Long before muscle cars were a cultural phenomenon, the Oldsmobile Super 88 was already capturing the hearts of performance enthusiasts. While the 1949 model ignited their passion, it was the 1953 Super 88 that truly demanded attention. Brothers Bill and Bob Glazier, two such enthusiasts, yearned for something more than...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

In my three and a half decades of car ownership, I have almost always opted to drive an older vehicle with character rather than something new with lots of modern bells and whistles. My roster of vehicles owned includes Jeep CJ5s and CJ7s from between 1976 and 1979, a 1978 4x4 International Harvester Scout, a 1976 Jeep Wagoneer, a 1964 Plymouth Valiant convertible, a 1984 XJ Jeep Cherokee, and three '80s and '90s YJ Wranglers. While it's not quite old or distinctive enough to be considered a true "classic," my current vehicle — a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder — is now a quarter of a century past its date of manufacture.

Toyota has issued a major recall of its twin-turbocharged V-6 engines powering the 2022 and 2023 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX SUVs. Engines produced between late 2021 and early 2023 might have machining debris left in the engine; causing engine knocks or, worse cases, a spun bearing and complete engine stall. At first, Toyota was unsure how many engines were contaminated, but now, months later, the solution is to replace more than 100,000 engines.

Used cars have been a real headache for buyers, as new car prices have pushed used models into the stratosphere in rarity and cost. That trend is more dramatic with some vehicles than others, however, as iSeeCars’ recent study found that some used models saw significant market share growth, and the increase is relatively closely correlated with their price.

Lifelong friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were quite a team on The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired on CBS from 1960 to 1968. In 1965, Knotts left the series (to make big-screen movies), which later transitioned into Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over the lead from Griffith.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.
