This VL Walkinshaw Isn't Valuable Because It's Rare. It's Valuable Because Holden Never Finished Delivering It. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in South Australia sits a 1988 Holden Commodore that has covered twenty kilometres in thirty-eight years. Its bumper extensions — the deep front and rear pieces that make a Walkinshaw a Walkinshaw — are still sealed in their original factory packaging, never bolted to the car. The protective plastics meant to shield the seats during transport are still on the seats. This is not a restoration, and it is not a sympathetic recommissioning. It is a car that Holden Special Vehicles built, a
A Wichita Dealer Billed a Customer to Fix a Transmission It Never Touched and Sat on His Title for 500 Days. Now It's Closed. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In September of 2024, a man walked into Sunset Auto Sales on South Broadway in Wichita and bought a 2006 Ford Mustang GT as a gift for his daughter. He paid for the car. What he didn't get was the title. Without paperwork proving the dealer actually owned what it was selling, the family couldn't register the Mustang or legally drive it. That alone would be a rough start to car ownership. It got worse: the dealership also charged him to replace the transmission, then never touched the transmissio
The Internet Called It A 'Snitch Car' Patent. Ford's Filing Says Something Very Different. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in the comments under a story about a new Ford patent this week, a reader summed up the internet's mood in one furious paragraph: cars are about to start ratting out speeders to the police, and the country is sliding toward a surveillance state one dashboard sensor at a time. It's a great comment. It is also almost entirely wrong about what Ford actually filed. The patent in question, US 2024/0239352, titled "Systems and Methods for Detecting Speeding Violations," does describe a vehic
Lucid Just Recalled More Cars Than It Sold All Last Year — Because the Tail Lights Might Start a Fire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lucid Motors has now recalled more cars over a fire risk than it delivered in all of 2025. Read that math again. The company delivered 15,841 vehicles last year, its best year yet. The recall it just filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers 27,185 of them. That's not a rounding error. That's an entire record sales year, plus more, wrapped into one defect report. The easy headline here is another EV catches fire. That's not the real story. The real story is what this d
BMW Patented a Trunk Lid That Swallows Your Charging Cable — And That's Not Even the Interesting Part (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in Munich, a BMW engineer just solved a problem that has nothing to do with horsepower, range, or 800-volt architecture. It's the problem of a soggy, tangled charging cable rattling around loose in the trunk of an electric car. That sounds like a minor fix. It isn't. It's a small window into how automakers are quietly redrawing the line between "the car" and "the accessory" — and that line matters a lot more the next time somebody taps your bumper. On August 13, 2026, Germany's patent
