SANDTASTIC!

Dangle the opportunity to put the hammer down on more than a dozen square miles of the largest coastal dune complex in the world, add in partying with family and friends at sand camps, spice it up a bit with a variety of motorsport competition and nightly concerts, and it's easy to see why the five-day

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Chevord

While he was covering the 1955 Bonneville National Speed Trials, Petersen Publishing photographer Bob D'Olivo ran across Gary Guinn's yellow '33 Ford coupe.

THE BIG TOP

In the January issue, we featured Gray Baskerville's '32 Roadster. In that article, we heaped praise on Gray for his witty and engaging writing style, so this month, we present two examples written from his early tenure at HRM. Both these features appeared in the February 1979 issue, and both are replete with Gray's signature humor and clever turns-of-phrase. Though there's no writer credited for the single pager on the fiberglass '32, it's pretty obviously Gray.

Taking it to the Streets

Skateboarding is not a crime, but sliding a car is. Maybe the key to reducing arrests is giving hot-rodders a place to play.

White Light, White Heat

Fully weaponized SUVS are no longer an underground The Porsche Cayenne and the Aston Martin DBX 707 face off to see which is king of the high-riding wagons.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

THE 2023 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R SHARES OUR FAITH.

The World's Heaviest Minivan (Also, Its Fanciest)

To suggest that Jeep's seven- or eight-passenger Wagoneer L/ Grand Wagoneer L twins are elephantine is to libel pachyderms. Both vehicles boast seven newfound inches of wheelbase and 12.0 bonus inches overall, compared with what we now quite inadvisably call their short-wheelbase kinsfolk. We are here to make you smile.

BRINGING CONTRAST BACK TO THE LUXURY SEGMENT

Highs: So quiet, so smooth, so big. Lows: So expensive, so much like an S-class.

Comfortably Numb

Highs: Roomy interior, comfortable and quiet around town. Lows: Lazy acceleration, polarizing looks, pales next to more exciting competition.

Answered Prayer

Highs: Greater driver engagement, nearly as quick as the automatic, no additional cost. Lows: Not offered with the base four-cylinder, EPA fuel economy takes a hit.

High M-tensity

BMW's M4 CSL is the ultimate M car, and it’s not for the faint of heart.

The Great Capitulation

It was only 20 years ago that the Porsche Cayenne shocked the automotive world. An SUV from the preeminent sports-car maker seemed wildly incongruous in 2002. Today it's easier to list the few automakers that don't offer one for sale than those that do.
