This is , where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the . Today we're heading back to Toronto, a city that's given us all manner of interesting old iron in the past, from the to . has found one of the rarest machines of them all, a Gorbachev-grade '87 GAZ Tchaika 14… and it's for sale! Jump away to learn more.

First, we need to get in the right mood to appreciate this fine automobile. A little music, comrades?

A while back, I was running errands in Toronto's west end. As I approached a stoplight, I swore I saw the distinct profile of a Russian limousine among the crossing traffic. It was long gone by the time I got there. A week later, I saw it again and collected these shots. OK, so I only have 5 photos. I was rushing, my camera battery was dying, but damn, just LOOK at this thing. How thoughtful of the owner to include a little background info via window sticker. Glasnost indeed! Photographed on Parkside Drive in Toronto. Imagine, if you will, the conversations that once took place in the back seat. a link to where the car is for sale. Hopefully you find this interesting

For $5,400, Could This 1975 Moto Guzzi 850-T Mean V Is For Victory?
For $5,400, Could This 1975 Moto Guzzi 850-T Mean V Is For Victory?
The eagle on the Moto Guzzi logo commemorates a founder who died in a plane crash before the company could get off the ground. Today’s 850-T could let you fly, that is, if its price doesn’t ground it. It was no surprise at all that yesterday’s earned a quick and...

For $29,000, Will This 1974 Porsche 914 Bumblebee Start A Buzz?
For $29,000, Will This 1974 Porsche 914 Bumblebee Start A Buzz?
Today’s 914 is the nirvana of the four-cylinder cars: two-litre, five speed, with the gauge pack. It’s also an unrestored, limited edition, with paint that earned it the nickname of Bumblebee. Might that just take away some of the sting of its price? Hey, do you remember 2015? I know...

Every Single Vehicle We Reviewed In 2015
Every Single Vehicle We Reviewed In 2015
This past year it felt like we drove damn near everything. From Subaru rally cars to the Bentley Mulsanne Speed. From a Power Wheels to a McLaren 650S. From an Audi TT, to an Audi TT, to an Audi TT a third time, because sometimes we all disagree and everyone...

What Do You Want To Know About The 2016 Scion iA?
Yes, I’m aware it says “Scion” on the front, and on the key, and on the steering wheel, but the is actually a Mazda 2 sedan. And since it is made by Mazda, it turns out it’s not an inexpensive and dreary Scion at all. It’s damn near cheap and...

For $18,750, This 1965 Shelby Kit Car Could Let You Join The Cobra Club
For $18,750, This 1965 Shelby Kit Car Could Let You Join The Cobra Club
It’s a plain fact that there are more kit car Shelby Cobras in the world than there are the real deals. Today’s homage car may be a pretender to the throne, but will its price have you saying: hey, let’s pretend? Well there we go. Yesterday’s earned itself a solid...

For $6,000, This M50-Equipped 1985 318i Takes A Stance
At what point is it safe to make someone else’s project your own project? Ever? Today’s 318 looks to be a work in progress, but will its price make you want to go back to the start? The teeth gnashing and pearl clutching that accompanied the discussion on yesterday’s proved...
