Here is a variation I spotted made from a standard enclosed utility trailer. I think he said he paid $3000 for the trailer (brand new) and did the mods himself. It's just right for a single guy. He pulls it with that Honda there as well. http://youtube.ng/watch?v=tnWS_H85ANk

Teardrop Trailers
Recently, in the top-secret Car Lust underground bunker, garage, test facility, and broken soft drink vending machine storage area, one of our own contributors said that maybe we should write more about "forgotten or bizarre cars." Well, I thought we had been doing that, at least a little, but ...
I kind of like the idea of off brand classics now. I saw a Pontiac Nova the other day and though that would be cooler then the real thing...

Great (?) Moments in Badge Engineering
"Badge engineering" occurs when an automobile manufacturer sells what amounts to the same car under two different brand names. It's not to be confused with "platform sharing," where two or more different cars share some or all of their basic engineering. To illustrate the distinction with an ex...
#1: An end of the run Vanagon. I'm ready for some road tripp'n and these are ubiquitous enough that they can be repaired most anywhere along the road. While the engines are almost considered a consumable, they can be quite durable when maintained properly.

June 11 Weekly Open Thread
Ginger or Mary Ann? Red or black licorice? Bentley or Aston Martin? Kate or Pippa? Neither? Or perhaps both? Life is full of choices and this week it's the fantasy edition of the Weekly Open Thread. A hypothetical question for you to ponder as a little mental exercise on the practical side of C...

I have only been following your blog since I joined the Twitter last year (although I've been a long time fan). The 4th of July post was great! I think it is a great idea to re-post some of your favorites once in a while.

tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I had no idea so many new readers were visiting my blog; I'd just assumed that the Internet had gotten bored with me, moved on to whatever the new hotness is, and I was writing for the few, the proud, the geeky who had been here forever. Knowi...
Wallace Shawn?!? THAT'S INCONCEIVABLE!
