Everyone seemed to get a huge kick out of seeing Scottish singer Amy Macdonald in last week's "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car" segment of Top Gear. I mean, you'd have to be crazy not to. She's adorable! She has owned three Audi R8s! She has a Ferrari 458 Italia! She used to own a Nissan GT-R but thought it was too…

Welcome to Used Car Face Off, where we find two similar or similarly priced used cars and ask you which one you would buy. Choose wisely!

If there was a dictionary entry for “failed roadsters” the Buick Reatta and Cadillac Allante would be right there. It’s not that they were especially bad cars, but they were…

I have an unexplained soft spot for American Motors. Perhaps it’s the underdog thing or just that they dared to be different for different’s sake. Maybe it's because they teamed up with Renault in their later years to make things that looked good on paper yet were terrible in reality. Whatever the case, if I had the…

The Polaris Slingshot

Welcome to Found Around The District, where we highlight fascinating cars we find around a city where people are too busy fighting through traffic and hunting for parking to drive anything interesting: Washington, D.C.

In 1965, Ford started to get serious about Le Mans. Big 7 Liter NASCAR power AND bodywork to master this thing called aerodynamics.

Wait, didn't we just have an old-school BMW as our Weekend Wallpaper? We did, but after reader Christian Bouchez sent me this photo of his E30 Touring, I couldn't resist.

Aside from a few random sketches, we don't yet know what the neo-Enzo Ferrari F150 will look like yet. But artist Josiah LaColla has cooked up some renderings of his own, and they're pretty hot.

You know what's even better than a Ferrari? An old-school Ferrari, that's what. 

If you don't follow the news in Europe, you may not know that the Old World is embroiled in a scandal where a growing amount of beef has been found to contain horsemeat in it. Never ones to eschew clever and edgy advertising, Mini has something to say about it too, and it's great.

I've never liked Range Rovers, but not for their lack of capability, design, or build quailty. They have always been fantastic luxury off-roaders, ruined by their owners, whose first trip after leaving the dealership is to Platinum Motorsport, which immediately and without hesitation, ruins every single one. Can the…

I like my cars to be one of two things: Fast or interesting. Ideally, they should be both, but I'll settle for one or the other if I have to.

   Police sirens roar through a warm summer night in rural Joplin, Missouri.  Speeding after a 1936 hot rod, the first “Hemi” powered Joplin police car chases after a young man in a black ford.  Racing through the country roads, the man’s heart beats fast.  The cops gain ground on every straight, but the miscreant’s…

Getting tired of all the Tesla stories? I'm not. Getting away from the sideshow that is Elon Musk v. The NYT there's a much deeper truth about transportation and EVs buried in this story: driving a car from D.C. to Boston is a bad idea for most people. There's a much smarter, cheaper, and faster way to get from D.C. to …

Sad breaking news this morning from the opening round of the Scottish Rally Championship where a 50-year-old spectator was killed after a rally car flew off the road and crashed into her, according to news reports.

It's the mid-1990s. Alfa Romeo is clinging to life in the U.S. They need people to buy their 164 sedan instead of some dumb old Honda or Saab. How are they gonna do it? With the kind of music you hear when you're on hold with your health insurance company.
