In my travels I have found few places more ideally fit to open up a car—really open it up, I mean—than Interstate 10 in Texas headed west toward California. The Hill Country gives way to true desert and 80 mph speed limits between Kerr County and El Paso County, and while the State Troopers frown […]
Public service message to all parents: you’ve got to hide your booze stashes better than how these parents did in their Wolseley Hornet. Come on, people, you didn’t even try! At least pour it into an empty coolant bottle or something.Read more… Continue Reading at http://jalopnik.com

About a year ago, my colleague David Tracy discovered that a 1962 Lockheed Jetstar once owned by Elvis Presley, the Elvis, was for sale and “as swanky as you think it is.” Well, it might be swanky in design, but months of siting derelict have not been kind to this jalopass aircraft. Will you give […]
Back when legendary designer Brooks Stevens helped style the original “Rhino Grille” 1963 Jeep Wagoneer, he probably didn’t expect Jeep to keep the basic fascia design alive for 29 model years. And yet, the brand did just that, though the average person may not realize it.Read more… Continue Reading at http://jalopnik.com

The last time Toyota teamed up on production duties with another automaker, we got the GT86 and the Subaru BRZ—cars that are very good, but also nearly identical in every way. We know that the new Toyota Supra will share a platform, transmission and engine with the new BMW Z4, but apparently their driving experiences…Read […]
Nothing makes me angrier than carrying stuff: gym clothes, suitcases, books, papers and worst of all, a stroller and car seat when I travel with my toddler. Even though I wound up with the world’s lightest umbrella stroller (hello, Maclaren Mark II) and a super light car seat (this one cannot be beat), sometimes…Read more… […]
