Find of the Day: 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit L

H2O has come and gone, and as much as it pains me to admit it, Daylight Savings Time is just weeks away. For those among us with solid garage space and a decent amount of ambition, this means that it’s time to get cracking on those winter projects. And today’s Find of the Day would make for an impressive one, or simply be a turn-key driver, depending on the new owner’s preference.

As a one-owner Washington DC-based car for the last 31 years, this Rabbit L could just be the ideal starting point for someone who is light on time, and not afraid to spend a few bucks to get an extremely clean car. Currently available on Staten Island at Land Rover specialty shop Rover Classic, the 84,000 original mile Diesel-powered Rabbit L is one of the nicest examples we’ve seen, with clean paint and a completely crack-free dash. Add to that the extensive maintenance performed at the dealer, and this Mk1 seems to not only be a solid starting point, but could also be just fine staying as-is.

This Rabbit L is currently for sale on eBay Motors, at a Buy It Now price of $6,500. Considering the condition and recent maintenance, it’s definitely worth the asking price.

Check out the full for sale ad here, and thanks to Rico for the tip!

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
