A couple of months back, there was a story on Wrecked Exotics about a Texas man who drove his Bugatti Veyron into a lake. After seeing this 1925 Type 22 being pulled out of a Swiss lake all I can say is- copy cat.

Why I Fell In Love With Ramblers
/
Everyone has a story that explains their particular tastes in cars. My story of how I became obsessed with interested in Volkswagens would fill many tomes and likely make most question my sanity. (Let’s just say it involves camping trips in a second-gen Bugbox and a few road-trips in a metallic brown Rabbit that my…

What's Your Eleanor? – A Galaxy Far, Far Away Edition
/
Seems like a lot of our “Eleanors” have dated from our awkward high school eras, and my “Eleanor” is no different. I grew up in a solidly Japanese car household, where four cylinders were more than enough and velour interiors were a gaudy and ostentatious display of excess. Vinyl burns on your legs were a…

2010 Dodge Dakota
/
The last 10 years brought marked advances in power, handling, safety and creature comforts to the half-ton truck. Apparently no one told the Dakota, which is still partying like it’s 1999. Jeff asked me not to use the term “piece of shit truck” in a review, but what he didn’t realize is that I meant it…

/
Jezza did it in a Roller, Keith Moon favored a Lincoln Continental, and just last month a Massachusetts mom canonballed her SUV. Driving cars into swimming pools may not have the national attention of say Dancing With the Stars, but it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining.

Don't Let this '69 Subaru 360 Slip Through Your Fingers
/
An eBay seller whose screen name seemed familiar has decided to let this Subaru 360 go with no reserve. As of this writing, that means a little over a grand. It runs and drives, but needs attention. The paint’s not bad by our standards, but most would call it crappy. The driver’s side floor has…

Some of you may or may not know that I write a monthly column for Chevy Enthusiast Magazine, titled Weird and Wonderful Bowties. It is quite unlike any other column you may read in a magazine, but not unlike this blog. You see, I don’t like writing about all the usual suspects that might be…
