ear getting bent by my colleague telling me to stop short shifting and get on it, while … Continued

This was just forwarded to me. I haven’t watched the movie yet but thought I’d pass on the trailer since it peaked my interest.

Never mind buying the truck, when are you going to put some chairs in that garage so I can start drinking while looking at it. On eBay in Lima, Peru with a lot of detail but a zero feedback seller… … Continued
