One of the fleet of Nintendo Vehicles coined as "PokePatrol" that toured the United States to promote Pokemon in 1998 through the mid-2000s.
The Volkswagen Beetle is such an icon of car culture that it's hard to see how a follow-up could be done. However, that's just what Volkswagen did in 1997 with the aptly-named New Beetle.

Thanks to its cutesy nature, the New Beetle would see some adaptations, such as witnessed by this 1998 Volkswagen Beetle Pikabug. Said to be #9 from the PokePatrol fleet, this one-of-a-kind Beetle sports a healthy 176,000 miles, showing that it enjoys long runs. The current owner reports the car has a new engine and also comes with the original engine.

In 2005, Chevrolet revealed the all-new C6 or sixth generation Corvette. It did away with pop-up headlamps due to tightening safety regulations, but improved upon the C5 in nearly every other way.

BMW’s 3-Series is a fine compact luxury car, embodying BMW’s spirit of creating the Ultimate Driving Machine. The default choice for many petrolheads for decades, BMW had the bright idea of pushing the envelope and creating a halo variant in the mid 1980s. Their efforts came to fruition with the E30 M3 that ran between 1986 and 1991. With its fizzy four-cylinder engine and myriad performance enhancements, the letter-and-number pairing of M3 quickly gained a reputation. Ever since then, every 3-Series has been accompanied by an M3. Engines grew from four to six to eight cylinders, and then went back to six, albeit with turbocharging. This particular 2023 BMW M3 Competition from Sunset, Texas is from the current G80 series and has just 5,000 miles on the clock. Plus it’s got the Competition Package for an even more hardcore driving experience, while retaining the family-friendliness that the 3-Series is known for.
