The only engine bay that asks "Where is your God now?"
There’s little question that the third most incredible car ever built is the Citroen DS. First appearing on the motive scene in 1955, the Goddess with it’s inboard-hydraulic brakes, oleopneumatic suspension set up and bolt-on body panels attached to a unibody frame, is still ahead of its time. Not a believer? There’s the final all important measurement metric employed by all serious doctors of automotive journalism: Just look at it! As you can see, DS = hella sweet.

I'm unsure if this is one of the trucks, or just a stock photo. Either way, I'll take it!
In what may be one of the strangest promotions we’ve ever seen, this one comes from a company named “ArmaLite” which apparently sells the… you know, ammo-stuff for those gun-things that Americans seem so fixated on.

Yesterday we asked you whether you anthropomorphized your ride, and if so, what was its personality. Today we’re pulling a 180 and want you to objectify that certain someone in your life – and to tell us what kind of car they’d be.

Today we conclude our interview series with Michael Paul Smith; previously, we discussed his background in scale modeling and then some of his techniques and inspiration. But I know there’s a small (at least I hope it’s small) number of you who yet might dare indignance: “Yeah yeah, them’s there models is real cute and all, but this is a blog about cars!” Well shut yer yaps because here it comes, straight from the man himself: You want cars? You wanna know why and how and if your own favorites have ever been granted the pass to miniaturized photo-art immortality?

While the rest of the world subsists on a steady diet of cars like the BMW M5 Touring, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate and the Audi RS6 Avant, we’ve been force fed duds like the Ford Taurus Wagon and the Saturn SW. No, life isn’t fair, and as a result, the American population at large simply doesn’t have the vocabulary for a smartly-styled long-roof that’s a pleasure to drive.

The 1997 Thunderbird LX. Beige is never a best color for any car, but it's criminal with this one.
What late-model (less than 15 years old), V8-powered four-seater with an independent rear suspension can you often buy for less than $3,000? If you answered the 1991 to 1997 Ford Thunderbird, pat yourself on the back. You guessed right. And if you knew this, you probably bleed Ford Blue Oval Blue.
