    Ignore the shared political stories for a bit. Actually, ignore them for the whole week if you can. If you read anything, read Josh Welton’s story about two Dodge Challengers – a story about Detroit and its revolution.

    “Michael plans to use the Safari as his inclement-weather wheels while his fair-weather ride, a lightly modified 1991 911 Carrera 4, awaits in a climate-controlled garage. Michael favors the analogy of a road bicycle to a mountain bike, but you get the idea.” Read the full story at Motor1.com. I wonder if there is any…

    The Audi RS 7 is one hell of a car. You may remember when our own Jason Connor took on Shift Sector in one. But then so is the Audi RS 2 Avant. While not as powerful at the RS 7, it is no slouch, and it is a wagon. It is also limited production…

    The 2017 Monte Carlo Rally starts today. Premiering at that rally is the Fiat 124 Abart R-GT. It has a 300-horsepower 1.8-liter engine. Those horses go to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential-shift gearbox. Two wheel drive is a requirement of Group R-GT in which the Fiat is in. Col de Turini is a famous, steep, high…

    The BMW M235i is a fantastic little car. If you yearn for E36s and E46s, the F22 should be on your shopping list. I haven’t driven the M2 but the difference between it and M235i can probably be measured only at 10/10s. Now Turner Motorsport has developed the M235iR, a race car version of the M235i.…

    It’s been a good day. I was going to fill the 15:00 slot with a visit to The Carchive, and I had photographed – and you’re gonna love this – a 1987 brochure for the Mercury Topaz. But one thing lead to another and I’ve run out of time to write it up. So lets…

    Comedian David Spade was involved in a pretty serious three-car crash the other night in Los Angeles. Everybody walked away with only minor injuries and were all checked out at the hospital as confirmed by law enforcement (which is what matters the most), but we’re left scratching our heads over this accident scene. That’s Spade’s…

    On our way to Dallas for a little anniversary trip, my girlfriend and I spotted the dead corpses of Disney’s Cars. Apparently these buddies can’t drive on their own anymore, and lay dormant until they are called upon again.

    We’ve fawned over Chuck Beck before, and we’ve fawned over motorcycles before, and we’ve fawned over Lamborghinis before. How about all three in the same picture? Yes, this is Chuck’s recently finished final product Lamborghini V12 powered home-built motorcycle. Chuck was actually my first interview, and he’s one of the most amazing people in this…
