Can a $40,000 V6 Camaro really take on the mighty BMW M2? Like, really?

Is the Range Rover Evoque Convertible cool?

Johnny and Carlos from Motor Trend take us for a spin in this topless off-roader to debate if it might just be cool.

I saw an orange one go by a few weeks ago, and I’ll be honest, I was digging it.

Petrolicious: Something about humility and an Italian rally car

Jay Leno takes a GTO Judge for a spin

This may be the most bougie thing I’ve ever seen

They’re asking a quarter of a billion dollars for this house in Bel Air that comes stacked with more fancy shit than you’d ever know what to do with. It even comes complete with a helicopter on the roof, and a collection of rare classic and exotic cars, including one of those special edition Bugatti Veyrons, a Pagani Huayra, and, I believe, a pre-war Mercedes 540K.

It’s a total orgy of materialism, and it looks incredible. That said, I feel like after the realtor handed over the keys and left, I’d just be standing there like, “Okay, now that I have everything I ever wanted, now what?”

Prepare to want a Jaguar D-Type quite badly

The folks at Petrolicious never fail to arose the agony of desire in my soul. I would commit any number of crimes just to be able to drive a Jaguar D-Type for 15 minutes, but the owner of this car has driven it over 20,000 miles. I can only imagine what that has been like!

Jay Leno gets his hands on a Ferrari F40

The F40 is the ultimate Ferrari hypercar, and if you disagree with that, you’re wrong. It turned turbo-lag into an art form, and it breathes fire in a way that a LaFerrari can only manage when it actually catches on fire.

Sure there are faster cars now, but there will always be faster and faster cars out there. The key is being one that is remembered, and the F40 will always be the first road car to top 200mph.

Let’s see what Jay thinks when he gets to live the legend…
