Oh man, and I sure as fuck hope the statute of limitations has run of for this one but here goes... (j/k on that since it was actually the police who made the mistake...)

Freeman Motors here in Portland had one about a year ago in red. It was gone before I had the chance to go see it in person, which I desperately wanted to do. Only other crazy-ass "seen in the wild" car I've spotted was a Maserati MC-12 in Beverly Hills sporting Oregon plates. It was classic Maser blue & white racing…

To all aspiring auto journalists out there: The most crucial skill you'll need to do this job is the ability to collect free swag from car companies. That includes free trips, shrimp, booze, and of course, gifts you can't possibly afford yourself.

On Monday, which happened to be his mom's birthday, he finally got to deliver on that. Bridgewater and his mom attended a luncheon with ABC's Robin Roberts in Manhattan, and at the end of it, he presented her with her dream car. (Update: The car was provided by Cadillac.

Waiting for this to become the "Amy's Baking Company" of the auto world.

Great perspective! I do think that traffic will become much less congested simply by the fact that the computers driving will all but do away with stop and go traffic which will greatly improve the number of vehicles that can share the road at a given time, even just the shorter following distances will mean 2-3x more…

Still, there were opportunities to enjoy my drive to work. In a past life I commuted over the Altamont hills, some of the most underrated roads in Northern California. But informed worker-bees knew about my cherished stretches of tarmac, which meant being stuck behind a Camry dawdling along at 35 mph while apexes sat…

Are you not familiar with Rezvani? Well, according to several emails we've gotten recently, you desperately want to be. And, actually, the car, the Rezvani Beast, seems pretty fun — it's essentially an Ariel Atom with an aggressive, sleek carbon-fiber body designed by Samir Sadikhov, who designed the Aston Martin DBC…

A car likes this one has one huge advantage over almost any other sort of land-transport — it gets you in anywhere. We stopped in the middle of Beverly Hills to shoot a photo next to a Veyron, we drove through the Beverly Hills Hotel to waste their valet's time and get some more pictures, and, most importantly, we…

Usually, the explanation for the exposed chauffeur's compartment is that the body designs were based on traditions set in the horse-and-carriage era, when the driver would be outside as a necessity of dealing with reins and horses and all those particulars of living-meat-based locomotion. When the automobile became…

+1 on the Viking Blod, my fav so far. We are lucky enough to have a beekeeping supply shop nearby that also sells Mead. (Did you guess I live in Portland yet?)

My Driver's Ed car was one of these with the "oh shit" extra brake pedal on the passenger side. A few months after completing the course ("Best parallel parker" thank you very much) I saw the car for sale at the local dealership, pedal still intact. I asked my mom if I could buy it as my first car, then quickly…

How many goddamned Baldwins are there??? Also, in conveniently timed news, Lotus replaced Danny Behar with New CEO

Ryan, is that you? This is funny to me because my fav plane is the A-10 since we used to see them doing training flights in pairs over our little valley in Indiana as a kid, I loved the sound of that Speeder Bike engine as they appeared out of nowhere and dipped back down below the tree level. My buddy Ryan is…

Same here, they have screwed with us countless times, charged us for a "courtesy" call to fix something they screwed up on, conveniently lost ALL of our notes on previous complaints, and then sent an installer to hook up cable when we needed a new modem, since the original one was on a known defective list (check your…

You know, I drove a Dodge Avenger for a year because it was given to me for free, and it was basically the same car as the Sebring so why does it not get the same hate? My guess is simply that it looked so much better, sort of a baby Viper of the era (in looks only) but once it got some age on it the thing literally…

I will confirm the entirely true stereotype of lesbians owning Subaru, especially the Forrester, here in Portland but most of the gay men tend to drive Audis. I am speaking about those I know, friends of friends, etc. so all first degree knowledge.

Stirling Moss, is, of course, a good candidate, with his inane comments about how "a lady" lacks the "aptitude" to compete in a Formula 1 race, but I'm sure there's plenty more. Think about what John DeLorean must have said about how fantastic a cocaine sideline would be, or maybe the guy in Pontaic's design studio in…

The worst episode I saw was the "Seinfeld reunion" with George and Newman. It was so awkward and creeped me out, like we were watching rehearsals. Joel Hodgson is my fav so far by a long shot. Kevin Hart would be fun if he can rein in his need to always talk about how rich and famous he is. Someone else said Dave…

Exactly what came to my mind too!
