There’s more than a few rabid readers of the site who’ll be able to answer that question in a split second, so a better question is probably what in the world is Wert doing wherever he is? Although you may figure it out in the comments below, we’ll neither confirm or deny any of the… »

Somewhere on the road between Project Car Hell and the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage is a place known as reality. And since today is apparently BMW 633CSi day, we thought we’d share what our reality is. This is my personal ‘83 633CSi. It’s not quite old enough to be a real classic, and it’s certainly not… »

You know what we’ve always liked about the Rambler Classic? The fact that after all this time the Rambler Classic is actually sort of a classic. Who doesn’t remember the Rambler? It’s the freaking Rambler. And though the Classic isn’t as classic looking as, say, a Rambler Six, it is nevertheless a classic and not… »

In another setback to French dreams of displaying the All-Time Eternal Project Car Damnation MegaTrophy (which turns into a pile of red powder within a few weeks) at the top of the Eiffel Tower, the hybridized British Leyland machine obliterated the Peugeot diesel in yesterday’s Choose Your Eternity poll.

After the soda can performance of a Brilliance BS6 in a German test, the crash survival of drivers in a Brilliance car was assumed to be heavily based on divine intervention.

Made by the Dynasty Electric Car Corporation, they call it the, err… It. Now, while it may only be classified as a Low Speed Vehicle, meaning… »

There’s a Volvo 262C parked in a driveway scant blocks from my house; it would be a super-cool DOTS car, but it’s off-limits. Not so for the Bertone in ejacobs’ neighborhood, which is on the street and set up for easy photography with no other vehicles nearby. These things sold for 15 grand back in… »

Details have emerged from Sony’s “PlayStation Day” in London that Nissan will be sponsoring a Gran Turismo-branded competition with one hell of an eventual prize: the opportunity to compete in a 24-hour race in Dubai next January. Getting to that race is quite the task, though. Beginning on May 23 you can fire up your… »

What can be said about the BMW X3 that we haven’t already been through? It’s a compact SUV which would be better off as a four-by-four station wagon, just as AMC showed us. Funny thing though when you’re developing a new X3 to come out sometime before 2011, you may need to wrap the test… »
