Cosmic Corvettes

Corvettes, like Mustangs, are often driven by people who think their car can spin on the spot. Or fly. Or both. They are mistaken. But not today! Because we have two Corvettes that can do just that....

Don’t Tell Ferrari’s Lawyers

Better the DeVille

We’re used to big black Cadillacs, and they’re, um…. not really our bag. Except today, because this is a 1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and it’s all the class a modern Escalade isn’t. Flickr’s gGh0st is...

Big Yellow Taxi*

This TLCB writer always found it strange that American taxis used to be ginormous V8 sedans. Threading through congested city streets, the only thing lower than miles-per-hour was the miles-per-gallon....
