Pacecar of the Coronapocalypse: 2001 GMC Savana Quigley 4X4 Conversion

I hate to contribute to the general panic around the coronavirus...but like the 50th person jumping into a dogpile, I feel only a small pang of regret in my gut.  Or is that the coronavirus?  Lack of smell and pangs in your gut?  I gotta google this.  Hang on....nope, I'm good.  Anyway, if you are thinking that the virus and ensuing economic recession is going to mean you might need a bugout vehicle, I have to think that a used Quigley conversion panel van has the right combination of 4X4, skid-plate, basher bumper, and no windows to help you survive. Find this 2001 GMC Savana Quigley 4X4 Conversion here on eBay offered for $16,990 or best offer located in Braidwood, IL.

10k: Pacer of the Apocalypse: 1978 AMC Pacer Restomod

The Pacer was a poorly built hatchback from the waning years of AMC's existence on this planet and would have totally rusted into the collective garbage heaps of America if not for the iconic appearance as the preferred ride of two rockers named Wayne and Garth in the groundbreaking SNL skit-crossover-feature movie Wayne's World (actually, Blues Brothers beat Wayne's World to the big screen by a decade, but we aren't talking cop motor/cop shock combinations today).  Today's Pacer is no Mirthmobile or ordinary example; it looks more like the Pace Car of the Apocalypse. Find this 1978 AMC Pacer Restomod offered for $9,900 reserve-not-met on eBay, with 2 days to go, located in Detroit, MI.

Coffee Brake: Last Gasoline vs First Electric

Let's face it, the internal combustion engine is dead.  It's had a great life, from humble beginnings as a design by Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens in the 17th century for a gunpowder fueled engine to supply water to the gardens at Versailles, to the quad turbo 8.0 liter W16 1000 hp monstrosity in the Bugatti Veyron.  But all things must come to an end.  So, the question for today's Coffee Brake is, what will be the last car you want to drive in the age of dino-juice and what will be the replacement when electrons rule the planet?
