Before many collector vehicles were collector vehicles, they were just used cars. Besides obviously rare and exotic cars chances are there was a time when someone thought the collector car of your dreams was just a cheap old car.

After a 15-year absence patrolling U.S. streets, an all-new law-enforcement-only Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) joins GM's fleet in 2011. Although it's built on the same rear-wheel-drive Camaro and dearly-departed Pontiac G8-spawning Zeta platform, it's not a G8 sedan. More »

Attempting to prove once and for all driving cross-country quickly doesn’t require a trust fund, an ego or a BMW M5, Top Gear magazine set out this weekend to drive from New York to San Francisco — 2904 miles — on just $2904. And yes, that does include the car. More used to spending the spoils of British TV License fee payers on Dodge Challenger SRT8s, the Beeb had to enlist a little expertise in making big things happen on a small budget; Jalopnik’s own Ben Wojdyla. He’s live-blogging the drive for them from the back seat of the ’94 Caprice over on TopGear.com as we speak. [The tag page for "2904" doesn't appear to work, so just head over to the US blog: Top Gear US Blog] More »

Is he or she tuned into some set of holidays the rest of us don't get to experience? Thanks to Zweirad for the tip! [Craigslist Raleigh (go here if the ad disappears)] More »
