Another Monterrey Car Week has come and gone, along with the fantastic array of classic vehicles and futuristic concepts strutting their stuff on the golf course green by the sea. Many car enthusiasts dream of attending such a lush event, though few think they’d ever be able to walk away with a new car. Those auctions are for Duesenbergs and Bugattis and things like that, right? Wrong.

Jennifer Lopez‘s fans couldn’t fault her killer figure as she slipped into a skintight evening dress last winter, but some did wonder if the 55-year-old should have shown a little less skin. In November 2023, JLo put on a leggy display in an impossibly clingy gown boasting both sheer paneling and a thigh slit, with the photos also marking another public appearance with now-ex, Ben Affleck.

Hagerty reported this year’s Monterey Car Week auction sales are down 3% from 2023. However, does that mean the sky’s falling? Not necessarily. Let’s dig deeper. In 2022, the auctions brought in a record $471.2 million in sales. Last year was $403.3 million. This year was $391.6 million. Maybe it’s sign of a slow return to values before the pandemic. However, the average sales per year over the course of the past decade was $367.5 million. That makes 2024’s sales about 6.6% above the 10-year average. That’s still not too shabby.

I have not bought a Craftsman Tool in over three years. My last Craftsman Tool purchase was an impact wrench that I found on sale with a seasonal coupon that was just too good of a deal to pass on at the time. While the impact wrench has served me—as the old saw goes—“Good enough for Government work”, I know now that I could have done better with a Harbor Freight model that tested better for less money.

In the final shot of Raiders of the Lost Ark, we see the Ark of the Covenant packed away in a crate and pushed into the depths of a vast warehouse, hidden away forever. What other treasures are tucked away in anonymity? We may never now. What we are about to discover, however, is what happens when the automotive version of that warehouse gets cracked open to public view for the first time.

When it comes to vehicle features, few have names as eye catching as "suicide doors." The doors, which are hinged backward and open the opposite way to a standard door, are a bold stylistic choice that can add a touch of elegance (and arguably a sense of danger) to a vehicle. If you're wondering why they're called suicide doors, the answer is simple: the name is based on the perceived danger that comes with hinging a door at the back. If said door is a bit heavy — and a malfunction happens that causes the door to swing open — grabbing the handle in an attempt to close it could result in a driver or passenger being yanked out of the moving car and onto the road. If this were to happen, the door in question is also likely to hit them and ultimately see them off.

A 1966 Corvette Stingray, a car that traversed the 2,266-mile expanse between Hollywood, California, and Wayne, Michigan twice before its final resting place, is part of an extraordinary three-car collection. Sharing its garage since the early 70s is an untouched 1973 Corvette, while a 1949 DeSoto has held its position between the two sports cars for nearly half a century.
