I don't think any F1 fan can call Nascar tracks boring. F1 tracks are so sterilized, they have ruined once great tracks.

Back in 2001 I was on a year long driving tour of the US with the missus. We deliberately avoided interstates and cities and tried to stick to side roads and see the "real" America (whatever that might be).

Which is exactly why it would be a PITA to build it there. You are familiar with the phrase "not in my backyard"?

Black steelies from the factory!?

My dad had this photo for as long as I can remember. It appears to have been taken in Hawaii during Earhart’s first attempt to circle the world. At the time my father was the photographic officer and a seaplane pilot on the USS Minneapolis which was based in San Diego but easily could have put in at Pearl Harbor…

Dad?

If this is in Apple Valley, MN they're only 200 miles from me. Gotta love the smallish town attitude. I wish you could find this kind of kindness everywhere.

I'm also a parent with special needs children, 3 adopted daughters. Stuff like this matters.

My son has Autism and is also obsessed with cars and Hotwheels... our local Cars and Coffee here in Northern Virginia has been fantastic bonding for both of us to visit. Big enough to admit this story made me cry.

Stay classy Apple Ford Lincoln. I'm Ron Burgundy?

Most Jalopnik subscribers don't have the style or the panache to drive the chop-top Buick; I can honestly say that I'm not sure I do.

NASCAR is to motorsports, as what the WWE is to, well, anything. Scripted and comical. I don't know how many of us watch this illegitimate form of motor racing, but interesting and fun penalties wont make 499 of the 500 laps more interesting. NASCAR is just a group of moving advertising billboards, passing consumers…

The "very first Camaro" still exists:

"What's the donk like?"

My uncle had one in.....wait for it....brown.

This gets my vote. I wish I bought one when clean ones were going for $5k.

Jump forward 6 months: NEWSFLASH - The Hellers have completed their art project. Drawing on the fame of the Corvette Museum, they have dug a hole in the middle of the Bronx and dropped 36 Corvettes into it.

Years ago on the corner of 7th Avenue and Prospect in Park Slope there was a car wash and in the parking lot was the most derelict 1970 Dodge Challenger. It was almost unrecognizable because someone had bolted huge truck bumpers onto it. It was a rare one, an R/T with a sunroof and some kind of Landeau package 1/2…

Hopefully wherever they get to has been scoped out for sinkholes.
