It’s the weekend. What do you want, another Goodyear exposé? Read more

Funny how this rusty car blog led to me looking up weathered steel, which led to me looking up Atlanta’s Omni Coliseum (made out of weathered steel), which led to me finding a car blog about a man fixing up his rusty Dodge Omni (https://www.ifitjams.com/omni.htm) Read more

That’s why these are the only acceptable RVs ever made...

Once again for better or worse Japan has taken the graphics concept on ANYTHING to the EXTREME. 

This already is my favorite Jalopnik article of the year. As an owner of several early 2000s vehicles, I strongly believe in reduce, reuse, recycle.. and having older vehicles has been great to me for the ease of maintenance, availability of parts at the junkyard, and generally not giving a shit when they get damaged.

A C7.R in the flesh. Tucked away in a garage at an FSAE event at MIS. I don’t think they even took it out to show it off, just had it hidden. Not shown, a boogaloo ready Chevy Trax by GM. Was not worth taking a photo of lol.

Thanks for this. I just inadvertently tore up part of the window rubber de-icing my IS in the last Hudson Valley ice storm. (One of many.) I just need to move in. Read more

I was traveling for work in Utah a few years ago. Turns out a colleague of mine at our Utah location was good friends with Ardell Brown. Good enough friends that he called Ardell and told him we were coming over once he realized how much of an enthusiast I was. At one point in time Ardell owned more than 260 cars.
