Ferrari Dino Reportedly Making a Comeback

Ferrari Dino Reportedly Making a Comeback
The Ferrari Dino, manufactured from 1968 to 1976, was a beautiful car, but it wasn’t really a Ferrari. The mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive autos, which came in both 6- and 8-cylinder models, were basically a brand unto themselves designed to allow Ferrari to try and make a dent in the market for people who could not afford the incredible prices for its top of the line 12-cylinder monsters.…

2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
VW is describing its newly redesigned 2016 Jetta GLI as “bold” and “sporty.” To me, blah is more like it. While it’s certainly not an ugly car (and some Jetta models have not been pretty), it has a very generic Corolla-like exterior, even with its new grill, fog lights and bumper.…

Jet Truck Test Firing Causes Emergency False Alarm
One of the coolest things I ever saw as a kid happened at an air show my parents took me to. It was cool enough to see the Blue Angels flying overhead, but at intermission, the show had a big semi truck that was powered by jet engines.…

Drifting Sochi in the Toyota RocketBull86

Drifting Sochi in the Toyota RocketBull86
Drifting is the automotive equivalent of primal chest thumping. Technique is important but so is noise and show. In this clip from Red Bull, Nikita “Shick” Shikov ​helms what appears to be a tricked-out Toyota GT86 and hammers it through the biggest curve at the Sochi Autodrom Formula One racing circuit in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi in Krasnodar Krai, Russia.…

Top Gear Teases Its Last Proper Episode
With Jeremy Clarkson 100% gone, and Richard Hammond and James May almost surely following behind, Top Gear is basically over. Sure, The BBC wants to resurrect it in some form, but loyalists such as myself have little tolerance for this program with anyone other than Jezza, the Hamster and Captain Slow.…
