Andrew Collins and David Tracy are winding their way north from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and they’re borrowing David Hasselhoff’s ride from the television show Knight Rider, KITT. They’re on their way to Radwood NorCal, but they’re taking the scenic route and will be stopping for a few choice photo ops and live…
Tomorrow we’re going back in time again when we visit Radwood NorCal, the perfect celebration of ‘80s and ‘90s automotive enthusiast lifestyle. This is the biggest Radwood yet, and the great news is that there is still plenty of room for you to bring your car and join in the fun! Even if you don’t have an ‘80s or ‘90s…
Following the recent success of other period-themed automotive exhibitions, notably the 1980s and ’90s car show Radwood, I’ve decided to launch Litwood, a car show celebrating the car culture of the 2000s and 2010s. I am calling dibs on this now. Please prepare accordingly.
Radwood, the ultimate celebration of 1980s and ’90s automotive nostalgia, is on this weekend in San Francisco. And we’re driving up from LA in something that’s as rad as cars come–a Pontiac Firebird. But not just any Firebird. This, friends, is a Knight Industries 2000.
With a competitive spirit that could shame most Olympians, you lovely Jalops submitted dozens of rad rides to our reader contest for this Sunday’s Radwood car show. It was a tough contest. The cars were very good! But in the end only three can be champions, and here they are.
We’re heading to Radwood, the fantastic 80s and 90s-themed car show in San Francisco, later this week. We want you rad readers to bring your rad rides, so we’re holding a rad contest to see which rad ride is raddest. Follow?
Reminder! If you want to go to Radwood San Francisco next weekend, Sunday June 24, you should enter our Jalopnik Reader Contest! But it closes tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET. Get your entries in!
Most things are terrible, but Radwood—the grassroots car show that celebrates the rides of the 1980s and 1990s—is good. It’s back at the end of this month in the San Francisco Bay Area. Once again Jalopnik is getting involved with the show, and we want you to get involved too! Update: It’s past the 2 p.m. ET deadline,…
UK-based classic car sellers Fast Classics have brought to market this one-of-one 1988 Mercedes 190 built by Brabus. Their asking price? £132,000. Now, if you can pick yourself up off the floor after seeing that stratospheric price, take a look at the listing for the full explanation of what exactly makes it worth so…
It feels like Radwood, the car show that gloriously celebrates the angular, analog and awesome cars of the 1980s and ‘90s, has been a part of our collective modern car culture forever. But it hasn’t! The show’s only a year old. Now, after making a huge, neon splash in 2017, the show is coming home at the end of this…
I’m not sure who would consider a second-gen Dodge Dakota pickup a classic, but I’m glad somebody did because it’s really cool to see that one has survived two decades in unbelievably pristine condition.
People seem to understand that the 1999 (and 2000) Honda Civic Si is special. In the rare instance that a clean one pops up for sale, these 20-year-old economy cars can sell for close to the cost of a 2017 Honda Civic Si. We drove the nicest ’99 Si left on Earth to find out if it’s really worth the hype.
For years, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that there really ought to be an annual automotive convention in the same vein as San Diego Comic Con. Like comic enthusiasts, car folks come from all walks of life, have widely varied tastes and like to wear their automotive love on their sleeve. I can stop telling…
Ethan Tufts, the host of the Hello Road video series on YouTube is an extremely rad guy. He has built his video channel around his exploits with obscure 80s cars that most people have forgotten, including the late-1980s NUMMI-built Chevrolet Nova Twin-Cam that is the focus of this episode. He drove that Nova from the…
The esoteric Italian wheel company Antera opened its doors in 1991, and set the aftermarket wheel world on fire with a slew of funky new-age designs. While most other companies were sticking with the tried and true, Antera’s goal was to create a shake up, and they sure did. With very of-the-era rounded spokes and…
The 1993 BMW 850ci you see here would have cost about $85,000 when it was new, almost $150,000 in today’s money. If you do want one today, it took me nine seconds to find a decent-looking example on Craigslist for under nine grand. There’s depreciation, and then there’s whatever that is.
Mazda has one of the most esoteric collections of cars in the basement of their Southern California facility, and they’re looking to expand that collection with perhaps the strangest car they’ve ever produced: The Mazda Millenia S. With a supercharged Miller-cycle 2.3-liter V6 engine, this large front-wheel-drive…
Radwood is the place to be if you love 1980s and 1990s cars, and if you want to take a car there, you’ve got a wealth of options. Here’s why so many fans of that era love the Mazda RX-7, starting with an absolutely pristine one.
If you missed the celebration of 1980s and ’90s cars and coolness known as Radwood 2, don’t worry: You can travel back in time with us right now and become one with nostalgic radness in gloriously grainy period correct video!
