Reader Ride: 1992 Infiniti G20 2 years ago on Autoblog

Our obsession of all things automotive extends far beyond the latest and greatest that comprises the majority of what you read. That's one of the reasons we've brought back the Reader Ride, so we can showcase what the majority of us roll on a daily basis. Today's ride is exactly the kind of thing ...

Reader Ride: 1972 Datsun 240Z 2 years ago on Autoblog

It's with the greatest pleasure and sincerest honor that we're able to kick-off the return of the Reader Ride with this 1972 Datsun 240Z. Aside from being one of the most handsome vehicles to ever leave Tokyo and its game-changing affect on the perception of Japanese vehicles, this 240Z has a ...

Reader Ride returns next week 2 years ago on Autoblog

We're a mere five days away from relaunching our Reader Ride feature, and by the looks of it so far, we're off to a cracking start. We've amassed over 30 new members in our Flickr pool, with many accompanying their pics with a detailed explanation of where the car is from, its history and what mods ...

Autoblog Podcast #71 2 years ago on Autoblog

We're shooting from the hip this week for Podcast #71. Rather than prepare, we're going with gut reactions. Starting it off, we mull over the loss of the USGP from Indianapolis, and postulate on where else F1 may pop up in the US. An F1 race on the Vegas strip would be the bomb. Staying with ...

Return of the Reader Ride 2 years ago on Autoblog

It's a rare week that goes by that we don't get at least one comment asking where the Reader Ride of the Day has gone. Well, we're pleased to announce that the RR hiatus has ended and in the next two weeks we'll be accumulating more reader-owned vehicles to showcase on a regular basis. We're ...

RR of the Week - Poll Results 2 years ago on Autoblog

At 1:30 AM EST this morning, we closed voting on the closest Reader Ride of the Week poll we've ever seen. During the battle over the weekend, the margin between Adam's 1972 Austin Mini and Oli's Audi S4 was as little as one vote. As the polling continued, jockeying for the top slot became even ...

POLL: RR of the Week 2 years ago on Autoblog

How could we best describe this week's selection of Reader's Rides? Diverse? Too vague. Erratic? Too negative. How about a motley hodgepodge of four-wheeled absurdity? Sure. We'll run with that. Absurd doesn't even begin to describe the idea of piling several of your soon-to-be closest friends into ...

RR of the Day: 2000 Audi S4 2 years ago on Autoblog

It's hard not to get all hot and bothered when we see an S4 doing the three-wheeled tango around an autocross course. However, this particular S4 is putting down 387 HP and 445 lb-ft of torque through all four wheels. In addition to such prodigious power figures, the 2.7L twin-turbo'd Audi has been ...

RR of the Day: 1992 VW Passat Syncro 2 years ago on Autoblog

Flickr user mtl_raoul's G60-powered '92 Passat GL Syncro is one of those things that grabbed our attention when we saw it floating around in the pool. For one, the grille-free B3 Passats are still cool-looking today. Add the fact that the all-wheel drive Syncro variant was not offered in the United ...

RR of the Day: 1969 VW Beetle 2 years ago on Autoblog

This is a tale of a man and his first love, which for a young man named Matt, and many of the rest of us, happens to be a car. Matt came to own his 1969 VW Beetle as a hand-me-down that had been bought and sold through a few family members before winding up with him. He's been driving it since he ...

RR of the Day: 1987 GMC Thompson Short Bus 2 years ago on Autoblog

It's safe to say that when we came across a school bus in our Flickr pool we were a bit shocked. It's not everyday that we see a yellow short bus on our daily slog, so the idea that somebody would use it as regular transportation left us somewhat dumbfounded. However, when we looked into it ...

RR of the Day: 1972 Austin-Mini 2 years ago on Autoblog

A few of us around Autoblog HQ have an affinity for some of the more diminutive automotive offerings. When it comes to the classic Mini, it just doesn't seem to get any better. Although its current iteration is one of the great vehicles to come out this century, they look downright bloated compared ...

RR of the Week: Poll Results 2 years ago on Autoblog

We said last Friday that we love the FD RX-7 and apparently, so do you. When polling ended over the weekend, ebaine1's 1993 example received 42-percent of the 1,673 votes cast between Saturday morning and Sunday night. The red rotary-powered ride beat out a gorgeous '77 Lancia Scorpion by 320 ...

Chrysler set to recall some 2006 Dodge Rams 2 years ago on Autoblog

There are cheap recalls and there are expensive recalls. Luckily for the Chrysler Group the current recall of 86,333 '06 Dodge Rams built between Nov. 7, 2005, and April 27, 2006 amounts to little more than adding grease to wheel bearings. Unfortunately for 2006 Ram owners if this issue is left ...

POLL: RR of the Week 2 years ago on Autoblog

Our readers have some of the most interesting rides in the whole of the webiverse. It's plain to see that your automotive enthusiasm runs the gamut from cultish Italian iron, to precision corner-carvers; ill-fated sedans to rough-and-tumble pickups; even oddly shaped 'Aminos. Some fill us with ...

RR of the Day: 1993 Mazda RX-7 2 years ago on Autoblog

We sure do love us some FDs. Yes, the turbo rotary is a ticking time bomb, just waiting for the slightest hint of ping to send shards of that wonderful Wankel through the hood, and yes, the engine has to be rebuilt every 40-60k miles, but if you had to pick a vehicle from the 90s (hell, even today) ...

RR of the Day: 1991 Chevrolet S-10 Baja 2 years ago on Autoblog

Flickr user "91 s-10baja" shares with us his -- you guessed it -- '91 Chevy S-10 Baja in all its trick-looking bestickered glory. We love the simple, straightforward look of the old squared-off S-10s in general, and the Baja package that was offered from '88 to '91 really dialed things up a notch. ...

RR Of The Day: Merkur XR4Ti 2 years ago on Autoblog

Merkurs are some of our favorite cars. Flickr pool member sncollins has a nice '88 XR4Ti he's been wheeling around for the last 20,000 miles or so. Powered by the tough-as-nails 2.3 liter turbocharged four that also saw service under the hood of SVO Mustangs and other Fox-platform cars, even a ...

RR of the Day: Holden Commodore VU S Ute 2 years ago on Autoblog

While we may not be as obsessed with all-things-Caminage as some other sites, we have a hard time denying the useful versatility of a rear-wheel drive sedan, with everything aft of the B-pillar removed and turned into a truck bed. Rumors are beginning to circulate that GM may be considering ...

RR of the Day: 1977 Lancia Scorpion 2 years ago on Autoblog

Iconic Italian design comes in many forms and one of those is the Lancia Monte Carlo. Sold abroad from 1975 through 1979, the Monte Carlo was based off the X1/9, and came equipped with a mid-mounted, 1995cc engine that produced upwards of 120 HP. It was the elder statesman to its platform sibling, ...

Beater of the Week: Poll results 2 years ago on Autoblog

Throughout the weekend, one vehicle held a commanding lead over the other beaters featured last week. As the polling drew to a close, that margin lessened, but still, Big Momma brought home the bacon. She wasn't without some serious competition, provide by the absolutely hideous Prelude, which came ...

Beater of the Week: Poll 2 years ago on Autoblog

Beater Week has drawn to a close and now the onus is on you to pick the most worthy whip of the bunch. Each one is vying for your morbid, schadenfreude-inspired affection, but there can be only one. Your choices of automotive detritus include the '89 Buick Skyhawk, rusted and busted but still ...

Beater of the Day: 1989 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Package 2 years ago on Autoblog

How could we possibly deny featuring a retired police Caprice that goes by the name of Big Momma? We can't. We tried, but it was useless. Owned by Autoblog reader 787B (an admitted Wankel-lover), Big Momma's main use is to schlep a race-ready RX7 to and fro, along with all the prerequisite track ...

Beater of the Day: 1987 Honda Prelude Si 2 years ago on Autoblog

Reader/Flickr member blodi admits up front that he no longer owns the car above. We're gonna let that slide, because seriously, it doesn't get much better than this. He bought the Prelude from a buddy for $50.00. That's right -- fifty bucks. The flat black paint was already in place when he took ...

Beater of the Day: 1988 Jeep Comanche 2 years ago on Autoblog

This '88 Comanche's got it all: "Anti-theft-grey" paint, one mismatched (and dented) door, custom "OUCH" spray-paint graphic on one side, Batman decal on the other, and a dog that hates riding in it. The ergonomics are lousy, the French cooling system (courtesy of the Jeep/AMC/Renault alliance) is ...

Beater of the Day: 1986 Fiat X1/9 2 years ago on Autoblog

What do you do when you want to experience the joys of mid-ship motoring, but can't afford exotic iron and don't want the reliability of an MR2? Well, have we got a Fiat for you. The Fiat X1/9 was produced in conjunction with Bertone and deep within the tight confines of the engine bay, beats a ...

Beater of the Day: 1989 Buick Skyhawk 2 years ago on Autoblog

What better way to start off this week's salute to beaters than to bring you a rusted and busted 1989 Buick Skyhawk? With just a few ticks over 119k on the clock, Flickr member Circax inherited this particular J-body from his grandfather and although it looks worse for the wear, it still manages to ...

Return of the RR of the Week: Poll Results 2 years ago on Autoblog

Our 2007 kickoff week for the Reader Ride of the Day was one of the best in recent memory and we can't tell you how good it was to bring back our favorite daily feature. Although there was a fair amount of four-wheeled pron to battle it out, in the end, Mike Hutch's 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R beat ...

POLL: Return of the RR of the Week 2 years ago on Autoblog

This week signaled the triumphant return of our Reader Ride of the Day, and to say that we're pleased with the results would be a bit of an understatement. Our Flickr pool has been growing at a steady rate, which made it that much more difficult to select only one vehicle to highlight each day, but ...

RR of the Day: 2005 Dodge SRT-4 ACR Edition 2 years ago on Autoblog

The Dodge Neon SRT-4 is the embodiment of domestic compact performance. Take a 2.4-liter inline-four, boost the Hell out of it, send all the power to the front wheels and watch the BFG G-Force KDWs disappear into a smoky cloud of torque steering bliss. It's a hootin', hollerin' good time and it ...

RR of the Day: 1997 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT 2 years ago on Autoblog

Flicker user and Autoblog reader Marnie (a.k.a. *Your Pal Marnie on Flickr) acquired the "97 Legacy 2.5 GT pictured above because she needed something with AWD to act as a winter car. As any of you who live in areas where the white stuff falls during the cold months, this is entirely ...
