Sometimes a craigslist ad pops up that provides such an interesting picture of the seller that the normal formula for reporting doesn't apply. It doesn't really matter that this is a 1970 Ford E-200 V8 Van for sale at $3500 in San Diego, CA via craigslist - because the photos are worth 1000 words...each.

??k: Ramses' Chariot: 1980s Fiero-Trike, Riddler
Sometime in the 13th Century BC the largest ever recorded battle involving chariots took place in the city of Qadesh in what is now modern day Syria. King Ramses II of the Egyptian Empire engaged Muwatalli II of the Hitites with a combined force of roughly 6000 chariots and 60,000 men. Chariots ruled the ancient world until armored knights proved far more mobile than the 2 wheel + 1 horse setup and became obsolete. However, until an unnamed builder in Grand Rapids, MI combined the proud history of the chariot with GM's 2-seat mid-engine '80s sports icon for a stunningly futuristic view of future warfare. Find the Fiero-Trike for sale via craigslist at an undisclosed asking price.

5k: 1973 Siva S160 Spyder -VW kit car
You may have detected in a past a hint of disdain for most kit cars from the editors of the Daily Turismo. Honestly, it comes from seeing too many Cobra, Fauxrarri and Poor-sha based kit cars that take an iconic shape and combine it with eastern bloc build quality. We don't have an problem with Berlin wall build quality, but we do have a problem with dilution of value of the original art and generally good looking cars that drive like crap and are priced like golden crap. A little history lesson for you - there was a time when the booming kit-car industry produced all kinds of unique looking cars based on VW chassis, fast forward to today, the 'kit-ca'r is now synonymous with Cobras driven by wife beater wearing balding fat guys. It is a shame because the old industry employed all sorts of engineers, skilled laborers and craftsman - instead today it just replicates old designs and ships the same ready for $7k paint job, 427 cubic inch engine, Fox body suspensioned beasts to the local car shows each year, most of the kits today are built overseas with molds created decades ago. For a kit-car that isn't heinous -we think this 1973 Siva Spyder S160 for sale in Loudon, TN currently bidding on ebay for $2,092 reserve-not-met with 3 days to go, will do the trick (Thanks to tip from Andrew L.)

DTween/WW 5k: Human Powered Velomobile
Today we have a combined Daily Turismoween and Wasteland Wednesday post and you'll have to stay with us to understand our reasoning.
