13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.

Awakening A 1964 Buick LeSabre After 40 Years of Slumber

We’ve all seen it happen. That melancholy moment when the family workhorse gets put out to pasture, officially retired from daily duty. From there, the vehicle’s first few months in storage quickly turn into years, and years turn into decades, as the once prominent transport of family and life gets buried in layers of dust and dirt—sometimes becoming convenient horizontal storage for other cast-aside items of daily life. Our featured 1964 Buick...

Turning a 1958 Edsel Into a Bond-Themed Spy Car with Gizmos and Gadgets Galore

I grew up in Southern California in the 1960s, when car culture was a big influence on a boy. Slot cars and plastic models were the gateway drugs, so to speak, which was followed by go-karts and minibikes. I lived in a rural area on the family chicken ranch where there was plenty of room to rod around on hard-packed dirt. My dad, who built much of his own farm equipment, fabricated a go-kart for my older brother when he was 5. I inherited the...
