I was talking cars the other day with a lifelong friend, and he shot me his usual question, “Would you ever sell your Trans Am?” My answer came without pause: “No.” Fact is, I love my TA as much now as when it was new, twenty-five years ago. A quarter-century is a long time to […]

Robert Munsch is one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time, a staple of read-aloud story time who conjures a cast of zany characters and impossible plot twists. His stories break the laws of physics, take a wrecking ball to narrative cliché, and are not above skewering stuffy grownups and authority figures. One of those stories […]

We’re a quarter of the way through 2026 and it’s been an active three months in the car market. The beginning of the year included the auction frenzy in Kissimmee and Scottsdale, followed by Rétromobile in Paris, and then the high-end sales in Miami and Amelia Island. There is always a mountain of data to […]

Ariel, a small British carmaker known for making track-ready street-legal cars, has unveiled its quickest model to date. The new Ariel Atom 4RR weighs less than a Mazda Miata, packs more power than a BMW M3, and delivers supercar-like acceleration. It’s not cheap, but it sounds like it’s a lot of bang for the buck. […]

You don’t need to live in a Porsche-designed penthouse to have your own automated multi-storey parking garage. If you’re happy to downsize to 1:64 scale, then the Parksible garage from Hong Kong-based Fun-Tech-Lab can display 14 Hot Wheels cars in two columns in an artfully lit transparent tower. What’s more, each car is delivered to […]

Malgré la "concurrence" de Pâques, le salon Rétro Passion Rennes 2026 a attiré beaucoup de passionnés autour de superbes expositions. Visite complète :

We spend a lot of time here writing about things that move us, literally and figuratively. That usually means vehicles that have us champing at the bit to get behind the wheel, or ones with which we have deep emotional ties (like Stefan’s lovely story about his Uncle Bud’s Nissan Patrol—you can check that out […]

I find it hard to track the amount of work done on a project car, especially in the excitement of the fun tasks. Over the last 10 days, my LS-swap Corvette has actually become an LS-swap Corvette. Putting the new engine in the car is a big milestone, but the final destination is a good […]

There are countless classic car shows across the nation, ranging from burger joint drive-ups to Monterey Car Week, but one of the most impressive gatherings of old-iron 4x4s takes place each spring in the unlikely town of Moab, Utah. Celebrated by many as the stepping-off point for hikes in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, for […]

I have three children, so I’ve changed my share of diapers. And with each kid, there’s that final diaper change. You don’t realize it’s the last one as you’re tossing it in the pail, but it dawns on you later. I had that same kind of feeling the other day, not with regard to my […]

Moab is a special place for Jeep. The off-road community around the small Utah town embraced the brand during the 1950s when a uranium prospecting boom swept the area. The trails there have become a Mecca for off-roaders seeking to test their vehicles and their driving skill on some of the most beautiful and challenging […]

While Michigan recently relaxed driving restrictions for vehicles with historic plates, Minnesota may be preparing to tighten its rules. House File (HF) 3865, introduced by Representative Meg Luger-Nikolai last month, would amend the Minnesota Statutes 2024 by adding a paragraph defining “operation as a collector’s item.” This phrase appears five times in the current statute: […]

Pour sa première le Festival Route 66 de Bram avait de la concurrence. Peu d'anciennes au rendez-vous mais de belles américaines.

The electric BMW i7 is about to get a mid-cycle update that will include new-look styling and drivetrain improvements. BMW enlisted the help of Rimac to give the flagship of the i portfolio more driving range. While the electric motors will come from BMW, the updated i7’s battery pack will blend technology from Germany and […]

Whether it’s super-heated, soft, or sluggish, the collector car market is always changing. Which is why we update the Hagerty Price Guide four times per year. The market is also huge and wide-ranging. We price 39,606 cars and trucks (and 49,409 vehicles in all, if you include our motorcycle Price Guide). There are cars in […]

Nobody wants sedans anymore, and nobody, it seems, wants coupes, either. And yet, an unnamed source at a “major GM supplier” has just informed the folks at Automotive News that the General is fixin’ to dole out a bit of both. If the rumors are to be believed, beginning in 2027, GM’s Lansing Grand River assembly plant […]

A U.S. customer has persuaded Mini to build a genuine ‘one-of-one’ John Cooper Works Convertible at its Oxford factory. Mini describes the Cooper‘s future keeper as “a devoted Mini enthusiast,” and the company has rewarded years of loyalty by creating the Mini.01, which is unlike any other ever made. Most striking is the car’s two-tone […]

C'est avec l'Espíritu de Montjuïc 2026 que s'ouvrait la saison des Le Mans Classic Series. Le meeting espagnol a proposé un beau spectacle. Résultats :

Ce n'est pas de l'essence "spéciale". Les carburants Aspengroup proposent vraiment quelque chose de différent pour vos anciennes... et vous !

It occurred to me, as I watched Artemis II break through a crystalline Florida sky, that very few men and women have been to space. As I viewed the spacecraft’s flight through a desktop monitor’s frame, my fingers turned over a titanium lug bolt. In the light of my lamp, “Pagani Automobili” flashed across the […]

What is it about a fast wagon? The concept of a sporting family hauler has a unique appeal—a study in contrasts, in dissonance. Like wearing a tuxedo T-shirt to the Met Gala, or putting black truffles on an otherwise plain cheeseburger. Consider this: Volvo built its reputation first on durability and later on safety. By […]

The modern world moves fast. Can your classic car keep up?  The math doesn’t lie: 1960s classics now have six decades of use on their clocks. You may have a quarter-mile monster or a dedicated corner carver from that golden era, but even the baddest classic car can feel outclassed in today’s fast-moving, distracted traffic—or […]

One of the best things about the According To You series is how our questions generate answers that enlighten and inform. When it comes to car keys that you find cool, some of them came as a surprise to me, especially the key for Hagerty Media reader Cory L’s 1985 Renault Alliance. It’s cool and […]

Part of why the Porsche 911 has endured for over six decades is that it’s a tremendous amount of fun to drive. From the base, rear-wheel-drive Carrera to the track-bred GT3, the 911 continues to put a big focus on engaging handling. Porsche is convinced that there are still many improvements to be made in […]

Reasonably solid two-door examples of the Chrysler B-Body are worth too much to show up in your typical Ewe Pullet-style self-service wrecking yard… provided they were built for the 1965 through 1974 model years. Get outside that year range, though, and you’ll find them every so often. Here’s one of the final B-Body models, currently […]

Saturday afternoon, to the surprise of many motorsports fans, the Earth was still rotating on its axis, despite the fact that NASCAR allowed a minimally-experienced but motorsports-minded driver named Cleetus McFarland to compete in the North Carolina Education Lottery 250, an O’Reilly Auto Parts series race at the resuscitated version of the long-abandoned Rockingham Speedway […]

The first fully-electric AMG is nearly upon us, and it will come with a synthesized V-8 soundtrack, but genuine powersliding skills. A video just dropped by Mercedes’ in-house tuner shows the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe drifting on an ice circuit on the edge of the Arctic with former Suits star Gabriel Macht at the wheel. […]

Petit retour sur les coupés-cabriolets, une parenthèse ouverte il y a maintenant trente ans... ou peut-être pas.

I am captured by the ability of micro and minicars to meet the minimum requirements necessary to transport two people to point “B.” Over the years, I have owned two Goggomobils, a Honda Z-600, a Fiat 850, and a 500 Nuova. All were fun rides, but all lacked fitness for modern driving conditions in one […]

March 18 marked the birthday of Rudolf Diesel (1858–1913), the inventor of the internal combustion process that still bears his name today, and we can’t help but ask questions while studying his fascinating life. Where would we be, if he had not pursued a technical education? What would have happened had he stuck to refrigeration, […]
