View ArticleCar Show Day #1: Are Canadian Car Shows More Like The Way I Like Them?
Admittedly, I don’t go to car shows much; hardly ever, actually. Partly that’s because right around Eugene they tend to be very stereotypical hot-roddy things. I’d rather go hiking. But...

View ArticleQOTD: What’s Your Lust Object Car of the Day?
I am a fickle lover of cars. If I were rich enough, I’d have a new car every day, which probably explains why I don’t have any old cars except my work truck. And my love for today would be this 1958...

Longtime CC reader Bryce has remembered how to post at the Cohort and uploaded quite a trove of pictures. But this wagon stumps me. It’s presumably a P6 LTD, but I thought they all had round...

This is what really turns my crank, seeing a 51 year old Dodge van still doing the work it was designed to be doing 51 years earlier. Of course, I have a rather special affinity to these Dodge A...

(first posted 3/19/2011) It’s no secret I’m a big fan of big old buses. The challenge is what direction to take with them. Given today’s weather, that would be South. You see; it’s already...

Third generation Corollas have become a bit scarce, but since they are Corollas, there will undoubtedly always be a few around, forever. Could life in Eugene exist without them? It’s questionable. And...
