COAL: 1988 Ford Taurus Station Wagon – An Attempt At A Beater
Posted on March 16, 2014 | 37 CommentsWhile our 1996 Ford Mustang GT was quite a fun car to own, and was totally trouble free, we were forced to part with it as a consequence of our […] -

Posted on March 12, 2014 | 25 CommentsThe scrapyards here in Western Canada are currently under a blanket of snow (or have turned into mud pits, if unseasonably warm) but I thought I would share a tour […] -
CC Outtake: Unexpected Engine Swaps

COAL: Another Pony Car – 1996 Ford Mustang GT
Posted on March 9, 2014 | 22 CommentsIf you are going to suffer high fuel and repair bills, you may as well own something interesting. After buying an almost new Honda Civic for its fuel economy and […] -
COAL: We Managed To Buy The One Unreliable Honda Civic
Posted on March 2, 2014 | 79 CommentsAfter we sold the reasonably unreliable Bronco II, we drove my classic Z28 for a few months. This included moving all our belongings between cities (minus a couch) in said […] -
COAL: 1988 Ford Bronco II – The Busting Bronco
Posted on February 23, 2014 | 25 CommentsThe first big purchase as a couple can be a bit of a gamble. Differing expectations, desires and budgets are all potential conflict points. Best of luck if you are […] -
COAL: 1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 – My Second First Car
Posted on February 16, 2014 | 27 CommentsI always say that I had two first cars. It doesn’t make sense logically, but I’ll defend that statement by saying that a): my first vehicle was a van not […] -
CC Outtake: Nissan Stagea re-visited – Skyline front clip version
Posted on February 15, 2014 | 13 CommentsWe saw a Nissan Stagea station wagon the other day and while it shares the same basic architecture with the famous Nissan Skyline the styling is quite different. Perhaps someone […] -
Best International Collection in the World? – Kirkham International Motor Collection
Posted on February 4, 2014 | 39 CommentsI had the honor of being able to visit the Kirkham International Motor Collection a while back and figured Big Rig Week was the perfect time to share some of […] -
CC Outtake: Eagle Premier – A Roadworthy Example
Posted on January 8, 2014 | 51 CommentsTo accompany yesterday’s piece about the junkyard dweller, I thought we could show this more basic but still roadworthy Premier. -
CC Outtake: 1970 Snow Cruiser RK32
Posted on December 31, 2013 | 40 CommentsWe have had a decent number of snow related posts of late. So how about a genuine snowmobile? I spotted this 1969-1971 Snow Cruiser RK32 outside a local scrapyard. Perhaps […] -
Junkyard Classic: 1989 Suzuki Swift GT
Posted on December 11, 2013 | 58 CommentsTo a non-enthusiast this little Suzuki in the junkyard is no great loss. Just another little tin box disposed of after its useful life has come to an end. But […] -
CC Capsule: Geo Metro – Ready to Race?
Posted on December 9, 2013 | 30 CommentsWhen you drive a beater it pays to have a sense of humor about it. Being the last owner of a vehicle certainly opens up more personalization options than for […] -
Junkyard Classics: The Volvo Alternator Hunt
