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.

Upon its introduction, some called AMC's uniquely styled Pacer the Flying Fishbowl. Today's wagon edition is a bigger bowl, but is there something fishy about its price? The E30 Touring was the most commodious of all the small BMWs of that era, although apparently not sufficiently so as yesterday's rare...

The Nissan Silvia was not named after poet Sylvia Plath, and owning one shouldn't be as tortured an experience as was her short life. The U.S. version of the Silvia — the 200SX, as represented by today's custom convertible, may be ode-worthy, but is this one's price too much to...

In Get Smart, secret agent Maxwell Smart fought KAOS and had the hots for his fellow agent, the luscious 99. Today's Saab 99 is also lust-worthy, but has its price missed it, by that much? Saab isn't doing so well these days, having been back-watered by GM for years, and...

The is neither fast or sporty. But how can you not have a blast driving a convertible this cute? Disclaimer: Chrysler and Fiat wanted us to drive the Fiat 500 C so badly that we had to email them the day before the drive to get a spot because they...

The Turing Test is a natural language test to determine how human-like an artificial intelligence may be. Similarly, today's BMW E30 Touring will test your ability to determine whether its price is too high or not. We've been up to our wattles in wagons - and Nice Price wins -...

The prospect of spending you next vacation skinny dipping with Christie Brinkley may make you want to be Clark Griswold. And while you can't have his Wagon Queen Family Truckster, today's Country Squire may the next best thing, but is its price a trip not worth taking? Having a car...
