Horrible car listings make my brain hurt. Is it ever okay to list a total junker as “in fair condition” when it “needs welding around the shock housing”? A dismal example of dodgy listing is this ad on Facebook for a supposedly all-wheel-drive 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse. First thing that caught my attention was the “Limited Edition” badge: I worked at Wal-Mart long enough to know that they sell this exact sticker there, and that the only thing limited about this car is power (that’s a whole can o’ worms itself, more on that in a bit). There was no such thing as this designation for the Eclipse. The “turbo” badge is another Wal-Mart special–I had the same one pasted on my laptop! Hey, at least he admits that’s fake. And, unless I’m horribly mistaken, the base model did not come with all-wheel-drive.

Remember the first Nissan SE-R? The car magazines went completely nuts for it back in the day. Well, Motive Mag thought it would be fun to pit the rusty, 135K mile example below against a brand new SE-R Spec V. Their conclusion? The new "Sentra has lost its magic. The Spec V is a better car than the 1991 model, but it’s not a better SE-R." Read the full article at Motive Mag.

This is the car forum story of the year, if not the decade. A guy missing two fingers steals a 1991 GT-R off a Calgary car lot, the car salesman posts about the theft on Beyond.ca, and within hours the forum members track down the thief, box the car in at his house, and get some good video as the cops haul the guy off to jail. And now, to add insult to injury, the thief’s hat, which was found in the recovered Skyline, is up on eBay. Ain’t the internet great?
