Starlet from hell (no, it’s not Lindsay Lohan)
Thanks to Dan for this reader submission! We love this ad for a number of reasons: The car itself is awesomely strange, The owner lives in a tent next to it, The car is parked under a useless structure, Other cars in the images display a wide variety of tastes, and The tent dweller apparently…

Mid-engine 90s van, but perhaps not supercharged.
Here we have everyone’s favorite mid-engine minivan from the 90s, the Toyota Previa. Normally, we’d ignore this 2WD, automatic, non-supercharged version, as each of the opposite traits ads interest, even if all can’t be combined. This one’s just too bad not to list, however, given its hideous body kit, poor infotainment choices and tasteless interior.…

Homebrew I-Mark turbo diesel
We’ve featured an I-Mark diesel before, but this one has some sort of turbo added on. This might sounds interesting, but the seller provides no useful information about the modifications, nor any useful pictures. Quick research revealed the seller’s Cardomain page. There we found a picture of a scary turbo setup hanging below the car.…

Stereo worth more than car?
There’s not a good angle on this one, yet I feel a (slight) urge to help it. Click for Craigslist ad $1,200 (yeah…right) Ahaheim, CA Did a bear bite the bumper corner off? Excellent bondo work here with ‘new’ rust poking through. Pink leopard. Yeah… Maybe the bear got trapped back here? Note the ‘custom…

Humpty Dumpty Sprint Turbo
This isn’t our first Sprint Turbo and it won’t be our last. Here we have a cheap example at $750, but the owner has partially disassembled things under the hood. Will you put the poor thing back together? The seller claims all parts are there – bagged and labeled – but we always wonder why…

Quickie: BLACK GOLD (Wal Mart special?)

Clapped up MX-6
We really like the MX-6 GT. Unfortunately, this was both modified and neglected (not necessarily at the same time). This was, of course, the mechanical twin to the Ford Probe Turbo, but the more conservative Mazda two-door coupe body style has aged better. 4WS was available in certain years, but this one doesn’t seem…
