HHR SS Panel, but not one you want…
Here we have a Chevy HHR SS Panel, which, in and of itself, is an intriguing vehicle. This one, however, has hydraulics and 20-inch spinners, along with a flame job with burning money. You’ll have to decide whether that is desirable in your world. In stock form, the HHR SS could hit 60mph in about…

Silvia with her Top Off: S15 Varietta Roller
Though the S13 and S14 Nissan Sylvias were popular in the US, where they were known as 240SX, the S15 verision, produced from 1999 to 2002, never made it to the US. Nissan did offer a soft-top convertible version of the S13 for a couple years, with that car converted at ASC in California. Few…

Japanese Fire Truck in the US
This is a Mitsubishi Micro Cab fire truck which found its way to the US. These are imported for farm and industrial use, but are not road legal in the States. Notably, the Micro Cab is a competitor for the VERY oddly names Mazda Scrum! The seller says the driver’s side (right side in this…

RHD, Manual Renault Avantime
The Avantime was a strange MPV sold by Renault, but engineered and manufactured by Matra. It is sometimes known as the vehicle that killed Matra. Continue on to find out more!

Low Mileage Kia Micro Van with a Catch
This Kia Micro Van is a rare site outside (South) Korea. It’s a cool oddity, but there’s one major catch – it might not be possible to certify this for road use in the US. Do you have a farm? If so, this could be the vehicle for you! The seller claims 10.8K kilometers and,…

An Oddimotive-Worthy Crossover?
Why, yes, this is Oddimotive-worthy. Here we have an unusual, manual-transmission-equipped BMW X3 3.0i. Did your family recently expand to the point that you need a little more kiddo and cargo space? If so, this could be a cool daily driver. You’ll even have AWD should you need it. It’s true you can get a…

Scion xB Pickup
Yes indeed, someone chopped a 2006 Scion XB to make a very strange pickup. Also, according to the seller, it has “airbags suspicion to lift while you drive.” So, if you drive this, you will suspect you have air suspension, but you won’t be able to confirm that? Basically, this is a Scion xB with…

Doored is a Verb?
We’ve certainly heard of bagged trucks and other vehicles, but we’ve never heard of “doored.” This is a horribly incomplete project based on an original plan which was questionable at best. If you’re into this sort of thing, this might be a good starting point, as it seems more has been spent than is asked,…

WTF S2K
Briefly, I was surprised that we’ve never featured a Honda S2000; but then I thought about it and there usually nothing odd about them. They’re just great, pure sports cars. This one, however, first had a hideous body kit installed and then was wrecked. A quick interwebs search showed what the body kit looked like…

M Coupes are the Stuff of Legend. This isn’t One.
Most enthusiasts know about the BMW Z3 M Coupe, which is a performance legends known for amazing handling and superb, M3-based engines. What some don’t realize is that there were more pedestrian versions of the Z3 Coupe. Today’s feature is a 3.0i, which means it has 330i performance in a lighter, smaller coupe. This…
