    Here’s the Maserati Collection, from 1600veloce

    These four classic Maseratis come to us from @1600veloce, and span 14 years of production under two corporate parents. The cars sport designs that read like an automotive stylist hall of fame ballot—Frua, Gandini, Giugiaro—and that trace the transition from the svelte Italian styling of the 1960s into the angular response of the 1970s.

    This Week’s Weird and Wonderful—March 6, 2026 — Explained

    “May you live in interesting times,” said British statesman Joseph Chamberlain, though the saying is often attributed as an ancient Chinese curse. And at the end of another week in which it seems the world has been moving at 3x speed, we have come to offer you a brief respite from the madness—an escape into the world of petroliana obscura. Here you will find a small collection of unique vehicles that we consider “interesting” in a better sense, that is to say: fascinating and enjoyable. Of course, this is just a fraction of those that caught our eye, and an even smaller fraction of the ~900 auctions currently live on the site.

    sludgo’s Mile Markers: Mile 219 — Explained

    I hate flying. Hate it. Such a hassle. Fighting traffic to the airport and finding parking. Then waiting in line to check in. Then waiting in another line where they make you empty your pockets and take off your jacket and shoes and belt and put everything into a tub for screening before you’re pointed into the Whizbang 9000 Deluxe Hijacker Detector to dutifully assume the position. Then there’s that one last line to wait in along with the rest of the herd when you finally board the plane. Moo. I’d probably enjoy the experience more if I flew first class but the cheapskate in me chokes at the expense, remembering the Oldsmobile Man’s observation that the nose of the plane gets wherever you’re going just as fast as the tail does so the ‘complimentary’ cocktails and snacks and marginally wider and deeper seats really weren’t worth the extra scratch. But exactly two weeks ago, as I inched through the expansive first class section of my plane then wedged my behind into my more-than-snug aisle seat back in coach I began questioning Pop’s sage advice. I shook off the thought, though. Didn’t matter. My ticket was bought and paid for and I already had enough on my mind as I buckled in and switched my phone to Airplane Mode. I was heading to Arizona again. Down to the house in Sunset Acres one more time. But this time would be different than all the rest. Very different.

    A Look at sludgo’s Mile Markers: Mile 221

    This is Part Three of a three-part series. Click the links to read Part One, and Part Two.
    It was a warm and sunny June morning and I’d been home about a week and a half. I was out in the garage thinking I should take advantage of the weather and give Mom’s RAV4 a good wash because it needed it. Had gotten dusty sitting in front of the McBungalow since I got back and was still grimy and buggy from the trip, but just as I was getting motivated my phone rang. Saw it was the eldest so I picked up. Knew immediately by his voice that something was brewing. He pretended-normal for a minute, asking me all the usuals. How I was. What I’d been up to. If the dogs were okay. And I answered him with all the usuals. Fine. Not much. Yup. Then he paused and cleared his throat. Said he’d just gotten off a phone call from Grandma—the Beehive—and needed to talk to me about a couple things. So I walked over to my workbench and sat down on my shop stool. “Okeydoke, kiddo. Shoot.”
