There have been many road-legal track cars over the years, but usually driving a car that’s designed for the track means you sacrifice a lot in terms of daily-drivability, comfort, and refinement. Maserati just unveiled its upcoming road-legal track car the GT2 Stradale, and alongside the usual news about increased power and decreased weight, Maserati’s CEO Davide Grasso says it is intended for everyday driving, and guarantees optimal comfort and advanced ADAS functions.

Yee-haw! RUF channels its inner American to unleash a carbon fibre, 4x4 monster. Skip 18 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. This is the RUF Rodeo. It is yet another example of why RUF – a bit like Alpina – remains an extraordinarily cool maker of automobiles, because what we have here is very clearly an old 911 designed and modified to run full pelt off-road.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

In the early 1960s, Pontiac was trying to find a new way to attract the youth market without involvement in competitive motorsports. John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee, and Bill Collins, along with a group of Pontiac engineers, crammed a 389 cubic-inch V8 into a midsize Tempest and took it to GM’s Milford Proving Ground. The Tempest was an instant hit, and would become the 1964 Pontiac GTO. First-year GTO production was slated to be 5,000 units, but more than 32,000 orders came in. The people at Oldsmobile wanted to cash in on the GTO’s success, so they created the 442 package for the Cutlass. The Oldsmobile 442 was named for the four barrel carb, four-speed transmission, and dual exhaust.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

However, it was the heyday of auto racing in the ‘50s and ‘60s that cemented the link for good.

Because the film was black-and-white, that car's paint— which we'd call brown today—wasn't identifiable. We'll remedy that right...
