Down On The Street
1968 Mercedes-Benz 230
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. We saw a pretty nice 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL about a month ago, so I figure it's time for another '68 Benz. This time, though, we'll be looking at a solid-citizen sedan instead of a rakish roadster, with this 230 I found parked pretty close to the Evil '77 Camaro.

NISMO 370Z S-Tune: An Angry Catfish
Here's eight new photos of the NISMO 370Z S-Tune package for the JDM version of the 2009 Nissan 370Z to add to those leaked scans we showed you last month. What they show is the design team at Nissan's in-house tuning shop's taking some serious risks with this angry-looking catfish. But rejoice, the 370Z S-Tune isn’t all show.

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo For $66,991?
Sometimes a car's asking price makes sense… and sometimes there's Booth Number Two. Yesterday, 82% of you opted for the latter choice for the $325,000 Porsche 914. Today we get to contemplate the definition of "classic." Is a 14-year-old Toyota a classic, worth paying a huge premium for a pristine, low-miles example? This '94 Supra Turbo has just 8,857 miles on the clock, and it looks really, really clean. But $66,991? And why the odd price? Why not a car-dealer standard $66,999, or a no-nonsense $67,000? What do you think?

Top Gear
Top Gear Pits BMW M3 Vs. Lexus IS-F, We Translate Stig's Morse Code
If you had a chance to see last night's episode of Top Gear you'd have seen the four-door BMW M3 take to the track against the Lexus IS-F. You'd also see Stig take the IS-F for a power lap, again while listening to the sounds of Morse code. The inability to understand what Stiggie was saying / hearing due to all those dots and dashes was buggin' us, so we enlisted the help of one of America's preeminent practitioners of the code of dits and dahs — who also happens to be an avid Jalopnik reader (although he likes bikes more than cars for some reason. Jeesh, hasn't he heard the old maxim about "two wheels bad, four wheels good?" Whatever, we won't hold it against him). He's helpfully translated the two short bursts of circles and lines. Hit the jump for the full video as well as the translation. More »
