The new trend for “vintage” cars is rides from the 80s and 90s. I say vintage in quotes because I don’t want to believe that I’m old yet. Now, you may think the best way to Radwood is a 993 Porsche—or maybe even the iconic Lamborghini Countach—but a real connoisseur brings a Geo Prizm.

A reader sent me a tip on . Whoever made the listing clearly knows what they have, with an exterior that is listed as “rusty” and an interior of “who cares.” They also note that “tetanus shots are required” before a test drive.

What amazes me is that not only is this Prizm with over a quarter of a million miles still around but the fact that the dealer decided to actually list it for sale and not just toss it to the auction. That being said, $1,000 may still be a bit steep for this survivor.

In case you are unsure about the ownership experience on a Geo Prizm, the dealer did include some impressive testimonials. One person even declared it “the best car ever.”

Back in the day, the Geo Prizm was probably not a car you actively sought but somehow just acquired. But now, you have a chance to see this car through a different lens.

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: GM Heritage Collection Supercharged Aztek SEMA Car For $24,900?
The buyers of the are already a-wheelin' and a-dealin' their purchases, and that means that you've got a chance to own what may be the rarest factory Aztek ever! Considering the absurd prices that folks pay for factory concept cars, $24,900 for one isn't all that much… but, of course,...

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $48,500 Chevrolet Cheyenne Pickup?
We now know that 77% of you don't like that price tag, but how about a genuine, no-doubt-about-it GM classic truck… at nearly twice the price? Back in '72, the Cheyenne option package on Chevy's half-ton pickups got you a nice plush bench seat in La-Z-Boy-grade vinyl, extra trim, sound...

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $69,900 Volvo P1800S?
Would you believe a 95% Crack Pipe rating yesterday? That's what the scored in the poll, which seems like a pretty decisive verdict. Today we're going to Göteborg! Actually, we're going to the Czech Republic, which is where lives. It's a restomodded machine, the product of "2,374 work hours," and...

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: $57,500 For A 20,000-Mile 1987 AMG Hammer?
OK, so 78% of our readers believe the is overpriced at $69,900. We can see that, but we're going to present you with a much tougher call today: a gen-yoo-wine, low-mile Hammer! Nowadays, a 3,700-pound sedan with a 375-horsepower V8 under the hood is pretty respectable, but back in 1987...

Yesterday, we found out why you shouldn't take the on your honeymoon. Today, we explore the rest of the car, for richer and poorer. The boldest step the TSX takes, in any direction, is in the "plenum grille" styling. Unfortunately, it's a step in the wrong direction. In profile it's...
