My wife and I watched the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace a week or so ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. As you might guess from my frequent references to Bond, I am a fan of the franchise--and while...

The Infiniti G35 Coupe doesn't really fit in among my other objects of lust. It's not quirky, weird, or abjectly awful. It's not a big, bluff, anti-social muscle car. It's not a hatchback or a wagon. And it's not an...

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at the year that, for me, may be the finest year for Car Lust: the first year of the new millennium. For me, the year 2000 is the automotive equivalent of an All-You-Can-Eat Steak and Seafood Buffet...

Yes, this is Car Lust, not Cable Car Lust. But when do we ever limit this place to just cars? We've had trucks, motorcycles, intergalactic starships, an occasional notable model year or few, and even some other cool stuff from time to time. So maybe...

No, not that one, the great New York-to-Seattle race of 1909! What's that? You mean you never even heard of the great New York-to-Seattle race? True, it's not exactly a household name these days, but as this is the centenary of the race, we really...
