We just recently received our latest shipment last week. Excitement abounds because even with the names of the cars on the manifest, we usually have no idea what we are getting, or what condition the cars are in until we crack open the container doors. It’s like one of those Kinder egg toys, but instead of a .04 cent plastic toy that could possibly be a choking hazard even for adults, it’s, you know, a weird car....

If you had access to the Internet and thought anything about cars a few years ago you saw Tamir Moscovici’s excellent encapsulation of Magnus’s ethos in short doc form. Here it is if you didn’t see it: This is as good as an introduction to the man as you’ll need and so it’s great that, in honor of that film’s tenth anniversary, Magnus teamed up with the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles to display some of his collection....

It is a much more profound feeling that has a physical effect on the body, the same way a negative attitude does.

Created by the Berber Tribe, these beautifully handwoven rugs are unique in every way. Their intricate patterns are based on the age-old customs and beliefs of the people, giving them a distinct ethnic quality. It was in the early 20th Century when the Berber women started to innovate, and contribute to the household income, as well. They developed a different kind of rug that seemed to break from tradition. Interestingly, the rugs are fashioned from used clothing or scraps instead of wool, their material of choice....

Just so everyone is up to speed, when we talk about Bubble Era Japan we mean the period from about 1986 to 1991 when real estate and stock market speculation, cavalier lending, and loose government policies all conspired to make that period a really good time in Japan, with everyone flush with cash and carmakers feeling free to try all kinds of bonkers things, until it all came crashing down, because, you know, bubble....

One of my favorite things to do on a road trip or in a campground is identify where the headlights of a Class A RV came from. I’m not the only one, as there are online groups just for pointing out and identifying RV lights. Some manufacturers have moved away from robbing automaker parts bins, and instead equip their rigs with lights that look a little more bespoke. Still, there are some manufacturers that still look to the automotive industry to solve their lighting problems....

As you can see by the picture, eventually I found one. Over the years it seems to have lost its little transparent glass insert that formed the window glass, and the plastic dual surfboards on top. That’s understandable, as most of this car’s playing career involved it slamming into walls or furniture at high relative speeds. As far as why I wanted one so much as a kid, I bet these commercials were the key factor:...

With the right planning and execution, one long-term position can be more successful than several short-term positions. When it comes to forex strategy, ‘long term’ refers to trades that can go on for days, weeks, months or even a year or more. This method is sometimes known as positional trading, as it involves holding one position for an extended term. Although long-term trading strategies can be lucrative, they probably suit a certain personality type that is willing to be patient and forgo the excitement of short-term trading....

First, however, there is the small matter of our small convertibles. Fix it again, Tony: The Fiat is our winner. I am in total agreement with you all on this one. It’s a great price on what looks to be a fascinating long-term project. And after all that work, going for that first drive would be so sweet — better than any victory lap ever taken. It’s a damn good thing I have no place to put it or work on it, or I might be campaigning for it to join my own fleet....

The usual kernel of any good shitbox is an ounce of sensibility. Parts availability for old Mopar tat is tremendous, most old Japanese cars will run until the bodies rot off and while every electrical component on an old German car will fail, that won’t faze robust engines like BMW’s M30 inline-six and Volkswagen’s unstoppable two-liter eight-valve four-cylinder engine. Hell, I applied this logic when buying my 3-Series as parts are just so much cheaper than they were for my old Infiniti G35....

There’s plenty of terrifying automotive Halloween references, but when it comes to cars, the car from The Car might just be the car. The Car was a strange 1977 horror movie about a murderous car that was highly sensitive to being insulted and appeared to drive by itself. In addition to seemingly being able to become offended, the car also appeared to be unable to drive onto hallowed ground, like a cemetery, allowing the people the car was tormenting an opportunity to taunt the machine:...
