The La Carrera Panamericana... (Free subscription) | 09/08/2009
When General Douglas MacArthur made his famous quote, "Old soldiers never die; they just fade away." he very easily could have been talking about old race cars as well. Not all race cars are fortunate enough to withstand the beating or consequences dealt them while racing long enough to think about retirement but for those few lucky enough to endure nothing can make me happier than to see...

Yessir, I sure do love visiting the junkyard, and all those Junkyard Find posts have resulted in some photographs that look snazzy as computer desktop wallpaper . We provided wallpaper images for your phone , but there was a troubling lack of junkyardness in those choices. So, I've picked out some of my favorite rusty, crusty junkyard shots and resized them to fit the most common monitor resolutions...

The junked Vista Cruiser was a sad sight, but I felt even worse when I found this Mercury a few rows away at the same yard. There's just something extra cool about a full-sized fastback Ford from this era; all the NASCAR-inspired style of the Torino/Cyclone fastbacks, but with the added presence of the big machines. An up-and-coming young mobster might have chosen a fastback Galaxie, but the really...

Raging cynic that I am, I don't think Obama has the power to transform our wheezing, rattling, clanking '67 Mercury Monterey of an economy into the Starship Enterprise overnight, but I do think he can order up some college football playoffs. That would be almost as good as rescuing the economy. The lack of playoffs isn't just irritating; it is undermining our sense of ourselves as a nation where justice...
