While we have a special class for Corvairs at this year’s New England Concours d’Elegance, I don’t think this one will get an invite.

It didn’t take long for the 2010 Cobra Jet Mustangs to start showing up on eBay. In fact, the first one hit just after the cars shipped. That one turned out to be shady and was quickly pulled down. We...
While the tuning world waits for the release of the Toyota FT-86, the CR-Z is quietly becoming the latest hot tuner car in Japan. Already HKS has outfitted a CR-Z and run the car at Fuji Speedway (I suspect quite...
I’m spending this week driving around Tokyo in a brand new Fiat 500 Abarth esseesse. I haven’t had a chance to drive it much but I’m already getting used to its tiny dimensions and massive fun factor. It reminded me...
For the last several decades the Ford Crown Victoria has ruled the roost when it came to police-issued transportation. The only thing more antiquated than the 33-year-old “Panther” chassis it ran on might be the horses used by mounted police....
I’ve seen a lot of drag strip close calls where a driver winds up crossing the centerline and barely misses the other car, but this isn’t one of those. It took split-second timing to produce this wreck, and drives home...
The American Heritage Dictionary defines jalopy as a word used to describe an old, dilapidated motor vehicle–especially an automobile. The origin of the word itself is hazy. The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary goes further, suggesting the word may have...

I don’t know why, but there’s something about a big flock of DeLoreans all in one place never fails to put a smile in my heart. This was at the St. Patrick’s Day parade this past weekend in Houston, via...
Cruisin’ through Santa Monica yesterday, I spotted this clad BMW. I said, “hey, I gotta snap me a shot of that beast!” I pulled alongside after I shot this one, and ONLY this one. The guy took one...
Episode 4 of Bullrun starts out with the Brothers Wu getting screwed by another competitor. Someone actually had the balls (or lack thereof) to call the cops on the Wus, since the Wu’s are better at playing the game then...
