Fuel economy. Who needs it?! Sane people, maybe, but CarTrek does not star the kind of people that would value 30 miles per gallon or 132 hp 4-cylinder engines in a 2013 Toyota Corolla LE. CarTrek stars a trio of YouTubers, Ed Bolian, Tyler Hoovie, and Freddy Hernandez, who value cars that go fast, guzzle

They’ve done Hoovie’s Garage, they’ve done Stradman, and the VINWiki appraisal team is still at it! And this week’s collection is a real doozy. You might be familiar with the “Shmeemobiles“, Tim “Shmee” Burton’s eye-popping collection of some of the world’s most incredible cars. Nestled between his more “sensible” Ford Focus RS Heritage and Renault

You all know about Monterey Car Week. That little car show that’s considered the automotive enthusiast’s Mecca and attracts thousands upon thousands of people from all over the world? Yeah, that one. Having experienced it for the first time last year, I can attest that the green fields of The Quail and Pebble Beach mixed

The VINWiki appraisal train continues!

Prints and paintings are cool. Having a physical interpretation of what you or someone else and hanging it up for display somewhere in your abode serves both as a way of showing off the skills of the photographer as well as whatever unimaginable beauty the scene portrays. Not only can they encapsulate the beauty of

Have you ever looked at a YouTuber’s car collection and wondered just what kind of value that garage is holding? Perhaps you have, but the thought of scouring the internet for values and narrowing them down to that specific example was just too much effort. Perhaps you haven’t at all, in which case this post

Any group, regardless of hobby, needs some sort of gathering place. A clubhouse, if you will. Having a spot where you and your like-minded peers can get together and partake in whatever makes your heart skip a beat sounds like a home away from home. For automotive enthusiasts, that kind of place usually takes the

Owning an exotic car makes you stand out, there are no ifs or buts about that. It’s a showpiece that leads people to assume any number of things, whether true or otherwise, about your personality even before they’ve met you. That’s the power of an exotic car. For some though, purely owning one is just

If you’ve spent any amount of time around the JDM merchandise “scene”, you’re doubtlessly aware of the designs that are popular on stickers, banners, shirts, and the like. More often than not, they’ll be some kind of combination between sakura flowers, a ludicrous amount of Kanji, and probably Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” somewhere

Fast, futuristic, and legendary. The Porsche 959. Once a Group B Rally Car and homologated production vehicle, the 959 was Porsche’s first supercar and was able to reach a top speed of 197 mph. Unfortunately, due to Porsche’s unwillingness to provide the Department of Transportation with the four cars require for crash testing, the 959

Ladies and gentlemen, inline 4s and V8s, the day has finally come. I have acquired my very own project car. Now it’s not a project car in the sense that every panel is full of nature’s weight reduction and the dash resembles Death Valley. It’s a project car more so in the way that it

I never got lowriders. Why would you ruin a car by putting comically small wheels on it and pointless bouncy suspension? Is this a classic car or one of Dumbo’s clown partners? Needless to say, I did my best to avoid them and stuck to my comfort zone of Japanese cars and exotics. Then the

Being born in Romania meant that I was pretty familiar with a good number of Eastern European cars both from that time and from the Communist era. I had seen everything from Dacias to Wartburgs, Moskvitches, Ladas, and everything in between. There was one car, however, that I was even more familiar with than the

If you ask most car enthusiasts about their childhood car(s), they’ll likely say something along the lines of “Oh yeah that was the car that got me into cars!” That’s because childhood cars, alongside Hot Wheels or Matchboxes, are the catalysts for a lifelong hobby.
