Across America, race tracks are fighting for their lives. Whether it’s due to land developers with pockets full of cash, local residents complaining about noise pollution, declining participation from drivers, or aging owners simply wanting to retire, many circuits are operating on borrowed time. It’s refreshing, then, to see a new track open its doors. Welcome to Ten Tenths Motor Club, a new multi-layout road course in Concord, North Carolina.

The truck veered right and smashed into a guardrail. Was it my fault? I swore I turned the steering wheel left. Nevertheless, I kept my foot in it. Or, at least as much as I could tell. The gas pedal had so much play in the linkage that it was difficult to discern if I was giving any input at all. My dad watched me struggle to pilot the off-roader around the course, working against the subpar equipment. After a few more crashes I limped across the line in last and the left the arcade dejected.

Perhaps this was a question on par with the lowest of low-hanging fruit. Names have been recycled for decades in loads of industries, not just in the automobile-centric world of everyone here at Hagerty Media. There are only so many ways you can stretch the Star Wars franchise, or use classic architecture to kit out homes on the cheap. Put another way, what iconic names have companies used for a car that didn’t earn it? I asked my co-workers what came to mind.

It was 6:00 am on a Saturday in 1974. Ten-year-old Scott Neveu stood in front of his bedroom closet in Westland, Michigan. Bins of slot car parts, plastic model car pieces, and chipped Hot Wheels were stacked neatly at his feet. His mom had yet to rouse the house for her weekend trip to Hudson’s, and the suburban home was silent. What would he play with first? The day was a blank canvas. “I was an only child,” says Neveu, as he thinks back 50 years ago.

A promise was made in of Our Two Cents, and today that promise is kept. It’s only natural to ponder the worst automotive smells after discussing the ones that most satisfy your nose. Sometimes you gotta take the bad with good, as cars are always a mixed blessing. It’s the contrast between the sweet aroma of certain gasolines and putrid 90-weight gear oil. Or the smell of a new car with a cheap interior versus one with really expensive bits and decadent leather trimmings.

This week we asked the staff here at Hagerty Media for “their two cents” on automotive forums. The inspiration came from an article I recently published here on Hagerty: “Did Facebook Kill The Car Forum?” The answer is more complicated than you might think. Back to the question at hand. Even if you didn’t use forums in their heyday, there’s a good chance you stumbled across a relevant a message board thread via Google searching.

Buick fanatics are a lovely bunch. A few years ago, this site’s executive editor and I visited the Buick GS Nationals in Bowling Green, Kentucky for a weekend soaked in Saturn Yellow. There, we discovered the dedication and obsession unique to the performance-minded, luxury-leaning manufacturer that bridges General Motors’ price gap between Chevrolet and Cadillac. Nobody puts this middle child in the corner.
