Rare 1965 Datsun Truck Spent 35 Years in a Barn, Engine Refuses To Die

You don't hear much about Datsun nowadays, but the Japanese brand that became famous for the 240Z built quite a few interesting and unique cars back in the day. The 320, a mini pickup truck from the 1960s, is one of them. Datsun began making trucks in 1934 when it introduced... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

Old Mercedes-AMG A 45 Races Ferrari 488 Pista, Learns the Difference Between Hot and Super

As hot as it may be, for a compact hatchback, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 cannot keep up with true supercars in a straight-line battle without some tuning trickery. By the looks of it, this white A 45, which was filmed going bare knuckles on a Ferrari 488 Pista with a very predictable result, does not s... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

1966 Lincoln Continental Is a Time Capsule From the Golden Decade of American Car Making

Depending on where loyalties lie, each of us can point to a different decade in automotive industry as being the best of them all. After all, we have over a century of car making to choose from, and each decade brought something special with it. For me, the best decade would be the 1960s. Trapped between the booming post-war years and the Malaise Era, those short but intense ten years pretty much transformed the industry and put it on the... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

Reinvented BMW “2022” Logically Pays Glorious, Digital Tribute to Sporty 2002

When BMW was doing subtle vertically-designed kidney grilles, they also had a little thing called the 02 Series. Do not mistake this 1966 to 1977 family of compact executive cars with the modern 2 Series. The 02 Series has little in common with its spiritual successor that came to the market way later, since 2014. These 02s were based on the “New ... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

If Jeff Bezos Moves to Space, This Will Probably Be His Home

We’ve become convinced over the years that modern-day billionaires are no longer interested in keeping an air of aristocracy around their businesses and personas. That’s because most of them were not born into wealth, but made it on their own. Of the many billionaires the planet currently has (over 2,700 of them), three stand out through their unorthodox approach to things, nerdiness, and a really strange desire to lea...

Taffy Pull Terrain May Have Once Supported Large Ocean in Mars Largest Impact Zone

It might be a bit difficult, but try imagining Mars with vast oceans and raging rivers, and why not, perhaps even touches of green vegetation from place to place. If somehow you can place that image into your head, hold on to it, as it is nothing but a glimpse into the history of the planet. Without actually going there in person, we humans have slowly become convinced (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

This Digital “Matrix Car” Has Modernized 1965 Lincoln Continental Vibes All Over It

With ten generations behind the nameplate, it’s easy to assume that Lincoln’s Continental occupies a special place in the automotive world. Both from a historical, as well as a cultural perspective. Sure, Lincoln’s Continental may be infamous for its sad role in President Kennedy’s assassination. But it’s also pop culture relevant, (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

Chevrolet Silverado EV Heralds the End for GM's Internal Combustion Engine Pickups

Chevrolet may have just swapped the internal combustion engine of a Silverado with a crate motor and battery package that it already had, but it started from the ground up when developing the mighty Ultium. Chevrolet asked its engineers to develop a vehicle capable of towing 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg). It also had to offer 400 miles (644 km) of driving range. Moreover, at $41,595, including a $1,950 destination freight charge, the Silverado... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Vacation on Board $150 Million Vava II Superyacht Is Eco Hypocrisy

Do as I say, not as I do. By definition, celebrities and public figures attract a lot of attention, and not all of it is wanted. But what do you make of one such public figure when what they say is in sharp contrast to some of the things they do? Enter Leonardo DiCaprio, the latest celebrity to be labeled – and consequently shamed – in the public sphere for being a hypocrite. An eco hypocrite, to be specific. (continue reading...)

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Drag Races Audi RS Q8, Gaps Galore

For a relatively brief moment, the Audi RS Q8 was the fastest SUV around the Nürburgring, but then the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT came along and left the Ingolstadt machine without any titles of its own. Well, apart maybe from the very unofficial one of "the most beautiful SUV" that I've just awarded it? To be fair, depending on how you ... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos

Harley-Davidson Black Joe Looks Invisible in the Dark, Growl Should Scare the Curious Away

It’s no secret black looks great on pretty much everything, but one has to admit, there are times when the non-color seems to be used to such an extent it kind of loses its appeal. Until something like the motorcycle we have here comes along and twists that around all over again. For a motorcycle whose production name screams darkness, black, of course, seems like the obvious choice. And that’s the path Japanese custom... (continue reading...) Do You Love Autos
