The question of which country produced the best classic sports cars (pre 1970) is a topic of great debate.  Regardless of whether you think Italy, Germany, Japan, USA, England or even France have produced the best vintage sports cars; England undoubtedly boasts some of the best classic sports cars in the world in terms of build quality, styling, innovative features and performance.  ...

As we mentioned in our “Are Cars Getting Bigger?” article; numerous cars have been produced throughout history that are considered exceptionally large. The average size of cars has fluctuated over time for an assortment of reasons.

Don’t get the wrong idea here.  We are huge American car fans and still drool over ZR1 Corvettes, GTS Vipers, classic 302 Boss Mustangs, etc, unfortunately every now and then U.S. car designers get their designs horribly wrong.  These ugly cars may be completely mechanically sound, reliable, fast, luxurious and packed with all sorts of other great qualities, but still revoltingly ugly ...

In the past I applied to deliver pizzas for the leading pizza restaurant chain (hint: It was founded in Wichita, KS); but I must admit that I have never actually worked as a pizza delivery driver.  Despite this I still believe that I recognize some of the central needs pizza delivery people look for in a vehicle (or would like to have). Unfortunately the ultimate cars to deliver pizzas with ...

If you’re thinking of buying a new car but are a bit overweight, then you may want to consider our list of the top 10 cars for fat people as a starting point.  Oh sure we could have been a tad more politically correct and laced this post with “obese”, “overweight”, “plus sized”, “big & tall” or perhaps “metabolically challenged” instead of “fat”, but screw political correctness because we ...

Many car enthusiasts have enjoyed the sleek look of car pop-up headlights.  Although 178 models of cars have been manufactured with popup headlights; this type of headlight design is essentially obsolete today.  The practical benefit of pop-up headlamps was to allow a vehicle to be designed with a lower and sleeker front form than would be possible with the traditional upright design.  In ...

When it comes time for an Automaker to officially name a new car model, often times they draw on notable nouns such as a person (Ferrari Enzo after its founder Enzo Ferrari), place (Ferrari 550 Maranello after the location their headquarters in Maranello, Italy) or thing (Lamborghini Diablo after a ferocious Italian bull named ‘Diablo’). Perhaps the most common ‘thing’ that car companies opt ...

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the unfortunate truth for guys is that most women are attracted to men with money (whether they consciously recognize it or not). This has been scientifically proven numerous times such as recently on the “Science of Sex Appeal” that aired on the Discovery Channel.  In one section of this televised experiment the female’s rated cars on a scale.  Not ...

I used to own a C6 Corvette that was coated in a bright “Victory Red” paint. It was a beautiful, fast and comfortable car that I had dreamt of owning since I can remember. So why did I sell it only a year and a half after I purchased it?  While impracticality was a reason (this was my sole car at the time and daily driver), another key factor for selling was due to the fact that it was a ...

Over the years, there has been much debate as to which particular make and model car is the undisputed, undeniable worst car ever made. The truth is that although we can take a close look at the facts, the only person that can really determine what the worst car ever built, is yourself.

The Sultan of Brunei ... A combination of a seemingly unquenchable thirst for the expensive exotic cars, high-end luxury cars, priceless classic cars and one of a kind concept cars and a $20 billion dollar bank account has created the largest and most expensive car collection in the world.  The Sultan's exotic car collection is so decadently massive that it is estimated to currently be ...
