La Fleur de Citroen—Our Fresh Spring Tee, Now in the BaT Gear Store You Should Know

Byjustpastevehicles

Forget what the groundhog says—real ones know spring by the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. March 21 is the day when our planet’s equator pulls up on plane with its local yellow dwarf star, and for the next several months, the days will be longer than the nights on the top half of the globe. This is cause for celebration, and we’re observing the occasion by introducing a bold new design in the BaT Gear Store—the Citroen Floral graphic tee!

Like Persephone, the goddess of spring, the arrival of our beautiful Déesse is heralded with flowers. Its egg-like curves promise the rebirth of the driving season. The shirt is 100% cotton, ring-spun and garment-dyed, with a durable screenprinted graphic and a subtle Bring a Trailer wordmark among the blooms.

In case the florid language didn’t clue you in, we’re very excited about this design, and expect that sales will be brisk. Get the Citroen Floral tee for $30.00 US in the BaT Gear Store. Unisex sizes Small–3XL are available, and the price includes shipping within the 50 United States.

    Byjustpastevehicles

    BaT events continue to be the highlights of our year! Since our first Alumni Gathering in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2018, our events have grown in both variety and scale. To date, we’ve hosted more than 50 Alumni Gatherings and Meet-Ups, along with many appearances at concours, races, and other enthusiast events around the world. It’s always great to meet the folks behind the usernames and ogle at the broad swath of impressive machinery that tends to show up to these gatherings. Our 2026 event season has been busier than ever, and we’re cooking up even more opportunities to bring the BaT community together. We’re pleased to announce the next three events of 2026:

    We’ll be sponsoring the 70th anniversary of the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance in Burlingame, California. Over the decades, the Concours has brought a plethora of vintage iron together, making it “the longest continually running Concours in the world” according to the organizers. If you’re attending, visit our big-top on the fairway of the Crystal Springs Golf Course, where we’ll feature a trio of enthusiast cars and hand out free giveaways. It’s happening on Sunday, June 28, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, and additional details can be found here. Grab your tickets now! BaT users can get $10 off their Sunday tickets by entering code BAT26 at checkout—available for the first 200 tickets sold. We hope to see you there!
    We’re coming to the Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway on July 11 for a BaT gathering with Local Partner @911r of the Avant-Garde Collection in Portland, Oregon. We’ll have a large area for enthusiasts to display their interesting vehicles, and BaT staff will be on hand with giveaways and plenty of good company. Please note that you’ll have to register to display your vehicle.
    Join us a week later for the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend festivities in downtown Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. BaT is the Title Sponsor for this year’s Race Car Parade on Friday, July 17 and the Road America Concours d’Elegance on Saturday, July 18. Both events run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, and you can visit our tent to enjoy giveaways, great camaraderie, and a compelling array of special cars. We’ll also have a large tent at Turn 5 at Road America throughout the weekend.

    Road & Track Road Tests: Günter’s Giant Rabbit You Should Know

    Byjustpastevehicles

    A couple of weeks ago, we shared Car and Driver’s first review of the Porsche 928, so this week we’re chasing it with something related—sorta. Here is Road & Track’s feature on the outrageous “Super Rabbit” from their December 1979 issue, written by G. Leyrer and contributing artist Mark Stehrenberger with photography by Hans Peter Seufert. The subject at hand was a Golf/928 mashup that required very little sanity and a whole lot of work.

    Günter Artz was a visionary occasionally branded a madman, and for good reason. Throughout the 1970s and ’80s, Artz and his Hannover-based team at Autohaus Nordstadt delivered a string of wild creations, including a Porsche Carrera-powered Beetle. At the time, the Golf 928 (which had grown several waist sizes compared to a stock Rabbit) was his latest opus.

    sludgo’s Mile Markers: Mile 202 You Should Know

    This is Part Two of a three-part series. Click the link to read Part One.
    It had been a glorious NoDak autumn Saturday morning for twelve-year-old me. I’d woken to a gorgeous orange-red sunrise and the cool prairie breeze drifting across my face as it blew through my opened window. All the birds outside were merrily greeting the day in song, all the robins and wrens and sparrows and meadowlarks and mourning doves, even the peacocks and ducks and geese and swans calling out from over at the Deaf School pond. I’d jumped out of bed and into my routine early, stripping off my pajamas and putting on my weekend duds before pouring myself a heaping bowlful of Lucky Charms then parking out on the living room couch to watch cartoons on our big thirty-six inch color console RCA. Four hours later—after Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner and the Jetsons and Scooby-Doo and Josie and the Pussycats and Archie and then Fat Albert—it was noontime and the Lucky Charms were long gone and I was hungry again so I’d decided to hop on my StingRay and ride across town to Grandma Lettie’s to see if she’d make me one of her world-famous fried bologna and Miracle-Whip sandwiches but when I got there she wasn’t home. Figured I’d wait for her a bit and headed out to her backyard to climb Big Olie, the giant oak she’d planted as a sapling fifty years ago when she first bought the house, but as I walked up to Olie’s trunk, I glanced across the way at Old Man Granger’s place and noticed something interesting—the walk-in door to his garage was ever-so-slightly ajar. Hm.
