Despite a late-minute surge from folks like drag racing champion Cruz Pedregon, who proved quite adept at turning circles at Wednesday night’s fourth annual Old Spice Prelude to the Dream charity race at Eldora Speedway, the winner ended up being the man that brought the racers there — Tony Stewart. We’re assuming we’ll have more… »

This Subaru rear-wheel drive coupe (built as we all know, in a joint venture with Toyota) seems to be advancing at an incredible rate as today we get a look at the first platform mule for the new shared platform. Obviously clad in Legacy duds, the Subayota is not only rockin’ a short wheelbase, but… »

Though the quality on this video is pretty poor, you get the idea. We’ve got Estupendo Mario sitting in less than half a Dacia, doing half-car donuts and half-car stoppies.

Does the world really need an anti-Concours D’Elegance, something to celebrate everything horribly spectacular in the automobile world? Yes, yes, and yes! The genius behind the Billetproof car show (which will be happening in Davisburg, Michigan this weekend), Alan Galbraith, is at it again and proposing a new show to celebrate all that we Jalops… »

The Dirtbag XJ-S pounded the Sepia 1940 Mopars like a Canadian carny pounding a case of Moosehead in yesterday’s Choose Your Eternity poll, which was about what we expected. After all, a V12 Jaguar can beat most any PCH contender, up to (and perhaps including) a Citröen. We’ll test that hypothesis later, but today we’re… »
