You loved our Bullitt podcast, so we present another movie: The Fast and the Furious. Four staffers air their viewpoints on this cinematic event, which was formative for many BaT community members under “a certain age”; they discuss favorite cars, missing cars, terrible shifting, worse jargon, fender stickers, underglows, 10s in 2001, and more.

12/18 Update: A friendly reminder that Gear Store merchandise ordered by Friday, December 19 is scheduled to arrive before Christmas. If you’ve got your eye on something, now’s the time to snag it!
We celebrate motoring in all of its forms here at BaT, but there are other things to celebrate this time of year (or so we’ve heard). That’s why we’ve developed a new collection of eminently gift-able Bring a Trailer-branded merch to give to your friends and loved ones, whether you’re celebrating in an age-old tradition or you just like them a lot. Our new selection of goodies is below, and all are now on sale in the BaT Gear Store! Items ordered by December 19 should arrive in time for Christmas within the 50 United States.
You’re undoubtedly hearing all sorts of crooning about it being “the most wonderful time of the year,” but that’s only part of the story—here on BaT, the “weird” quotient is pretty high too. Today we have assembled a motley gang of beauties, oddballs, scofflaws, and backroad brawlers for your amusement, and wildly enough, it’s only a small percentage of the truly interesting auctions we had to choose from. The rest of them can be found over on our Live Auctions page, where you have our full permission to spend unlimited time, even if you’re on the clock. Just let us know if you need a note for your boss.
12/23 Update: We have a winner!
The 10th round of this year’s Michelin and BFGoodrich tire giveaway is officially on the books. Over 100 of you took to the ballot box, and every contestant received a healthy measure of love from the beginning. But the Toyota pickup was quick to take the lead and kept it up until the end, even with the Miata nipping at its heels. Congratulations to its new owner, @Fredand5kids!
Amid rolling green pastureland west of Stuttgart rises a series of gleaming white blocks known to Porschephiles around the globe as the Weissach Development Centre. Since 1962, this has been the place where Porsche has refined their most legendary street and race cars, and pushed them to their limits. This holiday season, BaT power seller and Local Partner Wob is bringing us the Weissach Winter Wonderland Collection, a twelve-car group of Porsche’s finest bedecked in a wintry mix of colors.
Today, gathered members of the BaT community, we’re wishing you all plenty of holiday cheer. May your tanks be full, your engines firing on all cylinders, and your days spent rocking around the Christmas tree (or a 1962 Lotus Elite, if you prefer). A few housekeeping items below:
We’re coming to you with last week’s edition of the Weird and Wonderful one (business) day late, esteemed BaT readers. Even in an abbreviated work week, there were plenty of interesting vehicles to choose from. As always, the list below merely scratches the surface. So if you didn’t get those particular socks that you were quietly hoping for, then head over to our live auctions page to cheer up with some more vicarious living.
Happy Holidays to one and all! Alex, Randy, Beck, and Tyler discuss Hanukkah gifting strategies, holiday road trips in order of escalating insanity, movie-adjacent cars, wood paneling connoisseurship, ghosts of American car brands past, drift missiles, stalker Eagles, and generational headlight trauma.
The year 2025 is now in our rearview mirror. As we look back at another in a string of banner years for BaT, we want to take a moment to thank those we owe for our continued success: every member of the hard-working BaT staff and the buyers, sellers, and commenters that make up an enthusiast community that is unique the world over. This place wouldn’t be the same without any of you.
