I always thought that in the future we would have flying cars. We live in 2020, which is decidedly the future, and we don’t really want flying cars. What we want are cars that fly.

A brief moment of appreciation for Maserati.

Out on the open road having the time of my life riding my BMW S 1000 XR with a bunch of friends. They’re all just out of frame, riding too.

Sir MixALot couldn’t quite get his Turbo ‘Vette in 1986, but he could definitely get a Turbo Sprint, and that’s just as good. Rev up your one-liter inline-three cylinder and dump the clutch, we’re chirping front tires into the weekend, folks.

No matter what your team boss tells you, Verstappen, the shortcut through the trackside fencing isn’t a good idea. Besides, now all of the sheep will get out of their pasture. No es bueno, Max.

Please, Nondescript Race Car Museum—I’ll be gentle with the Tyrrell. I don’t even want to drive it! I just want to settle in and sip champagne behind the wheel like François Cevert in 1972. I’m not asking too much, honestly. I even brought my own bottle!

The forward observation lounge on the Shiki-Shima train from the East Japan Railway Company features not just windows and chairs, but hand-woven carpets meant to resemble moss. “Enjoy the amazing textures,” JR-East says.

Pictured: Me on my way to Radwood Austin this weekend. In this bad boy I can cover 2520 miles in 24 hours, so I’m bound to make great time.

Cupra—Volkswagen AG’s performance-oriented SEAT sub-brand—unveiled its new Leon lineup Thursday, including the gorgeous Sportstourer (wagon) model shown here. This delightful long roof features all-wheel drive, and a 306 hp/295 lb-ft version of VAG’s ubiquitous 2.0-liter TSI inline four mated to the equally…

Folks, here it is. If you’re looking to make a good and interesting livery for your Formula One car using just the colors black, white, and red, here is how you do it. Haas didn’t get creative enough with its black/white/red shapes and I called it a boring ass livery because of it. Alpha Tauri (née Scuderia Toro…

I despise traditional hot rods. I just do! It’s my Bad Car Opinion, I’m entitled to one, since yours (yes, YOURS) are all terrible. But one “hot” “rod” that I unabashedly love is the Volvo Hot Rod Jakob, based on an original Volvo ÖV4 from the 1920s. It’s different and interesting and such a lovely shade of blue.

“Why does UPS ground shipping cost $500,000 now?”

I guess I’m one of the idiots who thinks the original McLaren MP4-12C looked good when it came out. And I still think it looks wonderful, with its disguised taillights and low-key shape.

Mazda has informed the world that it is celebrating its 100th birthday today. I hope I look half this good when I’m 100.

The Monte is on! Shakedown was yesterday and the first special stages begin today and conclude on Sunday. Here we see Evans getting very loose in his Yaris. Good shit.

I’ve sent a Telex off to the folks in Weissach to secure my allocation for a Porsche-propelled airplane engine to slot into the nose cone of my experimental craft. Sure, I could have gone with a Rolls-Royce, but I need some proper aircooled flat-six exhaust notes when I’m soaring high above all of you plebs.

Mazda is really taking this “new year, new me” thing seriously.

The Aston Martin Twenty Twenty concept was Aston, Italdesign, and 2001's idea of what a car in 2020 would look like. Aston’s design language is still strikingly similar 19 years later, but the wheels look a lot better now.
