Yesterday, Name That Part was solved in minutes. Clearly, we've been too easy on you. Now, granted, p161911 (who I'm firmly convinced is either Borg or a Droid, with such a lovely alphanumeric name) did solve it by finding the site I used, which I personally think is blatantly cheating ...

745i, that's a 4.5L V8, right? Wrong! The 745i was arguably BMW's most egregious departure from the [Series][Engine Size] nomenclature (at least until the current "Xdrive35i" or whatever they're doing). You see, BMW decided that the turbocharged 3.2L I-6 had comparable power output to a 4.5L naturally aspirated engine ...

I've been saying for a while now that Canada has a whole hell of a lot of car nuts. Heck, one of the Canadian institutions, Canadian Tire, started out as just another tire and auto-parts shop, and it's now a huge mega-retailer, rivalling WalMart, but without all the uber-cheap Made-In-China ...

We were about to post another Lieberman-tipped link to a mint-condition '73 Dodge wagon on Hemmings. Then we saw the next post on Hemmings' blog and our head exploded. The lead shot is awesome, but when you click through to see what's up with that thing in the bed ...

Back before car blogs, before Al Gore invented the Internet in fact, the primary source of car information was in print. And where you find automotive articles, you'll also find auto ads. Auto makers still splash their wares across the pages of Road & Track, Car and Driver and the ...

This is my garage. These are my cars- Thing One and Thing Two. Actually, that's mean. I'd like you to meet my 1961 Austin Healey Sprite and 1975 Jensen Healey, or as the missus calls them, the money pits. Old cars are like black holes- they ravenously suck up all ...

If  this Craigslister had spent half the time they did dropping <br> tags in their ad on their pictures, we wouldn't have to call them out for public mockery. Why my senior prom? Seemed promising at the outlook, but after what seemed like forever of waiting...a total letdown ...

Yesterday, Graverobber took over the reigns for Name That Part, and brought us a lever-arm shock absorber from a '72 MG. That was nice of him. Congratulations to Armand4 for nailing it, and identifying the part so quickly and efficiently. On the other hand, Mr. Robber also brought us a ...

Press play. Just do it. You'll be treated to what looks like a mash-up of Transformers and Spiderman, but good. And in Russian, with a Volga. Then you'll want to go here. A tip of the Stoli to Jonny L...no that's too obvious. We'll call him J. Lieberman over at ...
