You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. Also, it’s probably too late for a return to sedan racing, but when are we going to get into some proper SUV racing?

Based on my calendar, you can start driving your Opel Omega on May 21st, but once June 24th rolls around, you’ve gotta swap over to your Cadillac Catera (or at the very least, swap your badges). It’s the Summer of Catera!

What’s stopping you from importing a Nissan March Cabriolet from Japan?

I’m getting bagels at my favorite spot across town, and this is a reminder that I should come over here more often.

Happy T-top Thursday, folks!

Okay so this is just an Audi A2, right?

Put me in coach. I’m ready. I’ve been ready for years

It sounds like TVR is making serious progress, I can’t wait to see where they end up!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nicer Jaguar XJS. Also, lol at the Bitcoin ATM sign in the background. I don’t think this driver has ever heard of those, and she’s better off as a result.

With VW bringing back Scout, which defunct car brand will be the next to return?

Forget the $660k inflation-adjusted base price. Tell me more about the self-cleaning ashtray!

The Mitsubishi Gaus and Zaus were far more interesting than the Maus, which looks like a 90’s Peel P50.

Oh, and here’s a bonus round (from the walk home).
