It’s time to move on from ridiculous hoonage back to the real world (for now). After the canyons and the empty streets of California City came miles of long, straight highway.

The Mother of All Vintage Drag Picture Threads
/
Be it F1, rally, stock cars or drag, vintage racing is a peerless paradigm of authentic automotive awesomeness. The sponsors were few, the cars were metal and the helmets were open faced.

Just About Perfect: Supercharged e34 M5 Touring
/
As the owner of two grey station wagons, I can attest to the near-invisibility to law enforcement of the wagon form factor.

Reader Wasabi was cruising up I95 in Connecticut the other day when he saw this car retreating quickly past him. It is a Peugeot 308 wearing New Jersey manufacturer plates. It’s cool to see it here stateside…but what is it doing over here? Maybe the rumors from 2007 are finally coming true and Peugeot is thinking about a return…

/
Covering the North American International Auto Show in Detroit was a treat, as I was able to co-mingle among the journalists and bloggers I have come to know over the past several years. So what if there was very little in the way of news; Who cares if the bloggers were making up posts to…

Last Call- Two Mods, One Bucket Edition

The problem for some people with shopping at Costco is having to buy everything in bulk, and then finding where to but it all when they get home. Of course, for the builder of this double 4.6 ‘modular’ engined Bucket T, that probably wouldn’t be an issue. Thanks to Tomsk for the snap.

I thought about running each of these listings as a separate posting, but in all reality, that only takes up valuable bandwidth. Presenting some of the questionable Ebay Listings for this weekend….

2010 Acura TL SH-AWD with Six-Speed Manual
/
The film Roxanne, written by Steve Martin and released in 1987, is a modern version of the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac which was penned exactly 90 years prior. A random fact, the original version is actually responsible for the modern usage of the word “panache”. In the more modern version, double-edged-sword Martin portrays the main character…

/
Around the same time I spotted a Dodge Ram Van, with a custom Cabriolet Roof Treatment, I spotted another Chrysler offspring in the form of a 1982 Chrysler Imperial. When these came out, they were quite breathtaking, in a weird Malaise sort of way. With a long front end, and a Seville like “Bustle Back”…
