When searching for a manual hatchback I had a lot of difficulty. I ended up going with a Ford Focus ST. Peppy little thing, I absolutely love it.

Ah the 8 series, another stunner...that might possible be even more expensive to maintain than the 928. Too bad most of them are automatics, but I guess with these cars they were made to cruise the autobahn, not the nordschliefe.

Along that same front, I was checking out Hemmings (as I tend to do most weekend mornings ha) and ran into another great coupe, the 560 SEC. I remember these pretty vividly from when my family used to live in Austria, I even had a larger Matchbox of this one. I just love how stretched out it is, it's like a German Cadillac. And that lack of B-pillar, yowsa.

Love the 560SEC, esp the AMG touched ones.

I'd kill for one of these....

Not a bad price for a 300 HP V12, german GT car with 120,000 kms. One of the last of the coke-head cars. These were about $130,000 CDN new. Heaven forbid you have to replace a dome light bulb though, you'd probably have to write the car off.
I think i found my winter beater. Who says you can't have two toys and no practical cars?

Lol. Do it! And if you don't. 10'of us should all pool 640 a piece and make it the CP Hookers and Blow mobile.

I will happily admit that Pontiac Fieros and 8-Series BMWs both feature on my list of "cool cars". I especially have a soft spot for the Fiero. One guy in my hometown had one with a 32V NorthStar V8 out of a Cadillac shoehorned in.

Fieros are awesome (at least in theory). Fieros turned into Ferraris and Lambos are not.

Another Kijiji treasure....

1985 MR2, naturally aspirated. I believe it will be a 1.6L because it has the spoiler. If race city was still around, I'd by this thing, strip the interior, roll cage it, put some sort of forced induction motor in it, and have a great track car. $600 and your rollin away. Think about that, a great little sports car, for basically the price of a PS4 an extra controller, and a game:

That is the last car on earth I pictured you driving. Well done.

Although I wish you would've gone full on crazy and got the Hellcat.

I think we`re in a second golden age of muscle cars. The Challenger keeps getting better and better, the new Mustang and 2016 Camaro just unveiled are very well done. I can`t wait to play with the Camaro build and price!
