I was about to laugh, but then I realized just how terrifying that looks. That thing is scary enough that if it were ever released onto public roads it would cause so many double-takes and terrified screams that the number of vehicle accidents in a day would be tripled overnight.

One of the often-underappreciated qualities of rotaries is the fact that animations of them are oddly satisfying to watch. Simply mesmerizing...

One time in my autobody class, someone pulled into the shop in a Mini Cooper S and just as I was about to compliment it, one of the wannabe gangsta kids walked up and said “MINIS ARE GAY I COULD BEAT THAT IN A RACE WITH MY TRUCK MY TRUCK HAS 400 WHEEL HORSEPOWER!!!!”. I told him that if the race had any corners, the M…

I’ve never caught air in my car, but I have heard a story of catching air in a car that’s pretty good so I’ll retell it here. I heard this story from a guy who used to be a driving instructor. I met this guy at the DMV while waiting in a line that was moving slower than molasses, and talking to other people in line…

“The road version of the car will weigh more and sit a little higher off of the ground” This conversion will be popular, since current trends seem to suggest that most people love vehicles that weigh more and ride higher off of the ground.

Holy cow, that picture looks like it was taken on another planet. I wanna try that with some ‘50s concept cars.

Anyone else notice that the rear end looks like it’s groaning and the front end looks like it’s screaming in pain and misery? It’s almost as if they styled it to look how it would look if it knew who would inevitably buy it and stuff it in a garage.

That simple sentence changed my mind. That is, assuming the compact economy crossovers will be capable of off-roading, which they probably won’t.

What I mean is that ICEs are a fundamental part of a classic car’s personality. Sure, electric motors are powerful and fast and all, and you could argue that in the spirit of hot-rodding, electric motors are no different than, say, an LS v8, but electric motors just don’t have nearly as much personality as an ICE, and…

Dang right. I think the only reason why people buy crossovers is because they think they’re cooler than minivans, but in reality a minivan can do everything better than a crossover.

I recently watched the movie Geostorm. For the most part the movie was fine, but I was disgusted to find that not only did no one in the movie actually drive a Geo Storm, but the main character was in the process of converting a 67 Camaro to use electric motors tacky sci-fi props. I can accept that the future means…

Four-door shaming, seriously? That’s right up there with manual elitism as one of the worst car-guy behaviors out there. Sure, four-doors don’t look as good as two-doors sometimes, but they don’t look bad and since they cost a lot less, are often a good cheap way to get into classic car ownership.

I have the correct answer: 1946-62 Jeep wagon. It looks cool and islandy and will hold beach stuff and will go off road and speed won’t be a problem because Hawaii. It’s a perfect vehicle if you want something fun and don’t need to depend on it 100% of the time.

There’s a company that sells boxes for fake products that are somehow both too stupid to possibly exist and strangely believable. The idea is that you put something in the box and give it to someone as a gift and try to convince them that they actually got the stupid thing on the box. One of the boxes they sell is for…

All good suggestions, but my personal favorite car that can be imported in 2019 is the ‘94 Daihatsu Midget. Everything about it is simply awesome.

Not that short and narrow. We aren’t lucky enough to get Kei cars. We will get caricatures of SUVs that suck off road and don’t hold as much as a minivan and don’t handle as well as a hatchback or wagon. People will buy them for the same reason they buy crossovers, which is that they ride high and aren’t minivans.

I will buy new tires for my 66 Thunderbird. The tires I currently have are 40somethingish years old and have smudges of paint from the time a previous owner had the car repainted by a moron who did more harm than good. These tires are the reason why I am terrified of driving faster than 45 mph and I will be glad to…

I used to collect vintage car ads and I have a LOT of Checker ads from issues of National Geographic. I didn’t know that was one of the only places if not the only place they advertised. Also, your Merlin v12 checker idea is going to capture my imagination for the rest of the afternoon.

The economy crossovers are coming. We will soon see short, narrow, tall CUVs roaming the streets pretending they are cooler than minivans and station wagons and the only thing we can do about it is curl up in a ball in the corner and rock back and forth and cry deeply.

SAVE THE ROTARIES ALL LS SWAPPED RX7S MUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, the automotive sector of my brain got a false positive from a particular buzzword.
