Quantum of Annoyance--When Product Placement Goes Horribly Wrong

Dec 3, 2008
My wife and I watched the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace a week or so ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. As you might guess from my frequent references to Bond, I am a fan of the franchise--and while...

Infiniti G35 Coupe

Oct 14, 2008
The Infiniti G35 Coupe doesn't really fit in among my other objects of lust. It's not quirky, weird, or abjectly awful. It's not a big, bluff, anti-social muscle car. It's not a hatchback or a wagon. And it's not an...

Car Lust--Year 2K

Jul 31, 2008
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at the year that, for me, may be the finest year for Car Lust: the first year of the new millennium. For me, the year 2000 is the automotive equivalent of an All-You-Can-Eat Steak and Seafood Buffet...

Car Lust--Avanti

Nov 30, 1999
I saw my first Avanti one summer in the mid-1970s when I was 12 or 13. It must have belonged to someone who liked to golf, because it showed up at the local par-3 course at least once or twice a week.

2008 BMW M3

Nov 30, 1999
Given the ho-hum response to the AMG CLK63 Black Series post and to other fancy sports sedans on this blog, I'm guessing not many of our Car Lust regulars will be singing the praises of the 2008 M3.

As always, this is the venue for discussion that doesn't really fit anywhere else. - Saab's future is still up in the air, but Saabs United has a good analysis of the situation. I'm not sure what to make of the speculation that the Saab 9-5 might be...

Santa Claus' Sleigh

Dec 24, 2009
What an amazing vehicle! Used only once a year, this marvelous machine travels at infinite light speeds, delivering a massive quantity of packages unparalleled by any other transport device ever conceived by humankind. It's quite stealthy, too! No...

Great Cars of Song: Red Barchetta

Dec 23, 2009
For those of a certain age--namely, anyone who came of age in the late 1970s to early 1980s--and of a certain musical proclivity (i.e., hard progressive rock), this song by the Canadian prog-rock band Rush will bring back memories. Or not, depending on...

Mad Science, Cincinnati Style

Dec 22, 2009
My law school classmate Jeff sent me a photo of a car for sale which he saw on the streets of Cincinnati: Bargain hunters, take heed: to judge from the sign on the window, the seller is what they like to call "motivated." We do not know what...

Dec. 21 Weekly Open Thread

Dec 21, 2009
As always, this is the venue for discussion that doesn't really fit anywhere else. - Saab still has a flicker of hope, in the form of a last-minute bid from Dutch specialty carmaker Spyker. GM's deadline for a decision is end of day today, so this...
