The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition owned by Bryan Banks burst into flames on June 8.

Only one of 12 built, I took a ride in the massive 1939 Futurliner back in 2021, which was a good time. Few vehicles turn heads like General Motors's Futurliner. Built in the 1930s, the fleet of a dozen streamliners showcased American industrial might and GM's technological prowess. They toured across North America, taking a break for WWII, with the fleet of buses parked for good after 1956. From there, each Futurliner had its own journey to eventual restoration, dilapidation, or obscurity.
