And if you can sell your wife on her ’60s bullet bra being the only “crush space” in the event of an accident, you deserve a 34-second zero to sixty time. Image source: [Reddit]

The AMT Piranha Will Make You Cry U.N.C.L.E.
/
From 1964 to 1968 there existed a television show called The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Inaccurately Named 1970 Corolla Sprinter Still Runs Great
/
We’re on a bit of a ’70s Japanese iron tin thing today, it seems. Hopefully that’s not a problem. Whenever we see slightly rough, but really cheap vintage imports, this is the end result we have in mind. It’s low, but not too low. The wheels are just right. The interior’s clean, with racing buckets.…

Awesomeness… Now in Model Form.
/
Earlier this year we presented the wonderful work of Michael Paul Smith. His pieces are elaborate and amazing. They are also incredibly clean. What if you are a car nut who is more attracted to greasy grime and rust instead of gleaming chrome and polish? Well get ready to be astounded…again. May I present to…

Suzuki VS800
/
[Ed. note: Tanshanomi brings us another story for Two-Wheel Tuesdays. Do Japanese cruisers fit your fancy?] The VS800 Intruder/S50 has been around for just shy of a quarter of a century. Over that time, it went through several iterations and wore various names, but all of them are remarkably similar. Nowadays, it’s definitely a throwback…

Plenty of Room to Haul Spare Apex Seals: '75 Mazda RX3 Wagon
/
Some day in the not-too-distant future, early-to-mid ’70s rear wheel drive Japanese cars may well be worth more than their domestic contemporaries. This may come about as the slightly younger Japanese nostalgia crowd reaches the prime purchasing power years (otherwise known as mid-life) and Baby Boomers move on to retirement homes.

/
Everybody likes the Rolling Stones. But when your engine starts singing Can’t You Hear Me Knocking? it may be time to switch up your grade of gas. With prices climbing a good ten to twenty cents per gallon when doing so, that can really add up to emptying your bank account while filling your tank.…

Vette On A Wire
/
Yesterday, while we were all doing important things like snarking about cars on the Internet, other people were actually out driving them. One such person was rocking his C6 Vette down Warner Avenue in the OC’s Fountain Valley when wham-bam eggs and ham; he’s got a telephone pole G-string.

¡Ay Dios Mio! Could An E-Type Crush Mexico Under Its Cruel Yoke?
/
Europeans have long fantasized about taking over the former Spanish colonial domains, and while I’m pretty sure the Brits never invaded Mexico, this ‘ere Jag seems ready to rewrite history by attempting to pull an Emperor Max and take over the country for a short period of time. And by that, of course, we mean…

Nothing to see here, just a 1000-hp armored RV.

Because let’s face it, you’ll never be Batman. Don’t let the inspired ad copy fool you: you can sit in the Corvette-chassis’d 1990s Tim Burton Batmobile all you want, making vroom-vroom noises and generally embarrassing yourself in front of your wife and kids (“it’s ok Sally, Daddy’s having one of his ‘moments’”), but you’ll never…
