In The Clearing Stands a Boxer: 2016 Factory Five 818

Factory Five is a kit car manufacturer that is known for making those flashy Cobra replicas that are probably a blast to drive but mostly sit in garages when the weather is too cold or too hot.  But Factory Five sells a variety of other kits, some that look like a GT40 and Cobra Daytona Coupe and 33 Ford...but in the past few years they've started their own designs, which I personally prefer to the derivative retro designs and am keen on the Subaru boxer powered model called the 818.  Find this 2016 Factory Five 818 offered for $14000 somewhere in Washington State.

Rome & Spain: 1982 BMW R100 Cafe Racer

Cafe racers are so hot right now. Or well, maybe that was a few years ago. With the fickle nature of trends in the custom motorcycle world, I really couldn't say. The next mustachioed and/or ex-con renegade bike builder needs to show up already and TELL me what's cool! All sarcasm aside, one thing I can say will never go out of style is a minimalist machine with an understated, badass look. Find this 1982 BMW R100 cafe racer for sale in Hollywood, CA for $9,999 via craigslist.
