Nicely executed, but I still think these are the best wall murals ever.

"This is the last factory in Detroit building complete cars, which is sad. "
Why is Gawker calling this native Hawaiian, a person of color, a racist? Didn't you learn in college that only those with power to oppress others can be racist? Also, how dare you apply your Eurocentric white values to native cultures? It's up to the Hawaiians to determine the meaning of "haole" and whether or not it…
Jay is enough of an automotive historian to know that the Miata was styled after the Lotus, which his probably why he has them sitting next to each other. That white Elan is one of two that Leno owns. You should hear him talk about his other Elan, the 26R factory lightweight that he restomodded.
I hear that Ayrton Senna guy was pretty good behind the wheel.
I've always liked the tulip shaped shifter knobs used on early Lotus cars.
John Dingell and his wife Debbie are both charter members of the lucky sperm club. He inherited his father's seat in Congress (John Dingell has lived in Washington for over 80 years, since he was three years old) and she's an heiress to the Fisher Body fortune. In 2011 at the media preview to the Detroit auto show, I…
Tanner Foust isn't working for Ford anymore either. He'll be racing VWs in Global RallyCross. Good thing that Volkswagen doesn't have any controversy in it's history or someone could have made that into a story too.
2002 Lincoln Blackwood pickup truck. On sale in the U.S. for just one year (it continued on in the Mexican market for '03). That's like a sitcom that's canceled after only one episode. A total of only 3,356 Blackwoods were produced. You might still be able to find a new one sitting on some dealer's back lot. Ford…

It works better as a lyric than in reality:

The Auburn Cord Duesenberg museum should be visited by anyone who says they like cars. The Cord E-1 prototype is just one of the many, many magnificent cars (and not just from the ACD brands) and the building, the former HQ and factory showroom for E.L. Cord's car companies is one of the finest Art Deco structures you…
While those are all worthy museums to visit it seems to me that the list is kind of light on museums that feature American cars. The Gilmore near Kalamazoo and the Auburn Cord Duesenberg museum in Auburn both belong on this list. Also, you can probably see both museums in one day, though it's best to take a couple…
It's good to see Denise McCluggage make the list. She's a fine writer and photographer in addition to her skill as a driver and competitive skier. She's the definition of class and has been personally gracious to me. Be sure to check out her web site: http://www.denisemccluggage.com/
This is almost funny. If you hang around racers and people in the racing community you'll find out that they can be brutally honest about who has talent and who doesn't. I once asked Robin Miller if there are any tall race drivers besides Michael Waltrip and Miller said "I though you said we were talking about race…
For the price of an i8 (admittedly a fine looking and technologically advanced automobile), you can buy an ELR and a CTS-V wagon.
Alex Taub, who designed the Chevrolet "Stovebolt" Six, deserves at least an honorable mention. That engine and its variants were in production from the 1920s until the 1990s. Prior to and during World War II, Taub, who was born in the UK, worked at GM's Bedford truck subsidiary, where he designed the "Bedford…
Too bad the Ghibli doesn't look so great in person. The front end looks pinched and the rear end looks kind of generic.
Regarding my friend Mr. Baruth, I don't necessarily agree with him that the new Z06 is less hardcore. Regarding the comments here, though, I guess that some self-deprecation is too subtle for some people.
