Could this be an attempt to get him “back in the groove” to be one of the drivers for the Hendrick Motorsports’ “Garage 56" entry at Le Mans?

Andy Thompson’s “Cars of the Soviet Union”, “Trucks of the Soviet Union” and “Cars of Eastern Europe”, which, ironically for this reply, WERE actually published by Haynes :P

If Dodge didn’t want their cars to get stolen, they shouldn’t dress them up so provocatively.

If he can never race competitively again, I at least hope he can recover and do color commentary. He’s been surprisingly enjoyable in that role in the few Truck Series races he’s commentated.

I’m borderline obsessed with the R30 Skyline... I’ve got way too many Tomica releases of them. Original black box releases in many different colors, the ultra-rare “Super Gift” release, Limited Vintage Neos... not to mention all of the Silhouette releases from across the decades, including one on pre-order.

One of the…

“I especially loved the oddball yet very realistic stuff they had as opposed to the mostly cartoony Hot Wheels stuff.”

This is the #1 reason I collect them. I love that they do releases of everyday JDM sedans, trucks and vans. With only a few exceptions, their castings are incredibly accurate. Scaling is a bit wonky,…

Wait... an article about Tomicas on Jalopnik?! *squeee*

During the pandemic, I started collecting them like crazy... everything from the earliest black box and blue box “foreign” releases, up through the newest Premium Unlimiteds. I’ve even managed to acquire some oddball rarities like some loose cars from the…

In case anyone’s curious, the IATA code reference’s Orlando’s original name, McCoy Air Force Base. Was partially repurposed for civilian operations in the ‘40s, then became 100% civilian in 1975 when all military operations at the field ceased.

Dexter’s Lab did a wondrous send-up of Speed Racer.

Hmmm... interesting notion. Only thing that would give me heartburn is being a car with British reliability and German repair costs. Speaking as a BMW owner... OUCH.

I’m planning on holding on to my current vehicles for quite a while. I’m just holding out hope that something will be available like what I want in, maybe, 5 or 10 years.

I have no plans at the moment to replace either of my cars, but if the time ever comes, I’ve got some requirements.

- Small, no wider than 69" (I have a small garage, and the car will have to fit next to a motorcycle)

I had several. In one day.

Virgil Exner incorporated the exhaust outlets into the design of the ‘57 DeSoto’s tailfins.

Sonoda Ken’ichi, author of Gunsmith Cats, is both a gearhead and firearms geek. Gunsmith Cats has incredible levels of detail in both its cars AND guns (and Chicago, where’s it’s set)

There are a number of mangaka that are absolute gearheads.

Are similar interiors supposed to be a problem?

My dad bought a BMW 1-Series convertible to replace his older VW Cabrio. It was his first BMW car (though he had had a BMW motorcycle in the ‘70s) and he absolutely loved the interior. So much so, when he was looking for a new “family” style car, he test drove an X1,…

‘Ole Musky has set his own path. We know where this is heading.

He can’t even lift his feet more than a few inches off the ground. He’s got some seriously messed-up posture/balance issues.
