Fiat 124s are not fussy. And some of them came with the stellar Lampredi DOHC, making them little demons.

It’s the same in South Korea as well. I love countries where the entire culture is based on the honor system. If you lie/cheat/steal, you’re dishonoring yourself and everyone associated with you.

This isn’t an MGB. What makes these old British heaps special is the grunty, wheezy, trying-so-hard 5-port agricultural engines they came with.

The most senior ad exec spotted a couple pushing a stroller with a young child in it. They were the quintessential young white family - clearly representative of the target demographic. He…

For a car give-away program we did at an agency for an Major Auto Company, the Decision Makers selected the winner before the end of the contest based on a number of factors that made the company look good in the public eye. I was naively appalled and though I was a senior member of the team stood by dumbfounded -…

Just remembered one! In 1964, Honda entered F1, only a year after their first road cars went on sale. They decided to do it with a transverse mounted 1.5 Liter V12, when everyone else was using V8s.
