On The Go Outtake: The Last Previa Taxi? – So This Is Better Than Uber?
I’ve been posting shots of Eugene’s Previa taxis for way too long. And the last couple of times, I assumed they were the last one, as these are now between 20 and 25 years old (1991-1997). But there’s...

After almost ten years, I’m getting mighty blase about CCs I see go by the other way. But when I caught a glimpse of this orange long wheelbase Rabbit (Golf Mk1), I made a maneuver I hadn’t done in...

CC Outtake: 1993 VW Fox – Endangered Species
Eugene was once a safe haven for Foxes; no longer. They’ve been thoroughly exterminated except for a few cowering in the bushes. But here’s one that came out in broad daylight. It’s a bit worse for...

Cohort Outtake: Down At Stan’s
I couldn’t pass this shot posted at the Cohort by Simon White. You don’t see short wheelbase Dodge vans so much anymore, and the same applies to barber shops like Stan’s. A worthy pairing.

CC Outtake: Geo Metro Minimalist – The Ultimate Stripper
We’ve got quite a thing for strippers here at CC, so needless to say, this one stopped my dead in my tracks. When’s the last time you saw a Geo Metro Minimalist? I thought so. But if there’s one to be...

shoveling a load of “black gold” (well-aged manure) in 2008 (first posted 9/8/2017) I bought my ’66 F100 in the summer of 1987 for one main purpose: to haul stuff. Back then, it was mostly well-aged...

Curbside Classic: 1961 Studebaker Lark VI – The Family Stud For 37 Years
I’ve brought over most of my CCs from the old site, but for some reason, I held off on the one on this fine Flamingo-pink ’61 Lark. Why? Mostly because I did a much more comprehensive history of the...
