Bunta’s revenge
Q: What’s blue and gold and it doesn’t even matter if it’s not authentic and just an homage car and there is such a thin tolerance for making it look right but when you do, with only a few cosmetic modifications, it makes me have faith in car culture so much I miss an important call about my daughter’s baptism?
(real talk: Bunta Fujiwara is #1 dad)
my favorite foods are lobster and Skittles
Remember when McLaren did a version of the Lincoln LS? It had slightly darker wheels, and quad exhaust tips. The company simultaneously held a roadcar top speed record (decidedly not Lincoln LS-related), while being a ghost in the public imagination. No one really cared, and that actually made it kind of cool. Enter the Merc/Laren, with its front-quarter-panel-exit exhaust. And room for golf clubs. Somehow this factoid wasn’t quite as cool as the side-storage-story on the F1, even though it kinda ought to be. Maybe it’s that I still recall the SL prototype it was based on, and found the ‘futuristic design’ already dated when launched. After a slump, the collector market is starting to pick on this weird beast, but it will always strike me as somehow less than the sum of its parts.

Sharkonado
Remember how those art-cars from the Leo DiCaprio adaptation of Romeo & Juliet made you feel? This gen of Toronado has that same retro-futurist-as-felt-in-1988 vibe, except in more of a ‘balding robot uncle’ kind of way.
I’M DIFFERENT.
Since when is trying desperately to look like a vagrant a hobby? Campervans are for sudden, downward shifts in identity and belonging, not cutesy weekend RHD project cars. I should mention that this was spotted on a West Coast Canadian island whose motto is ‘discover yourself here’, so I guess this all makes a weird kind of perfect sense.
~se-lee-ka? ~sae-lick-a? At least if they were by the same company it would be ‘cute’.
Human (after all)
Owning a Ferrari 400i must make you feel bad for folks who have their shit together.
I think I actually make a sound every time I see one of these that’s somewhere between an onomatopoeic ‘gawk’ and the kind of sigh that only remembers the best parts of the past.
Sunday driven
For sale: used (but good) condition air-cooled Porsche-a Carrera, Did I mention it’s an air-cooled car? The patina is at that perfect stage where you can pop it by the local cafe and say ‘oh that old thing? If you think that’s interesting, wait until you hear about the screenplay that I’m working on’. Fun times. Very...deconstructionist-meets-trust-fund. $121,000 OBO.
(I’ll bet it’s a goddamned 912 to boot.)
little red...
asshole. I hate the political division that exists these days, even if it’s just in our screens. It’s mostly hot air, fueled by social media, unaddressed addiction (of the old and new kind), and the false belief that because I know some’s stance on X, I automatically know how they feel about Y, Z, etc. It’s gross. Why can’t each supposed ‘issue’ be taken on its own points? If I know someone’s stance on guns, why do I feel I automatically know their opinion about immigration? Why can’t there be nuance? Why? Because of this guy. Fuck this guy and his anti-vaxxer flat-earth MGTOW climate-denying bullshit.
AutoCADDY
In case you ever wondered where those vehicles you constantly trace in the air when you think no one is looking go, they’re stuck in traffic on King East...

“Hi, is this carsforpretentiousdicks.com? My partner and I have just purchased a 450 square foot authentic loft for 1.9$ million in-between a freeway that’s crumbling, and a post-industrial neighbourhood so bad it doesn’t have sidewalks. Do you have something built by a nation that is somehow simultaneously pompous and cowardly? Yes? Really? Why’s it called that? Perfect. We want people to know that, above all, we are harmless. Oh, one last thing: can it be in a colour that reminds me of those chalky old-lady-marzipan-mint-things?”
‘This is Big Rig, and this is Jesse’
I mean, this guy’s cars are flexing for him. It’s like the automotive equivalent of a neck-tattoo, only that way-too-close cousin you signed a blood-oath with in the forest when you were 10, who (also) collects knives and reptiles got one to match...
nothing to see here
Remember in driver’s ed (specifically, the safety portion), when they reminded you to always park near a brightly lit area? Well, that’s only if you aren’t the criminal. Seriously, if you see an early 90s E-class, at night, in a sketchy part of town, right under a lamp? Keep moving...
Mark IV ‘S’
The elusive VW Golf Safari edition makes an appearance in front of a used bookstore in downtown Toronto...
That name again (is Mr. Plow).
I knew a dickhead in high school who's parents bought him a Mk. 4 Supra. And then a Subaru Sti as a winter-driver, when we got those here in Canada. Maybe this Ryerson student got a similar deal, with the caveat that they had to shovel the drive with it as a 'thank you'...
I just liked it.
Toronto's 'Little Cuba', in thirty years....
Matthew McConaughey, eat your heart out.
DIY Importerceptor.
This is what it would look like if Mad Max took place in Japan. Except, instead of Japan, it was just a shitty neighbourhood in downtown Toronto...
I see what you did there.
There's something straight-up tacky about putting rims from the current generation of whatever you drive on your older model. Folks usually do it with 'finer' cars, too. I don't get it.
What's the point? The only people who give a shit enough to notice just see it as a cheap band-aid solution to a first-world-problem.
This early 90s Mercedes 190E, however, is a rare exception. Classy baller. So understated, and old enough (car gen + wheel gen) that it looks like a smooth inside joke.
Noice.
