Last Friday a Porsche sold on the auction site Bring A Trailer for a whole lot of money. This, in and of itself, is nothing new. That sort of thing happens all the time. What made this one different, however, was the fact that the car in question was a "tribute" or "replica" selling for similar money as the real deal might command. It's not the …

The natural path of car ownership for an avid VW geek begins with a Golf and ends with a 911.

Pierantonio Macola's 1984 930 Turbo is a time attack car that still wears license plates.

Though the Widowmaker strikes fear into the hearts of many, this footage suggests it's not necessarily as fearsome as its reputation suggests.

It takes a good sense of self to admit that we're not getting any younger. The world takes its toll on our bodies, minds, and occasionally fitness. We can't run as fast as we used to, and usually don't look as good as we used to. Our style has changed, and what was once fashionable is now dated and embarrassing to be seen wearing in public.
