I’ve always felt like the 5-cylinder was the red headed stepchild of the inline internal combustion engine family. Four-bangers are everywhere; inline sixes are “teh sex” and normally reserved for silky German machinery (unless we’re talking pre-V6 America, in which case they were completely pedestrian). But the 5-pot never got much attention. Maybe that’s why […]

Craigslist searching skills, hard negotiating, and knowledge of a marque all go […]
