2010 Mazda Mazda5
/
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. The night I took this picture, I became an uncle and my brother became a father. Meanwhile, my own first progeny is (hopefully) a few weeks away. An unplanned ten pounds of diaper ruination doesn’t have the Missus and me scrambling to shop for family…

California Wagon Dreamin' – LeMons Part Hauler Edition
/
How’d your Saturday go? This week we decided to skip Cars and Coffee this week in favor of More Sleep and Coffee. We needed the extra energy to spend a day reveling in bottom-end Automobilia. You see, for nearly a year I’ve been sitting on a pile of BMW 6-series trim and interior bits. Basically…

I Don't Think This is an April Fool's Joke
/
The Chrysler/Maserati TC has gone down in history as one of the more horrible offspring of two parents who may have imbibed too much chianti on the night of conception. That combination of Chrysler chassis and Maserati-modded motor lived up to neither the sporting pretensions of the Italians, nor the luxury pedigree of previous Chryslers.…

Last Call- That Pictogram's a Little Specific Edition

Road signs are usually designed to warn of danger. In some instances, they can also provide instruction on how to dispatch that wealthy dowager in order to collect the inheritance. Image source: [collegehumor.com]

A Two-Wheeled Military BMW… From China… With Five Wheels
/
This beautiful example was spotted at the Powerama show in Edmonton this weekend. A wartime BMW is rare enough, but one with the upgraded 750cc, 37hp engine? Well that’s something special!

Estonians Give Russians a Run for their Kooky Snow Vehicle Money
/
When we think of Estonia, we think of…umm…trying to remember which one’s which between Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia when placing them on the map in northeastern Europe. That, and cyber-war. What we don’t think of are Passat monster trucks. That’s right. Jump!

V.I.S.I.T: A Bizarre Lincoln Limo spotted in New York
/
Call me a little lazy, but I just discovered these images on my “Crackberry” that I took when I was at the New York International Auto Show that happened a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it’s a rolling advertisement, with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe to it for the bar called Jekyll and Hyde.

Warning: No Lifeguard on Duty
/
Some car washes offer brushless cleaning, others tout “hand wash” but if you really want your Mazda to be summer fresh, nothing beats a full immersion in the clorine-rich waters of an apartment house swimming pool. That’s perhaps what the driver of this hatchback 3 thought as he knocked down the fence and bellyflopped into…

What does the AP Style Guide say for a Pimped Out Accord?
/
Brooklyn teacher Amanda Pogany had her 1996 Honda Accord stolen three years ago. Recently, she had it returned by police during a chop-shop raid, and like the world’s longest episode of Overhaulin’ the plucky thieves had added a few optional extras: a Honda H22 VTEC engine and 5-speed transmission swap, for starters. The enterprising thieves…

Hooniverse Asks- Who Has Had The Most Disappointing Racing Turn?
/
Now that Danika Patrick has had a couple of turns of the wheel in NASCAR, where things generally haven’t been going her way, she’s gotten all pouty about the whole thing. But there have been other drivers who have made even less auspicious debuts, and we want some suggestions as to the one that was…

Caption this: Two Chevy's, one hump edition
/
Since we don’t really have any memes of our own (that I can think of) I’m going to go ahead and coin the term Doin it Chevy-style. Have at it in the comments. Special thanks to CptSevere for the photo.

Still Life: Forged in Kenosha, Replaced by a Renault
/
Sometimes it’s hard to believe the AMC Spirit was canned in favor of the Renault Alliance. So what if it was a freshened-up Gremlin with an optional 5.0L V8? I mean, just LOOK at it – the Spirit in its natural habitat, surrounded by that endangered species known as American heavy industry. They will always…

Best Marque Name Ever? Deep Sanderson 301 Le Mans Coupe

Of all the minuscule British racers with awesome names (Clan Crusader, anyone?), I happen to think that the Deep Sanderson 301 has the field beat on absurdity alone.

WTF GTR?
/
We’re a pretty inclusive bunch, not really ones to pass judgement on others’ style. That said, we’re gonna go ahead and say it’s not ok to cover the dash and package shelf of your GTR with cutesy stuffed animals. Also, the only god that comes to mind in this case is Koalemos. The worst part…

Disco Stu Has a Pinto for You

It’s hard to say which is more egregious- putting eleventy million mirror squares on your Pinto, or driving it in traffic on a sunny day. Image source: [motortrend]
