Rockin' Supercar: The Rebirth, Short Life, and Death of a Shark-Fin-Equipped '85 Toyota Tercel Wagon

Sometimes a very ordinary car becomes something special, maybe even loved, but that's not always enough to keep it out of the jaws of the crusher. This is the story of a second-gen Toyota Tercel wagon (known in Japan as the Sprinter Carib) and its journey from auction to lumber-hauler to kid transportation to a Chinese steel factory. Around the turn of the century, while I was working at a doomed dot-com in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, I discovered that the city auctioned off all the unclaimed tow-away cars every week at nearby Pier 70.

Porsche Boxster Spyder (2010) – lots of new photos

Updated photo gallery of the Porsche Boxster Spyder below Porsche revealed the Boxster Spyder at the beginning of the month, together with a smallish set of photos and a video.

The Los Angeles Motor Show is probably the perfect location for Porsche to launch the Boxster Spyder.
