Below a dealership in Santa Clarita, California, a wide variety of super-rare Porsche models are housed in this underground museum.

Many car nerds – myself included – have spent countless hours crawling the internet for a story about a real barn find. The more stories we find like this amazing Lotus Esprit barn find, the more we can allow ourselves to believe that it’s still possible for us to find one. Every new barn-find story …

I love covering barn-finds. It is the automotive equivalent of buried pirate treasure; you know you’ll likely never find one yourself, but you know they are out there. Of course, like buried treasure, not all barn-finds were created equal. Just because it’s a barn-find doesn’t mean it’s a vintage, lost, uber-rare, racing legend or prototype …

Ah, the 80s. You were so ugly, yet, for some reason, we can’t help but love you. The 80s is back, y’all. It’s in our fashion, TV shows, movies, and definitely in our car and truck taste. Think about it; all the big, brown, square trucks are back and cost 10x what they did new. …

Getting a new (or maybe more appropriate for this article, old car) vehicle is really exciting. You fawn over it and clean it endlessly, ordering parts in a frenzy to set it up just the way you want it. Then you remember the DMV. Depending on which state you live in, this can be quite …

The Southeastern U.S. is a fascinating place for many reasons. One of the more fascinating things about it (for the purposes of this writing) is the amount of land that an individual can have without a burning desire to sell. In the South, land usually means stuff stored on that land, and by stuff, it …

The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T is already a beloved muscle car. However, the one we’re covering today has a unique history. That’s because this Challenger was owned by Godfrey Qualls, a Detroit police officer who made a name for himself as a mysterious street racer. According to CBS Detroit, the officer would drag race, win, …

RVs have been on a tear lately. The ability to travel with a sense of safety and comfort has become one of the most valuable things during Corona times. RVs allow us to isolate ourselves on the move. So, with this boom in RV sales and rentals, new markets have opened up to give people …

Vintage British sports cars have a certain air about them. Specifically, an oily and gassy air is both charming and annoying. But that is not what we are talking about today. Today we are getting into the beautiful and quirky world of the MGB GT. Before I hear any scoffs, the MGB GT was not …

The couple in these videos usually records stories of themselves on various trips around the world. During lockdowns this year, however, they decided to search for––and buy––a vintage 1970s camper. The vintage camper RV is a Coachmen Leprechaun. At first it’s exciting, but after a few months of work on renovating it, the two may …

Vintage Ford Broncos (sigh). Yes. They are cool. Yes. They are iconic. Yes. They are fun. No, they are not good enough in any real, measurable way to be worth the current prices – and I can prove it. Don’t get me wrong; I love a Bronco. The older, the better. They are boxy, American, …

The 1960s were, in many ways, the years that set a precedent for so many of America’s most formative cultural moments. It was a decade that saw humanity’s ascension to the moon and the depths in which our nation could sink in the treatment of its sons and daughters during the Civil Rights movement and …

We all have an ever-growing list of dream cars. The internet is undoubtedly public enemy No. 1 for those who don’t need any more help with finding stuff to want that we can’t afford. The internet can be a never-ending hole of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. But this week, the eternal fall into the pit …

Believe it or not, the RV started for just $1,900 on Craigslist. With a bit of investment and a lot of TLC, the owner transformed it into a gorgeous home on wheels. A very tiny and beautiful home that’s basically a hipster’s pocket-sized paradise. This pretty RV renovation is the stuff of nomadic dreams. So …

Ground-breaking engineering isn’t only found on pricey supercars like the McLaren F1. It’s more impressive when cars everyone can afford have innovative features. And French automaker Citroen knows something about that. Its iconic 2CV remains a beloved people’s champion, and the 1955 DS is still an impressively-advanced luxury car. But, as Jay Leno explains, before …

Aston Martins are James Bond’s usual wheels of choice. At least, in the films. But in the original books, Bond drove a Bentley. Specifically, one of the sportiest pre-war (pre-WWII) cars the British automaker produced: the 4 ½ Litre Blower Bentley. And now, just like Jaguar and Aston Martin before it, Bentley is making some …

Those who want classic motorcycle looks without the hassle are a bit spoiled for choice right now. Almost every manufacturer offers a vintage-looking bike. Honda has the Monkey and Super Cub, Triumph the Thruxton café racer and Bonneville, and Royal Enfield’s developing a scrambler. There’s one retro motorcycle, though, which deserves some more attention: the …

As with classic SUVs, vintage motorcycles have risen in popularity in recent years. As have scooters, which is why manufacturers offer modern versions of icons like the Vespa and Honda Super Cub. But there’s another 2-wheeled form of transportation that’s also enjoying a cultural resurgence: the moped. What is a moped? Like motorcycles, mopeds have …

The Equus Throwback might not be as well known as other iconic supercars, but this car packs a crazy amount of horsepower under the hood.

Quite a few famous names have been attached to pickup trucks over the years. There’ve been Terminator-edition Toyotas and Tonka F-Series. Several apparel companies have collaborated with automakers on pickups, as has the Kentucky Derby. And of course, there are several Ford and GMC pickups with ‘Harley-Davidson’ on their tailgates. But there’s also a truck …
