The “Cars for Sale” section of the 24 Hours of Lemons Forum is like having hundreds of crazy car nuts sifting thru and posting the worst of Craigslist every day, which is where I found this: http://muskegon.craigslist.org/cto/4164718647.html Sorry, the seller doesn’t have much to offer in the way of textual details, he lets the pictures […]
Nearly a year and a 1/2 ago I posted this inventory of my garage/projects, Well I’m finally starting to see the end of the tunnel on 2 of them. The Honda MT125 Elsinore is within spitting distance of being “done” and the CB750 cafe racer is nearly a whole bike again. Back in August it […]
A friend found this Ranger, owned by someone who isn’t aware of how small it is last year. I spotted this one cruising the I-210 freeway near Los Angeles. If I had to guess I would say fully 1/4 of his payload is being eaten up by stick on chrome planted gee-gaws from J.C. Whitney […]

Toyota USA?) thought they could move a few more units by slapping “Collector Edition” decals all over it. Once again the Onion is more real […]
Back in June of 2011 I spotted this off-road ready Mercedes Benz Gazelle replica kit car in the parking lot of the junk yard. Well, today I saw it cruising down the street and it appears to have sprouted a full off road spec roll cage since the last time I saw it.
