Haven’t seen a 3rd gen Quattroporte in ages. Although seeing one moving under its own power would have been an even rarer sight. Giugiaro’s styling ages so well and this design still looks fantastic.

Spending a few days with a 2026 Chevrolet Trax in Marina Blue Metallic. 1LT spec w options. Base price only $23,100 and as equipped, a still affordable $26,280. Has adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel & seats, remote start, etc. It’s small but looks huge next to the Alfa and Daytona.

I grew up in the golden age of racing & followed most of it: F1, IndyCar, endurance, rally, LSR, Pikes Peak, etc. I was especially enamored with drag racing, as my brother took me to watch races at Connecticut Dragway. I had a poster of this classic photo (by Bob McClurg) of Wild Willie on my wall.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

For Flashback Friday, who else had a paper route as their first job and what paper did you deliver? From 11-16 I delivered the Bridgeport Post in CT. I had 3 baskets on my String-Ray to handle 85 customers. My first big splurge with my earnings was a Raleigh Chopper.

The Fitch Phoenix. John Fitch, race driver, inventor and WWII flying ace lived near Lime Rock and drove his creation over to the track all the time. It was always neat to see him. After he died it was sold (for $250,000+). Happily, the new owner drives it over to Lime Rock on a regular basis.

One of my oldest friends (we’ve been buds since elementary school) recently completed a 3.5 year restoration on his ‘65 396 C2. The spec and results are spectacular. The 396 was a 1 year only option. And this just dyno’d at 426hp. To me, it’s perfection. Well done, Tony. Well done.
