The post computer age that we live in is rife with companies using semi-autonomous data systems to tailor specific advertising into your inbox. Just today I received an electronic communication from company called Groupon (pretty sure it is pronounced grow-upon and has something to do with hydroponics) with an advertisement for a local establishment that specializes in toe-nail fungus removal. I was shocked, horrified, humiliated. First and foremost, I must unequivocally state that do not have toe-nail fungus. My nail beds are free from all forms of eukaryotic organisms and furthermore I will avoid frequenting establishments where a plurality of the customers have infected toe-nails for fear of contracting said affliction. This toe-nailcropolis should be on a shared list of places not to go, forget Yelp.com, we need a Nelp.com. The point is that quasi-automatic harvesting of information for people on the internet is no match for a human touch, and sometimes you need real people with real brains to help out...like DT's Mid Week Match-Up (tm). Help us find a city driver/beater for Alex V.

If you were a well-to-do stock broker in the late 1980s and wanted a car for picking up a few lady friends, a two-seat Lambo or Ferrari just won't do. You need something with a back seat that offers safety from immobile objects during one of your weekly coke and Quaalude fueled benders. You could have picked up a Land Rover or an SJ Wagoneer, but if you really wanted something with Italian styling there was only one option.

What's the most famous train in the world? Not the Orient Express, Shinkansen, Chattanooga or even the Auto-Train, it's definitely San Francisco's cable cars. You'd think the DNA of every public official in SF would encode genetic memory that historic trains are civic treasure. That's why I was gobstopped to discover the amazing, historic Golden Gate Model Railroaders Club layout is about to be demolished. The Left-Handed Spanner is a special feature column written by DT contributor Kaibeezy.

It is always interesting when car buyers/sellers get heaping piles of advice from internet back seat drivers and pundits. The advice is always well meaning and usually centers around adding value to the car, such as putting appropriate wheels on it, or suggesting an easy engine upgrade. In the case of a certain V8 swapped Mercedes-Benz 250C, the best advice was to ditch the aftermarket steering wheel and nasty 1950s Cadillac style batwing aircleaner housing. Unfortunately the new owner did not see, hear or heed the advice from this website and instead put some nasty donk (dub?) wheels on the car and left everything else the same...including the asking price. Do you think that is gonna stop us from featuring it again? The next owner is gonna need to do better if he expects us to ignore it!

Oct 20, 2013: The Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider was a gorgeous drop-top two seater from Italy, styled by Carlo Felice Bianchi "Cici" Anderloni and built from 1958 to 1961. Most examples trade in the $40k price range when it pristine condition and are powered by one of Alfa's small and sweet inline-4 cylinder engines.

If you are a hipster douche-bag with some money in the bank, the car to get is the BMW E30 M3. But, what if your used trucker hat was actually once used by a trucker, your ironic t-shirt is ironic because you bought it from an Armenian thrift store and you don't realize it says douche-bag in Armenian on it, and those rips in your jeans are from wear/tear. If this is the case you might want to consider the E36 M3 because it offers the same blinker free driving experience at a fraction of the cost.

The 2002 Disney film The Rookie is based on the real life story of a high school Baseball coach who had washed out of the majors due to shoulder injuries years ago, but went to tryout after promising his high school team. The film was actually made decent money, probably because it was a G rated film that parents wanted to see. This next feature is a 1964 Ford Falcon Wagon that was used for at least one scene in the movie currently offered for $8,500 in Fredericksburg, VA via craigslist.
