The close link between cars and timepieces has become almost a parody of itself in the social media age, with car companies regularly releasing watches to commemorate certain models and entire X and Instagram accounts set up to mock the ever-popular “wristwatch over steering wheel” pose that not-so-humbly brags about one’s taste in cars & […]

Robert R. Aronson isn’t as well known as EV and hybrid car pioneer Victor Wouk, but like Wouk he kept the idea of electrically powered vehicles alive during the long interregnum between the demise of Detroit Electric (the most successful EV company before Tesla) in the 1930s and the introduction of Toyota’s Prius hybrid and […]

Rich people become much harder to resent when you learn that they’ve spent their money pretty much the same way you would if the roles were reversed. That could describe George Warren Barber Jr., the Birmingham, Alabama businessman who died on Monday. His father founded Barber Dairies, a business that his son grew substantially during […]

Some subsets of car people are all about the numbers. Some get hyped about performance stats, others about the production numbers and relative rarity of the options combination. Corvette owners often exist in either or both camps, as America’s sports car has a long history of mixing together performance and rarity in interesting ways. Although […]

The general slump in EV sales has spelled trouble for brands that sell only electric vehicles, but Polestar is committed to the segment. Instead of resorting to hybrid technology, the company will leverage the big investments it recently received to expand its range of EVs by releasing four new models over the next three years. […]

Long before she entered the world of modeling, Gloria Dare learned to drive a three on the tree in her mom’s Chevy Nova. She named the car “The Turtle” because of the shape of the hood. Dare grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina—NASCAR country—and she couldn’t get behind the wheel fast enough.  “My grandparents lived […]

Lors de ModaMiami, RM Sotheby's proposera des voitures anciennes mythiques, des supercars et... des camions de pompiers !

Welcome back to Reputation Management! We are again revealing the underbelly of local automotive retailers—places like car dealers and service shops—with fictional service tales inspired by real customer reviews. How do we make these stories seem like they could really happen? Because of my years of experience with a Fortune 500 automotive retailer as a—you guessed […]

Nonagenarian husband and wife Derek and Audrey Evans celebrated their platinum wedding anniversary by buying a new Porsche. The British couple has been together almost as long as Porsche has been selling cars in the U.K. After first trying out a 911 at their local dealership in Bournemouth, Hampshire, they picked up a Macan. “I’ve […]

La maison parisienne proposait ses deux premières ventes aux enchères dédiées aux anciennes en ce début d'année 2026.

The annual auctions at Amelia Island bring out some of the country’s top cars, with something for every kind of enthusiast. The 2026 Broad Arrow docket is filled with Italian GT coupes, pre-war American luxury, and even a Teutonic 6×6 truck. However, it’s the four-wheeled German cars that seemed to stop us from scrolling past, […]

Chevrolet made the eighth-generation Corvette more difficult to modify than previous generations, but several tuners have cracked the code. The Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE) Corvette E-Ray Stage III Yenko/SC boasts a long list of performance modifications that deliver as much power as Chevy’s top-dog offering … and some. The tuner took apart the E-Ray’s 6.2-liter […]

Mark Cockeram’s Simi Valley, California street has 18 homes and eight Teslas, including his 2018 Model 3. It’s a quiet block, car-wise, or at least it was until a day in January 2025 when a bellowing 440 cubic-inch Mopar big-block broke the tranquility. Neighbors who came outside to investigate saw Mark backing a bright yellow […]

Sixty years ago, Can-Am race cars were the most powerful, wildest-look­ing, most step-back-in-fear deafen­ing, and scary-fastest road racing au­tomobiles on the tracks of their time. Faster, even, than Formula 1 cars. And this photojournalist had the incredible good fortune to be there. Yes, it was a crazy-wonderful time. Can-Am was short for Canadian­-American Challenge Cup […]

The Exige didn’t come into this world as an Exige: It arrived as a mean little bastard called the Lotus Sport Elise. And when I say it was a mean little bastard, I’m serious. It tried to kill me twice. Don’t let that put you off importing an original Exige, though. Because everything you’ve heard […]

Ram is bringing back a popular package on the mid-grade off-road trim of its 1500 pickup. First offered for the 2025 model year, the Rebel X Package takes the already well-fitted Rebel half-ton and adds additional ritziness and more off-road capability. It’s essentially a one-stop shop that’s likely to be a hit. First, let’s review […]

“He didn’t slam into you, he didn’t bump you, he didn’t nudge you, he rubbed you. And rubbin’, son, is racing.” With the delivery of that line—especially the last part—in Days of Thunder, actor Robert Duvall created an American racing mantra and became the quintessential image of a NASCAR crew chief. Duvall died on February […]

For this installment of According to You, I want to see just how passionate we get for new vehicles with rear-wheel drive. Do they still have that magic, or is the thrill gone for you? Personally speaking, I do not remember the days when American roads were primarily populated with rear-wheel-drive cars of all shapes […]

Ford made the original Taurus from model years 1986 through 2007, going through a couple of facelifts and one major platform upgrade along the way. Of the millions of Tauruses sold, the overwhelming majority were ordinary family-hauling sedans and wagons, but there were two major exceptions, both available with three pedals. One was the hilariously […]

British electromod specialist Everrati has turned its attention to the original Mini. Having previously gone big by adding EV power to icons such as the Porsche 911, Land Rover Series IIA, Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda, and even the Ford GT40, Everrati has now set its sights on something somewhat smaller. The company has shown two “expressions” […]

L'ouverture sur le monde, c'est ce que promettent les JO. Renault a tenté l'expérience en 1992 en tant que fournisseur et en concession.

Our family business takes us up and down the East Coast and throughout the Northeast. As a hay dealer, I get to see just about everything hidden away in farmers’ barns.  Since I was 18, I have had my eye on a particular 1979 Fox-body Mustang that was tucked away in the early ’90s. In […]

Some well-known automotive brands are in dire straits. First Brands Group, LLC, a conglomerate company that owns popular aftermarket automotive brands such as Raybestos, StopTech, FRAM, TRICO, Autolite, and others, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September of last year after the company’s liabilities ballooned into the billions of dollars while holding very little cash […]

When we last left Sven, my 1966 Volvo 122S, the car was sitting on jack stands in my garage after a successful first day of wrenching. My skilled colleague, Kyle Smith, agreed to stop in Ann Arbor (during his epic Honda Goldwing road trip) to help me tackle a number of projects. The Day 2 […]

En mai, pour la 5e fois, les véhicules anciens ont rendez-vous dans l'Aube à Onjon. Un événement complet, entre expos et balades.

Memories are funny things. You never know what will bring them back or which ones you will retrieve. You can hear just a few notes from a song, catch a wisp of a scent, or a flash of color and it evokes a torrent of memories, sometimes pleasant, sometimes less so. My three siblings and […]

Volkswagen’s cost-cutting campaign will continue over the coming years, according to a new report. The group aims to slash costs by 20% across its entire portfolio of companies by 2028, and the controversial option of closing factories reportedly remains on the table in order to keep its balance sheet in check. Citing a story published […]

It wouldn’t be winter if I didn’t submit a Rob-versus-snowblower column. I shall not disappoint. For over a decade, I had a little Honda HS220 single-stage snowblower. It was a simple machine that dragged itself along the pavement with rubber paddles at the ends of the blades. It started easily, was Honda reliable, and had […]

A rare wide-bodied 964-era Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is the inspiration for the newest addition to the Singer catalog. Known as the WTL (Wide Turbo Look), Porsche built just 1532 Cabriolets with the extended arches of the Turbo, and now Singer is adding another 75 examples. “By the mid-1980s, the personalization Porsche first offered for […]

DUB6 writes: Dear Sajeev, This forum occasionally reviews the custom TV, movie, and show cars that foster nostalgia amongst we boomers. As a guy who owns—what appears to be—a classic GTO, and who also is a fan of the classic rock band Paul Revere & the Raiders, I’d like to bring up their old show […]
