Get ready for the final race of the 2009 season , taking place in two weeks at chilly Thunderhill Raceway! More cars than ever before, and the most staggeringly wrong collection of vehicles ever seen on the same track. Ah, the Arse Freeze! Who could forget the incredible end-over-end Datsun B210 flip at the 2007 race? Or the upside-down '66 Plymouth Belvedere at last year's race? This year's race...
Traditional publishing is in a lot of trouble. Why? They just can't get their heads around media consumers. In the good ol' days, no one cared about readers. If you were the only game in town, you were the only place for advertisers to blow their money before blowing cocaine. Then Al Gore invented Teh Internets and messed up the model by giving Joe Average the power to look at LOLcats instead of Maureen...
Yes, it's a new Dodge Challenger wearing a Charger Daytona costume, but updated for today's muscle car aficionados. Under the hood sits a standard 5.7-liter HEMI V8, further proving the point that when it comes to the Daytona/Superbird, it's what's on the outside that counts! Luckily for us, HPP did a pretty decent job on the outside. While we're positive that it's the same dimensions as the mondo-sized...
We're convinced BusinessWeek intentionally created its "Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years" list to offend Jalopnik reader sensibilities as much as possible. We've pulled out ten cars that simply have no place on this list. Two-minutes hate ahead. Car: Tata Nano Place on the list: 49 Reason it's BS: The Tata Nano isn't ugly, it's simply space efficient. Given the constraints of price,...
The plaintiff in a Granite City car accident suit is asking Madison County Circuit Judge Daniel Stack to find that the defendant was liable for hitting him. Plaintiff Rudolph Muzzarelli filed a move for summary judgment Oct. 26 on the liability issue in his suit and a request for a continuance of the trial set Nov. 2. Muzzarelli is suing Matthew Evans for allegedly hitting his car and injuring him...
While the human Seven Deadly Sins – lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride – clearly play a part in any automaker’s fall from grace, Detroit cultivated its own favorite deadly transgressions. Chrysler’s recurring dirty little habit was premature ejection: spurting cars out of the factory door before they were ready. The shoddily built [...]
Car and Driver also created a list of the 10 Best muscle cars for its January 1990 issue. The magazine focused on the engines and included: * 1966–1967 Plymouth/Dodge intermediates with 426 Hemi * 1968–1969 Plymouth/Dodge intermediates with 426 Hemi * 1970–1971 Plymouth/Dodge intermediates with 426 Hemi * 1966–1967 Chevy II SS327 * 1966–1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 *...
Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Until today, we've only had one first-gen Camaro in this series. Well, that changes now, because we've got this spotless '67 RS convertible for you; it follows in the footsteps of this purple '69 coupe . I'd seen this car at the Park Street Car Show , but it...
While most of you know my city for its street-parked old cars , Alameda also boasts plenty of high-buck-type show cars. Once a year, they take over the island's main drag. Organized by the refreshingly old-school gearheads at Lee Auto Supply , the Park Street Auto Show always brings in the usual crop of really cool shoebox Chevies, first-gen Camaros and Mustangs, and so on; while we all like those...
(By Andrew Dys, adys@heraldonline.com) His first name was Manie, but nobody called him that. His middle name was Leroy, and many called him that. But his cab was "Number 3," and just about everybody years ago in Rock Hill who needed a ride called out that. Blue Bird Taxi Co., car Number 3, owner and driver for more than 40 years, that was Manie Leroy Dye. Number 3 in a Chrysler Imperial or...

Whether or not that's a good thing depends on your personal point of view, but Chrysler seems happy to accept the role...
Yes, what could be more American than a Volkswagen-engined Plymouth based on a Simca design? Actually, big spenders could get the '81 Horizon with Chrysler's new 2.2 engine, which upped the American-ness to some extent. The Omni/Horizon did its job, which was to provide a semi-homegrown econobox to help replace the captive-import Mitsubishis and keep the revenue flowing until Chrysler could start...
A 19-year old Port Leyden woman was hospitalized Friday after her 1999 Plymouth Breeze slid off the road, hit a tree head-on and burst into flames, Lewis County sheriff’s deputies said.
