It Means The Camino: 1974 Chevrolet El Camino

This next thing is a hunk of old American iron for $3800...which isn't a bad thing at all. It is certainly better than a fancy premium Wordpress theme that crashed an entire installation and required a complete nuke and rebuild of a website.  I should really stick to cars and pay someone to deal with these electrons.  Find this 1974 Chevrolet El Camino offered for $3800 in Rumney, NH via craigslist. Tip from TeleArrow.

No Fire Yet...Lots of Smoke


I hate to be a complainer, but this migration to Wordpress was far more complicated than I expected...but with a big help from Hugh (regular DT tipper and commenter) I was able to install Wordpress on a server twice (the first installation had to get nuked from orbit after a plugin went bad...it was the only way to be safe) and use a nifty blogger to Wordpress conversion tool, which is a pure brute force method and has about as much subtly as a winged midget racer.  This conversion tool is currently importing the almost 10,000 stories and 50,000 comments into the new environment..one piece at a time. Once that is done, we can get to the business of implementing the new look/feel and commenting system.


DT Transition to Wordpress

Just a quick update from the front office...or is this the back office...I dunno...anyway, we're still polishing the paint on the DT migration from Blogger to Wordpress, so please accept my apologies if feature content is low.  We will get back to posting the best collection of custom junk on the internet just as soon as this old paint buffs up to a nice shine.

Fire Sale: 1982 Renault Fuego

The Fuego was built by Renault from 1980 to 1986, sold in the US through AMC dealers and featured such innovations as the world's first keyless remote system...which is funny because this next Fuego is being offered sans keys.  And it's on a trailer....but at least the listed price is low and this appears to be a turbocharged manual transmission equipped Fuego...future classic for sure. Find this 1982 Renault Fuego offered for a 24 Hrs of LeMons friendly $700 CAD ($515 USD) via theFacebook themarketplace. Tip from Erik202.



See Five Season: 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Ah, the C5 Corvette Z06. The cheapest way to go fast, and the fastest way to lose your license. It is a formidable track machine, tuned by the wizards at Chevy's performance group to take the standard C5 from fast enough to faster. When introduced in 2001, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was the fastest production car for less than $100k, and today, a used Z06 is the fastest stock car for less than $15k in just about any competition environment (drag, track, autox, etc). Find this 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 offered for $12,900 in Glendale, AZ via craigslist.
