Ode to a Benz
An unusual find on a computer-nerd website: the owner of a vintage Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing waxes poetic on video about the joys of owning – and driving – an automotive masterpiece. Check out: Gullwing Obession.

Training day

Wine-country fun
This week in Sports Car Digest, a report and lots of vintage-racing photos from the recent Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival at Sears Point Raceway. Check out: Old Cars Racing.

Hatchet job
Jaguar proudly released a video of men with axes tearing into a full-size scale clay design model of an XF sedan. Bonus: a bluesy soundtrack. Check out: Chop Chop.

Girls in cars
A collection of well-produced videos that explore sexy women’s reactions to being blasted around the track in super-fast cars. Check out: Scream and Scream Again.
