1988 Volvo 240 Wagon - Hmmm...Tempting. Tempting. If this car is all the seller says it is, it wouldn't take a lot to make it a nice car again. This is not a great ad. There is just one (lousy) pictu...
Honda vs. BMW - One More Post 15 Jul 2012 | 07:22 pm
One more post about my old BMW and the new Honda, then I'll let it go. Some random thoughts and observations... I used to think that I must be an alright looking guy - I based part of that on what gi...
1992 Honda Civic - My New Ride - No One, But No One - Including Me - Saw This Coming 15 Jul 2012 | 01:13 am
Meet the new car. Yep. It's a 1992 Honda Civic. A base 1992 Honda Civic. Power windows? Nope. Power locks? Nope. Right side mirror? No way. Sunroof? Nope, a solid roof. A tachometer? Hell, no. It does...

I sold my 1995 E36 BMW last week. When I told the people close to me what I had done, they reacted with sympathy. One said that it must have been like ending a relationship. In many ways my relation...
Whoa! GM Gets Controversial... 11 Jun 2012 | 10:01 pm

1969 Austin America - I've always been fascinated by these cars. I even bought one once with the intention of restoring it. Unfortunately, that never happened. On paper, the America was a brilliant l...
1986 Lands Precedent Sportswagon - Thankfully Just 1 of 2 1 Jun 2012 | 08:36 pm
This was most likely a brilliant idea back in 1983. A luxury minivan / station wagon. Japanese companies were building minivan / station wagon hybrids, but they were relatively inexpensive and not ver...
1983 BMW 733i 5 Speed 31 May 2012 | 06:00 pm
The E23 was the first BMW to be called a 7 Series. It replaced the E3 (2500 / 2800 / Bavaria) in BMW's lineup. It took me awhile to get used to it. The E3 has a delicate, sporty, almost Italian look t...
A Pair of Renault (R5) Le Cars 28 May 2012 | 12:48 am
Imagine what the folks in charge of Renault would be thinking if the only car blog they ever saw was Just a Car Geek. They would most likely be scratching their heads, wondering how the Le Car did not...
1965 Vanden Plas Princess 4 Litre R 25 May 2012 | 10:01 pm
I wrote about one of these almost 3 years ago. I haven't seen another one come up for sale since. For the sake of time - and because there really isn't anything new to add - I'm going to copy what I w...
