Earlier this weekend, I did something I’m not supposed do. I tweeted a blog. I told everyone how much I want a Peugeot 309 GTi. But now I’m going to correct my mistake. I’m going to blog my tweet. Here goes. I want a Peugeot 309 GTi. Badly.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Motorsport, Politics, And Identity Collide At High Speed In Neal Bascomb’s ‘Faster’
For a while now, I had been looking for an angle to tell the story of Rene Dreyfus, the Jewish racer driving for plucky little Delahaye who took on Germany’s Silver Arrow Grand Prix aces as the shadow of Nazism fell across Europe. Luckily for all of you, author Neal Bascomb’s is here and he tells […]

What Was Your Neighborhood’s Hero Car?
Every neighborhood has its hero car. The one all the kids on the street turn their heads to gawp at mid-inning during a whiffle-ball showdown. They’re not always what you’d expect, but these cars all make the same impression. And I bet they’re seared into your memory, deeply intertwined with the very love of cars […]
Two Tel Aviv Citroëns Sit Through Lockdown

Could The “Anti-Shock Sticker” On Chrysler’s Captive Imports Captivate American Buyers?
When Chrysler was down in the late-Malaise dumps, before Lee Iaccoca’s K-Cars could steal the scene, the name of the game was the captive import. Cars like the Dodge Challenger and the more aptly named Plymouth Sapporo hit the scene in ads like these as a value-play focused on Americans looking for something else…Read more… […]
Bentley Has More Bespoke Versions Of The Bacalar If You Want To See What Colors You Can’t Get
Bentley recently presented the Bacalar, a 12 car run that’s a rebody of the Continental GTC but costs $2,000,000 and the ability to have a roof. We’ve covered that it’s ridiculously excessive and won’t ever leave the owners’ garages (all 12 are spoken for already, so you can’t get one, sorry) but now Bentley has […]
I Got To See The God Of Trains
I have been a car enthusiast since I was two years old, but I have been a train enthusiast since the moment I was born. Unfortunately, it’s incredibly difficult to get a locomotive into a garage, or drive one to work (especially if you live in the States), so that enthusiasm is usually left at […]
A New Hobby For You To Lose Yourself In While Boreantined
For me, it is now week three of self isolation. A bum immune system has kept me from leaving my house much, but luckily, I have an absurd array of inane solo hobbies to keep me occupied (plus, you know, writing these blogs), and I’m here to share one of my favorites with you all […]

Yeah, sorry about that. Burnout is great! Amazing game series. Love the crashes and the punk rock. I will always be a fan of it, but my ADHD has found a matter more pressing at the exact moment I found this video, and it is this video and the game franchise it is an homage […]

The Car That Was On My Bedroom Wall
We all had bedroom wall cars, and one of the defining models of late-millennial poster vehicles was the Dodge Viper GTS. Being born in the ‘90s meant that you had missed out entirely on the last era of enormous-engined, ill-handling, rip-asunder-the-Earth-torque-creating American muscle cars. Japanese sports cars were…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
What Car Would You Buy With Your $1,200?
We’re all about to get $1,200 in economic stimulus. Well, some of us.
