76 Groovy Cars on eBay…

Image representing eBay as depicted in CrunchBase

I thought it might be kind of fun to take a look at some eBay cars.  I see some pretty cool machines on eBay pretty regularly.  So, I thought it might be fun (and a little challenging) to find a cool car from each “listed” manufacturer on eBay.  I think there are 76, but I guess we’ll know later.

While there are many mainstream cars, there are also some fairly obscure vehicles… even among the “normal” brands, like Chevy or Ford.

First up is Acura.

Of course, the obvious choice would be the NSX.  But that would be too easy.  Instead, I was thinking about Integras.  20 something years ago, I was interested in an LS/SE.  It was the first generation of the Integra, and they were very related to the Civics.  I was involved in Autocrossing at the time and thought it might be a great car for competition.

 

While rolling through the Acura Integras on eBay, I came across one that looked fun.  It is a current SCCA ITA car and ex-Grand-Am racer.

One of the great things about race cars is that they often come with extra parts… this one has a spare engine.  But don’t expect to fly in and drive it home, it isn’t street legal.

Mud4Blood

Mud4Blood time!

It’s that time of year again… Mud4Blood time.

Each year, for the last 8 years, the GBR4WD Club has hosted one of the biggest one day blood drives in the region for LifeSouth.  The goal this year is to break 200 pints of blood collected at the event.

If you are a local car nut with a cool ride… whether it is a high-riding 4×4, low-riding mini-truck, rat rod, resto-mod or rad bike, or even something completely different… we have a cool show for you.

It doesn’t cost a dime to enter, aside from your gas to drive to Hooters in Kennesaw.  We don’t want your money… we want your blood.

If you like to see the coolest cars and the coolest people in the Atlanta Metro area car scene, it doesn’t cost a dime to show up… aside from your gas.  We want you blood.

If you want to have a shot at the HUGE raffle, it doesn’t cost a dime to get a ticket.  We want your blood.

Do you sense a theme here?

It’s all about the blood drive, but the blood drive isn’t the whole thing…  There are cool vendors offering excellent deals, too.  And if you get hungry, it IS at Hooters… right by Cowboys.

J likes cool cars...

So cool the average 3 years knows.

 

It is getting to be that time of year… Car Show Time.

As we move from Spring into Summer, the car show circuit heats up.  And this is the best time of year, too.  It hasn’t gotten as hot as it will be in July, but it’s warm enough to be casual.

I’m always surprised by the quantity of cool cars that can show up at almost any local show.  Hit up the shows in Tucker, Duluth, Cumming and Woodstock and you will see a completely different crop of cars.

The other thing I really like about the local shows is that the owners are right there… and they LOVE to talk about their cool cars… and they often invite the kids to sit in them.

And kids LOVE cool cars.  Both of my boys love hitting a good car show.  It’s really funny… over and over I hear, “I want THIS one.”

Grab the family and get out to a local car show.  There is likely one not too far away.

And if you are in Kennesaw, GA on May 28th, stop by the Hooters on Cobb Parkway.  Drop off a pint of blood and see some cool rides.  Look for me, I’ll be there.
