Somebody gets paid to design the carpeting in rooms like that. Asshole. Read more

As much as I was tempted to vote for Melba Toast (the Chevelle), I had to give it up for the Judge. That's one sexy goat. Plus, Two-Lane Blacktop is probably my favorite movie of all time. Read more
@Larry Forney: According to Wikipedia, Virginia State Route 33 is known as the "General Puller Highway". How's Richmond? Read more
That bit from the Freep about transmission fluid changes isn't really a fair treatment. High mileage automatics, those at 150k and above, often benefit from a transmission fluid filter change, which also requires adding some fluid or replacing it entirely depending on the transmission. However, a filter change is… Read more
@jonnylieberman: If something doesn't fly out of the bed of your truck on the freeway at least once a day, you're not using it right! At least you had the presence of mind to go for some bungee cords. I have, on more than one occasion, seen someone driving down the road with all passengers arms out the windows… Read more
In Soviet Russia, you escort police. Read more
Holy hell! By "Handling Pack" do they mean they're going to install the steering wheel in the center console so you can look out the passenger window when you're driving sideways? Read more
I love any 250, but it's hard to call the 250 GT a supercar when there was an actual Ferrari 250 supercar, the GTO, available from Ferrari at the same time Steve bought this one. Read more

The C06/Z06 are cars that definitely "missed it". They're absolutely fantastic until you climb inside. One look at the interior and you think "$60k for this interior? No thanks." It's a huge let down. Might as well buy an M3 or RS4 rather than a Z06. Read more
The OG Carrera Panamericana, Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, and any open road endurance race. Even the current Panamericana race, a pale shadow of the original event, gets me all hot and bothered like Cinderella. Or maybe that's just Rachel Larratt. Read more
Sounds like big trouble. You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special messages. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of L.A. for at least 48 hours. Read more
There is something to be said for driving old cars with "quirks". I learned my heel-toe technique driving a '74 Beetle that would vapor lock and potentially die if you took your foot out of the throttle suddenly as you put the clutch in, so rather than fix the carburetion problem, for a while I just learned to keep… Read more
Who says you have to take the engine and transmission out of the front? Why not just leave 'em as-is. Start up the Cadillac drivetrain for maximum hoonage or switch on the original Vdub drivetrain for maximum economy. Or you know, run both Hairy Olds style. Hell, rig up the steering from the Cadillac front end on… Read more
Me no make sangwich. Jalopnik make sangwich for improved cotomer sevis? Read more
I'm a sometimes mechanic and my automotive nemeses come more often than not from the garage than the highway. The 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis specifically and by extension all 80s and 90s V8-powered Ford products are first against the wall. These massive piles of shit have the world's least reliable and most… Read more
Cars are meant to be driven, and if this in the Fantasy Garage it's going to collect dust in the corner because driving this thing makes you look about as cool as an IROC Camaro. Unless the Fantasy Garage is located in New Jersey, this car is right out. I voted a big, enthusiastic NO and your girlfriend, assuming… Read more
Oh how I wish I had been near a computer when this party started instead of elbow deep in a Honda C32A. If someone in your family wants to buy a Honda/Acura with a V6, run screaming the other direction. Read more
