My favorite thing about Monterey Car Week is you can just show up with no plans of going to any events and you’ll still see incredible cars driving around Monterey and Carmel. Not just any cars, either, but some of the best of the best. Stuff that looks like they’ve driven straight here from a bedroom poster.
A one-day sale on fast-charging Anker gear, our favorite HDTV bias lights, and an affordable wood pellet smoker lead off Friday’s best deals.
The best cars are the ones that get used. Driven. Hooned. Appreciated as the functional objects that they are. That’s why it’s impossible to look at Luis Millan’s well-loved turbo widebody 1990 Mazda Miata and not smile a little. This is how you do track cars right, and importantly, how to do it on a budget like a…
We’ve seen lots of spy shots and even videos of the mid-engine Corvette prototypes running around but almost all of them seem to point to the use of a dual-clutch transmission. While we don’t have any concrete, confirmed details on the powertrain yet, a new patent application from General Motors may show how a manual…

Several months back, word trickled out that Elio Motors’ latest plan to rescue its dream to bring a three-wheeled car to life involved raising funds from the creation of a digital “token” dubbed ElioCoin. Put aside any doubts if that sounds like a dubious proposal because, on Thursday, Elio announced the pre-sale (??)…
My parents bought a wood pellet grill (a Traeger, to be precise) a couple years ago, and holy crap it’s cool. You pour wood pellets (there a ton of different kinds) into the container on the left side of the grill, select the temperature you want with a digital dial, and the grill feeds the pellets into a heating…
Yet another executive leaves Tesla, missing Mazdas, burning Nissans, and the mystery of how Polestar plans to sell cars. This is The Morning Shift for Friday, September 21, 2018.
The sentient Volkswagen Derby gazed darkly out on the rolling hills of the Dutch countryside and wondered, why am I? And more importantly, who am I?
Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.
The seller of today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe 710 has had a dickens of a time keeping his ad up on Craigslist. It doesn’t seem to be his or the car’s fault. Maybe it’s the price? Let’s find out!
Whether you need new charging gear for your new iPhone, or want to play your Switch on a cross-country flight, Amazon’s one-day Anker sale has the goods.
Look, I love old car manuals. Hell, I just spent $6 for a manual for a 1978 Volvo 343, a car I’ve never even seen in person. But when I look at Bring a Trailer and see that a 1974 Porsche Carrera RSR manual sold for $6,000, I can’t help but feel that nothing makes sense anymore and if we’re not careful, all of the…
I played Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time this week, and I swiftly caused glorious chaos.
We’re all (well, me, and maybe Patrick) pretty excited about VW’s announcement of their new I.D. Buzz Cargo van concept, because it’s the most likely candidate to re-spawn the custom van craze of the 1970s. As you know, custom vans means airbrushed murals, so now’s the time to start planning yours.
Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of options, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers today.
I can’t believe nobody thought of this before. I cannot believe someone did not look at the precious Piaggio Ape and say, “you know what would make this delightful vehicle even better? Alcohol.” But The Roving Bar most definitely saw the potential, and now I am incredibly jealous.
Ah, finally. It seems like everywhere you turn these days, you’re stuck hearing about Tesla—but today, it was actually some pretty great news. The Tesla Model 3 has earned a five-star crash test rating, making them the only manufacturer to ace that test with every single car they’ve ever built.
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
Over the past few years, the drift scene in America has been changing. Underglow is back. Chrome is back. Flames and metalflake paintjobs glitter at little tracks across the country. After years of watching, we’re finally making a pilgrimage to the epicenter.
