After Dr. Wankel’s first Lemons race, at Barber Motorsports Park this past winter, most of our team convoyed through sub-zero temperatures up to Illinois—the race car’s new home.

It was almost exactly a year ago that a Ford dealership in west Georgia broke the internet with a simple but fun tribute to one of the most iconic sport trucks ever made. It started out as a manager’s passion project but ended up becoming bigger than they thought possible, and it practically happened overnight.…

The Dodge Charger Daytona 392: A perfectly simple, silly machine
/
/
comments
How can you not love this simple, silly machine? It’s a pretty basic recipe, but one that I truly enjoy. Take a large V8 engine and have it send power to the rear. Add in room for friends, tremendous noise, comfortable seats, and you have a modern muscle car. That is the Dodge Charger Daytona…

Driving a car is wildly abstract, analogue process. As much as we enjoy it, there’s so much going on that the individual sensations served up can be hard to pin down.
