There have been a lot of Porsche 918 reviews, but then again, there’s lots of reviews of every car. Car companies don’t bring one journalist out to test their car, they bring enough of us to battle William Wallace. But what separates this one is Mike Spinelli. For those that don’t know, Mike founded Jalopnik, […] More »

No matter how much scientific sense they make, the Cayman/Boxster will always be looked at as not-quite-911s. (Give them the same power as the 911 and that would change, but that won’t happen, not from Porsche at least.) It’s an unfortunate stigma because the “Coxster” is a fantastic car.

No judgement here; I live in Los Angeles, land of the super car, where […] More »

Let the deliveries of new F80 BMW M3s begin! As recently as last week I saw BMW road-testing the new M3 (chassis F80) around Los Angeles, but it appears that owners across the Atlantic are starting to take possession. This owner, who lives in Abu Dhabi UAE, got his painted in delicious Alpine White paint. […] More »

The Lamborghini Gallardo is the best selling Lamborghini ever, and by several times over. People called it “the baby Lambo”, but when you compared it to its big brother (Murcielago and LP640, etc), in terms of real-world performance, manageability, and driver feedback, it was the better car. You could fit it places, it had more […] More »
