Hope you are enjoying your 4th of July, and if you aren't, well...this next feature should put a smile on your face because it is out of this world. The Chrysler Cordoba was downsized for the 1980 model year and stuck on the J-Body platform shared with the Dodge Mirada, so you can't even use the logic that the Cordoba shared the B-platform with the Superbird...but why should that stop anyone from building such a thing.

By Matt -- Forgive me for making assumptions here but you, me, and all of our friends are priced out of the original Mazda Cosmo, Skyline GT-R, and Toyota 2000GT, among many other things. Most of us would have to switch to Ramen diets to even afford an RX-3 or 240Z that isn’t made of nightmares. So what vintage Rising Sun tin is left for the rest of us which slots below the Barrett Jackson-san but with more GT prestige than say, a B210 Honeybee? Behold, this RA29 Toyota Celica Liftback with Watanabe RS8’s and a 13b swap on Charleston, SC craigslist for $6,000.

As we creep up on the national Holiday known as 
Erich Bitter was the German equivalent of John Z DeLorean -- no he didn't get wrapped up in some ridiculous drug sting by overzealous DEA agents, but he was involved in the automotive industry for a number of decades before deciding to launch his own marque..and it was surprisingly successful...for a few minutes.

Video game manufacturers have figured out that not only can they sell you a game at $60 a pop, they can further "monetize" you with paid downloadable content (DLC). The Forza Motorsport franchise on Xbox has been doing this with it's monthly car packs. A couple of notable sites on the inter-tubes such as Jalopnik and The Smoking Tire have had Forza car packs along with industry vendors such as Meguiar's, eBay Motors and even Hot Wheels. Which got me thinking: what would a Daily Turismo Car Pack look like? Note: this is just idle thinking, there is no Daily Turismo Car Pack for Forza Motorsport coming out. |

By Matt -- The
