I'm just one person, damn it! I can't possibly keep up two blogs, a print columns, regular features and an actual day job. SO, if you like your cars cool or cheap (better yet, if you like both) let me know and maybe you can help out on CCC! After all, the design is just too cool to delete the blog. Even though I never get around to posting and you're the only one who's read this. Just post a comment if you want a piece of this.

You Holden?
Yes, puns galore, as the chance for a rear-wheel-drive, sporty pontiac looms. And this time, it's got four doors, for all your kangaroos and boomerangs. There was a time when fast and RWR was the only way America made cars. Sure, there was the Tornado and the Riviera and the Eldarado to challange the status quo - but, generally, sweet understearing pleasure was yours to have.

The Holden Commadore, set to become a Pontiac next year, looks promising. Though, to be fair, it also looks like an older 3-series BMW. In other words, it's the accoutant's performance sedan and won't get young hip folks like you (you blog reader, you.)

So, rather than buy a worthless Australian car, why not check out this gorgeous AMC Javelin on eBay. Yeah, it's up to 30K right now - which isn't cheap, but this thing's definately cool, car-wise. It's got a system. It's got rims. It's sex on wheels is what it is - and you'll sell it for 30K when you're over it.

The crappy Commadore, above, won't be worth a god damn thing when you want to throw it away. Worst case scenario, it'll come back.

Not Cool, Not Cheap Still Cars.


So, you whine, CCC hasn't posted a damn thing in weeks. Is the blog dead? Should I not bother to subscribe? Why should I care, you ask yourself.

Perhaps that's the point. There aren't exactly 365 cool, cheap cars to post about everyday. You'll even notice that this cool cheap car here, the VeeDub - is about 50 years old, and, when you pimp it out like this - there's nothing cheap about it. Plus, it's from the 2005 SEMA show, so not really fresh news either.

So that's the thing - there really aren't any cool cheap cars at the moment. The Wrangler's always alright, and I don't totally hate the four-banger Fusion, with 5-speed. But at 18K plus TLR, it's not all that cheap. The Focus is too old to matter. The Scions are for a very specific group of people, who, perhaps also like obnoxious music, baseball caps and rice. What's left, you ask? Used car heaven, another VW - for 3 grand, on our best friend - eBay. A cool car with no design, heater or pretense - the Thing. The thing is everything you wand and nothing you don't. Plus, it's got all the appeal of the Wrangler - without the newly-added power windows, which are for lamers anyway. It's basic transportation at its best.
