Here’s a reminder that 40 years ago, Renault partnered with American Motors for joint distribution, design, and production in the U.S. market. How great would these two have been for a two-car garage setup when new? You could do anything and go anywhere. 

Sporty-looking European mopeds like this Spanish-built Derbi kick so much ass. I’m not sure if it’s because my 50CC Honda MB5 has been dormant for too long, or because I’ve been playing Hollywood Holt’s “Throw A Kit” on repeat for the last two years, but I have a strong desire for something with a tiny engine and ‘80s…

This car crossed my Instagram feed the other day and I didn’t think much of it. Oh, cool, I thought, another 2JZ swap. Whatever. Oh, but I was wrong. No JZs here. This is a 1FZ, a giant 4.5-liter iron-block truck motor that few Americans think about.

Buick Regal TourX are deeply discounted right now. Enough that you can pick one up for up to $10,000 off MSRP. TheManBearPigRoams offers up the challenge to all of the keyboard warriors who professed their desire to purchase one of these if it weren’t for some excuse or another.

Electrical systems. I hate them so much. They are among the only parts of my cars that I’m, frankly, incompetent at repairing. So when my 1995 Jeep XJ went from “Beater With a Heater” to, well, “Beater,” I bundled up instead of trying to mend the issue. Here’s what that’s been like so far.

Where the outgoing car was dinged for a harsh ride, tight interior, vague steering and diminishing appeal, the all-new 2019 BMW 3 Series has an overhauled suspension, is stretched longer and wider, features reworked steering and has boosted both power and torque.

Sometimes, you don’t have to tell jokes to be a comedian. Just take a look at the nearest Bugatti Veyron, which can’t even talk—its maintenance prices alone are enough to keep you laughing quite awhile, whether that be in total denial or in the realization that, yes, people do spend $42,000 to replace turbochargers.

We’re about a month away from the Detroit Auto Show, and that means two things: Everyone should gear up for tons of complaints from auto writers about the snow, and maybe we’ll see the new mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette? But that’s a hard no on the last one, friend. Sorry.

The BMW E30 M3 is great and all, but if you want a racy German touring car from that era that really wows the crowd, what you need is a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V Evo II. But it doesn’t just look good, it sounds absolutely incredible as well. And I don’t mean “it sounds good for a four-cylinder,” it sounds wild FULL…

Today I learned that motorists in the state of Maine are writing, to put it delicately, all kinds of fucked up shit on their license plates. Why? Who knows. How? Apparently state just waits for somebody to complain, in lieu of a screening system. Hilarity then ensues.

If you’re like me, you’ve been staring agape at the 2020 Chevy Silverado HD’s ominously vengeful face since last week. And you might’ve also noticed that the truck has five little lights on its roof. These lights serve a specific purpose: they’re a government-mandated mark of shame for vehicles that are so huge.

At least, it’s as good a time as any to sit down and see how the great world rally cars of the early 1990s drove on the rough forest roads of Rally GB. At least, it’s as good a time as any to hear them.
