Romance IS Alive! Girl Takes Cab from Arkansas to Florida to See Boy
Today’s news is full of awful stories about shootings, terrorism, and people generally being turd buckets, so it’s heartwarming to discover a news story that demonstrates that humanity is still more than capable of love.

Will the Next-Gen Chevy Volt Design Copy the Corvette Stingray?
When we first heard this suggestion, our initial though was “hahahahahaha.” After all, the Chevy Volt is about as far removed from the Corvette design-wise (and everything else-wise) as Scrooge McDuck is from winning the office ugly sweater contest. But, as it turns out, the idea isn’t quite as laughable as we first imagined. In […]

What do The Godfather, Casablanca, Silence of the Lambs, Schindler’s List, and Transformers 4: Age of Extinction all have in common? Michael Bay thinks they all were—or are—deserving of an Oscar for Best Picture. And what do they not all share in common? Only the first four should ever be remotely associated with the Academy […]

Rick Hendrick is no stranger to VINs with lots of zeros and a one at the end.

Report: 2016 Shelby GT350 Price to Start at $52,995
The 2016 Shelby GT350 was one of the worst-kept secrets at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, but the almost universal understanding that it was coming didn’t stop anybody from getting giddy about it anymore than it stopped people from getting amped up about the first Star Wars VII trailer.
