Hello, My Sweet Prince
Hello, My Sweet Prince-January 2024

The languid and hazy days of summer are upon us, dulling the senses and enveloping the mind in a sense of laziness. The desire for open top driving is strong and my prince, a 1993 , is here.

Long ago I decided no car would even be to me what my prince is, a brash and uncouth V10 with some wheels and a steering wheel attached to it. I yearn not for the so-called refinement of the supposed European automotive oligarchy. I reject it wholly.

Alas, the great tragedy of my life is that my prince and I cannot be together. Not for now at least, because my prince demands a high fiscal tribute, funds that I cannot so easily procure unless I am willing to go hungry for a year. Which—negotiable.

But you. You, dear reader, could be in a different situation than me. We are all born, but from that point on, we all embark on different paths. Yours could very well lead you toward a sweet prince of your own, such as this one on .

Having been only rarely traveled, this prince has 18,600 miles showing on its clock. It is at the peak of its youth. And even when that youth fades, the Viper will still shine.

Go forth into the sunset, lucky reader. Ride in the viciously red chariot of snarling madness, the shifter in your hand. Ride into glory. For bidding is now open.

At $6,900, Would You Make A Pass At This 2000 VW Passat 4Motion Wagon?
Today’s Passat 4Motion has done less than 2,000 miles a year over the course of its life. Let’s see if that makes it worth digging into your life’s savings to buy it. If you think about Lincoln these days, you probably picture one of its surprisingly competent SUVs or...

2021 Genesis GV80: First Drive
Genesis may have arrived late to the SUV party, but at least it can pull off fashionably late. This beautiful vehicle is in the real world now, after a slight delay due to COVID-19, and it is in a good position to plug a hole in the Genesis lineup...

Someone Help Me Figure Out What The Hell Is Going On With This Swiss Camaro
When it comes to things I think of as “,” I’d have to say Chevy Camaros are pretty down low on the list, between nachos and Kabuki theater. That may be why o fascinating: first, it’s in Switzerland, and B., it’s so very strangely customized that I’m genuinely baffled....

At $3,800, Could This 1994 Lincoln Continental Be A True Executive Perk?
Today’s Continental represents one of the last gasps of traditional American automotive luxury. That may make it an oddity today, but with a solid presentation and that old school kitsch, perhaps its asking price will overcome the odds of being too old-school for 2020 shoppers. Before we take a...
