    A Pilot Sponsored By Red Lion Gasoline Decided He Should Make A Real Lion His Co-Pilot - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Celebrity in the 1930s was different from celebrity today. In early 1930, celebrity pilot Roscoe Turner and Gilmore Oil set a transcontinental flight record aboard the Lockheed Express, making the run from New York to Los Angeles in just 18 hours, 42 minutes. At the time Gilmore Gasoline was branded as "red lion," touting the fuel as giving your car's engine more "roar." A flamboyant showman, Turner convinced the owner of a lion farm to donate a cub for the record attempt. The 3-week-old cub he

    5 Motorcycles Faster Than Honda's CBR1100XX, Once The Fastest Factory Bike Ever Built - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Honda launched the revolutionary CBR1100XX, the 178 mile per hour superbike colloquially nicknamed Super Blackbird after the Lockheed SR-71 spy plane, it completely changed the trajectory of the motorcycle industry. Particularly in Japan, bikemakers started targeting outright top speed as the new metric of performance. Compared to everything that came before it, the CBR1100XX pushed the envelope of motorcycle aerodynamics, handling, and acceleration. The Blackbird was an instant sales smash

    What Are You Doing To Budget For High Fuel Prices Right Now? - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I remember when I got my driver's license and the first tank of gasoline I pumped into the tank of my 250,000-mile 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix SE cost just 96 cents per gallon. My parents paid me an allowance at the time for the work I did around the family farm at a rate of $20 per week. In addition to my minimum-wage job washing dishes at a local greasy spoon, I was practically rolling in cash for a 15-year-old. Now I'm forty, and I paid over $8 per gallon for diesel in California last week. That

    Here's How My 15-Year-Old Porsche Cayenne Held Up To 10,000 Miles Of Driving In 16 Days - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I love a good road trip, and I'm not going to shy away from long miles (kilometers?) in the driver's seat. When a friend asked if I'd like to accompany him on the 2026 running of the famed Alcan 5000 rally across Canada and Alaska, it was the work of mere moments to agree to the trip and offer my old Porsche Cayenne Diesel as our shared steed for the event. It's comfortable, offers plenty of ground clearance and visibility, and it positively sips fuel compared to its gasoline-powered counterpart

    Why Hasn't America Produced An International Racing Legend In At Least 30 Years? - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Many years have passed since the greatest drivers in the world counted at least a few Americans amongst them. Long gone are the days of immigrant legend Mario Andretti, F1 champ Phil Hill, and the revered Dan Gurney; there have been just four Americans in Formula 1 in my lifetime (I was born in 1987). Mario Andretti was the last American to win in F1, and both his son and grandson have already retired from racing. Heck, an American hasn't won the Le Mans 24 overall since Davy Jones won with the
