A Rare ‘80s Chevy Monte Carlo
The '80s spawned some legendary performance, including the Monte Carlo SS. But even more rare and less well known than the regular Monte Carlo SS was the AeroCoupe, which was only on sale for the 1986 and 1987 model years. Just 200 of these NASCAR homologation specials were ever made. Lafontaine Classic Cars highlighted an extra clean example that the dealer had for sale.

Integra Type S Tested; Civic Type R Showdown
The Acura Integra Type S ruffled some feathers with its debut, but a true enthusiast can't stay mad at a 300+ horsepower sport compact with a six-speed manual, especially when it debuts in a land full of crossovers and a looming EV transition. What you really want to check out in this video is how the Type S stacks up against the Type R in a drag race, where the two's five horsepower difference comes to a head.
Buying A Acura NSX
E_ought is pretty lucky. Not only does he live in Japan, but this also gives him access to a fantastic array of old JDM models. In this week's video, he takes delivery of a first generation NSX. It's beautifully stock, something that would be hard to find here in the U.S. And with just 43,000 miles on it, its in great condition.
An Old Dodge Durango Review
The first generation Dodge Durango was a proper SUV. Based on the midsize Dakota, it looked tough. But at the turn of the century, Dodge decided to cater to those who wanted a truck with a bit of performance, and the Durango R/T was born. The R/T SUV got all-wheel drive and a 5.9-liter 245 hp Magnum V8. Check out MotorWeek's retro review from this week, as they put the Durango R/T through its paces, way back in 2002.
Stupid. Fast. Fun.
A shopping cart and a go-kart engine sounds like dumb fun. And dangerous. But again, undeniably fun.

So, the boys went back to the drawing board and this week, after some tinkering, they take it to the streets to see what it can really do.
Too Many Cars
Now that Flying Wheels' two year journey of flipping $400 into a Ferrari has ended, he's faced with another problem: Too many cars. See, over those two years, he ended up with a few vehicles he never got rid of. Now he has the Ferrari along with a collection of vehicles straight out of a late 1990's lottery winner's dreams. Oh, and he can't seem to bring himself to part with any of it.
All Show, No Go
