    Perfection is a noble but historically unobtainable goal. That doesn’t mean however that we shouldn’t always strive to make the world—or at the very least our little slice of it—a better place. Many of us start small and work our way up, and a good place to do that is with our cars. You may…

    The description of this image from its source says “Car crushed by meat truck at 5060 W. Jefferson. Mrs. Bernice Little 4-5-60.” Those were certainly simpler times. Back then apparently an Oldsmobile 88 minding its own business could get crushed by a truck, thus providing a photo op of the car’s owner standing between the wreck and…

    Since it’s the start of the work week, we need something to lift our collective spirits, and I don’t think there’s a better way to do that than to gaze longingly at a classic compact wagon with sporting pretensions. This MKI Cortina Deluxe 1500 is all that and more, as it’s decked out in GT…

The Flyer is perhaps more notable however for the fact that it offers absolutely no other features…

    Happy birthday Gottlieb Daimler, born on this day in 1834. Geez, that would today make him… let’s see… dead. Let’s celebrate all the wonderful car things he did before he died by playing this week’s Mystery Car contest. Make and model in his honor if you please.

    Whether you’re presently in the dating pool, or can at the very least remember the last time you took a dip in it, do previous partners ever enter the picture if they have been someone of note?
