This has to be the cleanest, most complete and original Daihatsu Rocky in existence:

Um, holy shit . Turbo, 5-spd, and a real hi/lo 4WD system with locking diff. All for $3,700. Wow.

And look at it! It's MINT! This website is like a listing of shitty cars you might find on Craigslist, except every one of them is in showroom perfect condition!

It's...beautiful. *tear*

But really, the RX only weighs in at like 2,300lb or so. This is like the ultimate rallycross sleeper.

Off to the Internet to learn more about the 1985 Bitter

I've seen a few of their mint 80s Subarus pop up on Bring A Trailer. It's astounding how clean their stock is.

Clearly this 1993 Chrysler LeBaron Landau with only 40k miles is the gem of the collection.

Look at this upholstery! It's like visiting grandma every time you go for a drive.

What other amazing features could this car POSSIBLY have? Glad you asked! It has a full length overhead console .

And if that's not enough, how about this amazing message center?

Looks like it's got a rear LSD too.

Oh, and an innovative spare tire location.

These two cars are on offer on the same website, next to each other. This. Is. FANTASTIC!

So Doug, does that mean we're not getting a post from you today?

In case you're struggling for topics, which surely you're not, here are some ideas:

- The art of buying and selling your dream cars while breaking even

- Why the Autobahn actually isn't any fun at all (construction, lorries, speed limits)

- Depreciation Specials - Buyers Guide

- Why the G Wagon costs so much (I have no idea, I was hoping you could tell me)

- Why all car enthusiasts should get together in their respective cities, timeshare a storage/shop facility, and run enthusiast clubs for the sake of the hobby

- Which cars you'd invest in today, as opposed to in commodities, stocks, real estate, to have the greatest chance of making a healthy return in let's say, 5-15 years.

- What your car choice and colour choice say about you, as a driver (even though we hate to admit it)

- Why so many amateur mechanics/car enthusiasts enjoy spending time online/under their car more than actually driving the thing? Honestly,... it's baffling.

- Why Aston Martin hasn't made a good car since they launched the DB9 (2003) and V8 Vantage (2005)?

- Why people are so afraid to buy a rebuilt 997 GT3, even though it's half the price of a clean 997 GT3? (Maybe that's too personal of a caveat)

Anyways, get going, because your posts routinely make my day.

Sadly yes that's what it means. I was really disappointed with the piece yesterday- I think I rushed it and the result was crap, which people figured out quickly. I'll be back next week with more! And I ALWAYS appreciate ideas. Although to the autobahn one, here's a Doug piece from a long time ago!!

Honestly, that Ion Red Line is giving me an itch that needs scratching. I bought my wife a Vue Red Line about a year ago and we love the thing.. if only it was a stick shift..

thanks for killing all of my productivity for the day, and what the hell is this?

This is the Jalopest used car list ever, even with zero Miatas.

Besides the tons of Jeep XJs, SAABs, Volvos, Isuzus & old M-Bs, there's 16 diesels, five of which are wagons, including two manuals in brown!

Weirdest? Hmm, Laforza, or Isuzu I-Mark (Chevette sedan) diesel?

Probably not Jon Voight's car

Always had a soft spot for the Avanti.

Nah. Grandma's upholstery has clear plastic slipcovers on it.

If that TJ was a manual I would sell mine this second and purchase

Is that a CD or an SD?

it says it's an SD. You mean there was more than one Bitter?!

Yup! If that's the SD, this is a CD (and the later CD2)

If I remember correctly the company was founded in the 1970s by some nerd from Opel who decided to pull a Ferrucio Lamborghini and say "fuck it, I'll build my own, better, faster, stronger!".

Hmm... Not sure about that CD2.....
