Friend and former C/D contributor Jason Cammisa returns to Window Shop this week to help us look for sleepers that cost less than $20,000. Not to be confused with the 1973 Woody Allen movie, in the car world, a sleeper (a.k.a. a Q-ship or Q-car) is a vehicle that doesn't look fast but is. Think, wolf in sheep's clothing. First up is Santa Barbara's favorite son and Road & Track's newest staffer, John Pearley Huffman. Now that Huffman no longer has to worry about his freelance career, he has even more time to devote to Toyota Tundras. So it should surprise no one that his pick is a 2007 Tun...

$20,000 Used Convertibles: Window Shop with Car and Driver A search for the perfect $20,000 droptop reveals how eclectic our tastes are. Apr 23, 2021 With warmer weather on the horizon, the Window Shoppers take a look at some summer favorites: convertibles. We set a healthy budget of $20,000 to ensure the panel finds interesting examples, and in that, they didn't disappoint. First up is contributor John Pearley Huffman, who stretches the definition of "convertible" to its breaking point by picking a Meyers Manx. The crew points out that without a top, the Manx doesn't fit the bill....

Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Published: 4/21/2021 1:44:52 PM The third week in April holds a special meaning for Toni Gildone, Monadnock Community Hospital’s volunteer coordinator. It’s the one week a year where volunteers are nationally recognized for their efforts – even though Gildone will sing the praises of the 130 people who devote a portion of their week to the hospital any day of the year. Typically, Gildone would make it a point to see each and every volunteer at some point during National Volunteer Week to personally thank them. But for the second year in a row that just was...

$50,000 Used Cars We'd Keep for Five Years: Window Shop with Car and Driver We consider a five-year car commitment on a $50,000 budget. Apr 9, 2021 The Window Shop crew went to work this week searching for used cars we'd be willing to commit to until 2026. For some of us, five years is a long time to hold on to the same car—even hypothetically. So we set the budget a little higher than usual, at $50,000, to allow for more choice. First up, contributor John Pearley Huffman presents the last body-on-frame car from GM: a 1996 Chevy Impala SS. The rest of us don't understand why he...

Replacing a BMW M3 for $20,000: Window Shop with Car and Driver Tony Quiroga © Car and Driver Special guest Zack Klapman of the Smoking Tire joins us to see if we can replace his E46 BMW M3. The Window Shop crew has a special guest this week, the witty and hilarious Zack Klapman of the Smoking Tire podcast. Klapman and Matt Farah work together on a number of projects, including their One Take series on Youtube, but one thing that Farah won't touch is Klapman's E46 BMW M3. Like so many M3s of that vintage, his example perpetually throws a check-engine light, which got us thi...
