The six best/worst words in the English language: “Bro, keep it at my house.”A good friend regularly eggs me on to buy something new. My reality: I’m happy with what’s in the garage. And that garage is full thanks to a Miata, M3 and 911. Our Civic Si lives in the driveway. Of course, I’m regularly tempted. After all, who isn’t? Are you equally haunted by these missed opportunities? I have six in particular that still make me wonder what would have happened if I actually went for it.

By David S. Wallens Jun 13, 2025 | Ram | Never miss a review Trucks, like all vehicles, run on math. But Truck Math is special math. How’s that? Some possible examples: Payload vs. economy over MSRP. Towing capacity divided by selling price multiplied by seating capacity. Purchase price minus expected selling price divided by both number of USB plugs and gross vehicle weight–then factor in recharge times.

Some classic cars are later converted into vintage race cars. This Lotus Europa, on the other hand, is simply a longtime race car that’s become vintage with age. Noted to be a race car since the 1970s, the Europa features a lightened body, adjustable suspension and an Accusump oil system. The car’s transaxle has been recently rebuilt, and a new fuel cell, fire bottle and safety belts have likewise been fitted.

By J.A. Ackley Jun 11, 2025 | Toyota, Toyota Camry | Never miss a review What’s wrong with me? Why am I going to miss this car? It’s just a rental. A base-model sedan to boot. No frills–and certainly more than a few scuffs. But one week with a 2025 Toyota Camry LE left me pleased with the experience. When I arrived at JFK, an overly cheerful rental agent walked me to the Camry. “Here you go. Enjoy!” she said in the most annoyingly enthusiastic voice possible.

How much for a mid-engine Italian classic with a one-off body? Try less than $55,000. In 1983, this Maserati Merak was fitted with a one-of-a-kind, hand-formed, all-aluminum body penned by Swiss coachbuilder Paul Saurer. During that time, the car was also fitted with a staggered set of Gotti three-piece wheels. Under the care of the current owner, who acquired the car in 2014, the Merak has received over £30,000 (about $41,000) of servicing and maintenance.
