Today's the final day of the second round of March Muscle Car Madness. Wednesday's outcomes were like that scene in A Clockwork Orange when the main character gets his ass kicked by a gang of old guys.

Yesterday was all about blowouts; none of the winners from yesterday got less than 70%! You folks were pretty decisive even if (in the case of the Rambler) sadly mistaken.

We're in the thick of March Muscle Car Madness now, with the secret Jalopnik underground muscle car proving ground a haze of thick exhaust and littered with the greasy parts of the losers. Yesterday had some great matches, and we've got more good ones today — the end is far from certain at this point, so get in there…

The first round of our March Muscle Car Madness is over, and we've got a good, strong parking lot-full of contenders for round two. These next battles look to be intense, and sure to get your muscle car loyalties tested; Let's see how this plays out with our first four second round match-ups.

There's smoke and the acrid smell of burning rubber everywhere. The ground is spattered with oil, and littered with tires, torn V-belts, piston rods, and what might be most of a horse. The first battles of our March Muscle Car Madness finished yesterday, but now we've got a whole new crop of muscle cars to vote on.…

Hopefully everyone's had enough time to scrutinize the bracket, done their research on the cars by renting, stealing or borrowing pristine examples and hooning them within an inch of their lives. Welcome to first round voting of March Muscle Car Madness as we begin head-to-head voting with the Zombie and Rod Rage…

I'm sure most of you know March Madness (not the breeding season for European Hares, the basketball one) officially begins tomorrow, and, of course, we at Jalopnik don't like car guys getting left out of anything, so here's our plan: We're going to do a March Madness tournament of our own.

Daniel O'Grady, an Australian into exploring old Japanese castles, happened upon this random sadness pile in Kurume City on Kyushu island. It's definitely a five-hanky lot of cars gone to seed, though rife with rusty-muscle-car porn.

Not only was this beautiful True Blue Metallic Hemi 'Cuda the top selling car at last week's Mecum Spring Classic car auction, it is believed to be the end of a muscle car era.

The last time a car laid twin stretches of flaming rubber, it wound up back in 1955, nine years before this burnout machine left the factory. Here in the modern day, what's next will be sweeeeet! [via smgriffo_25 and 0-60]

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Another visitor to Alameda's downtown makes it into Down On The Street.

Ever since we read Ate Up With Motor's history of the Ford Flathead V8, we've been totally hooked on AUWM's take on automotive history.

There are few people in this country who appreciate American hot rods more than the wonderfully inventive Johannes Rojola of Finland. A gallery of his detailed and creative builds of V8-powered 1970s muscle machines, and his philosophy, below.

Now before you all die from brain bubbles because one of the Greatest Symbols Of The American Way Of Life is a-gittin' blasphemed, take a deep breath and hear me out. Cool as the '64 Goat was, it poisoned GM.

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Here's an AMC that's beaten the odds and survives on the snowy Minnesota street!

You go to a car show featuring classic Detroit muscle, and you know who the stars will be: the same super-restored Boss 429 Mustangs, Hemi Super Bees, and GTO Judges you see every time.

78% of our readers say that $8,500 is too much for a 1991 Olds Quad 442, but what happens when we look at a no-joke classic machine from the Golden Age Of The Musclecar?
