The dirt roads leading up to the summit of Pikes Peak may be gone, but we can still enjoy classic runs of the legendary hillclimb.

The only thing more impressive than Tyson Hugie's collection of clean, mid-'90s Acuras is the garage he keeps them in.

Styled like a period-correct Acura dealership, the garage—and everything in it—might be the closest you can get to stepping onto a dealer lot a quarter-century in the past.

The Concours d'Lemons has repeatedly made a name for itself as the go-to event for the unusual, the ugly and the ultimately not-so-good of the automotive world.

Prizes are available for all class winners, with the top winner—Worst in Show—receiving a $1000 eBay Motors gift card and a full Griot's Garage detailing kit.

For more information and how to enter, visit the Concours d'Lemons page on the Hagerty Community website. Entries close on July 20.

Collecting Hot Wheels is cool, but what about turning up the dial to 11 by modifying them?

This video shows how to turn a pedestrian Porsche Carrera into an elaborate mini-model of an RWB-style 911. Perhaps it’s something to inspire our forum’s unofficial model car contest.

Video: A Swedish Take on a JDM-Influenced C4 Corvette
Posted by Colin Wood on July 2, 2020, 9:19 a.m. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GAX9U5Wi_1E

Sweden may be the country associated with churning out safe and sensible Volvos, but it's also the home to the speed freaks at Koenigsegg and this outlandish "JDM-inspired" C4 Corvette.

A big wing, a set of big flares and a big personality is what sets this Corvette apart from most on the road. As soon as things clear up, maybe it would be worth checking out the Scandinavian car scene in person.
