Folks, it is time again to remind you that every time is Van Time. 

Inspired by a recent post over on The Concourse, which was itself inspired by a very good tweet concerning personal injury stories, I got to thinking about the dumbest things I’ve done to damage my car. A car is a little bit like a small-scale mech suit that we slip on to provide humans with the power of high speed…

This first-year Ford Bronco has lived a good long life full of dents, scratches, and maintenance. It served its time, it earned its scars, and it remained intact many years after many of its kin went extinct. And now, thanks to Icon 4x4, the early Bronco is going to live a second life as one of Jonathan Ward’s weird…

“The salt is good this year.” Seems like the kind of small talk you’d hear as expository in a sci-fi film, which is exacerbated by the fact that I’m standing on what looks like the face of an alien planet. Bonneville is its own small world, a microcosm of hot rods, motorcycles and burning nitromethane. For one week…

The Whelen Engineering Action Express Racing Chevrolet Corvette Coyote Daytona Prototype was racing, and winning, in IMSA’s top tier Prototype class just two years ago. In fact, it took drivers Dane Cameron and Eric Curran to the series driver’s championship in 2016.

Some cars have been sold with a large metal shifting stick in the center console and a third foot lever intended to decouple engine power from the drivetrain. Very few people in the U.S. automotive buying market ever figured out what these strange pieces were intended for, and as a result never bought them.

The idea was revolutionary, simple in concept but more difficult in execution: build a road spanning across the entire American nations. From Canada to the very tip of South America, a stretch asphalt would be ribboned across two continents to unite them in one cohesive whole. And, just like any good road, people…

Rallies are not places for stopped cars. Rallies are for speed. Rallies are not the place you’d expect a farmer to protest the fact that cars are going too fast around him, but that’s exactly what went down at Rallye Deutschland earlier on Saturday.

People have been crashing cars for as long as cars have been around. There are plenty of different ‘firsts’ when it comes to car accidents that it can get a little confusing if you try to figure out who the first reckless driver was. We here at Jalopnik recognize the importance of getting the facts straight. That’s…

Oh, IndyCar. Our sweet disaster series. The disaster series for which Santino Ferrucci, who was suspended from and then cut by his Formula 2 team for intentionally wrecking his teammate post-race and texting behind the wheel, is going to be racing this season.

I have a confession to make. This week, someone asked me what my favorite car was. And I lied.
