Wind cheaters on display
A new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles looks at the evolution of aerodynamics in automobiles, from funky early designs to the latest streamliners. Check out: Sleekness.

Old racers never die
Here’s a cool vintage-racing site that I just stumbled upon, which calls itself “A Celebration of Classic Motorsport.” Good stories, historic photos and lots of old-stock video. Check out: Way Back Machine.

40 is the new 30
Edmunds.com zeroes in on cars that claim 40 miles per gallon on the highway. Do they really make the cut? Check out: Anti-gas.

Long and winding road
A video compilation of cool-car sightings on the famous Mulholland Highway near Malibu, including Jay Leno in a spectacular vintage Bugatti. Check out: Great cars.

Still mutating
Read the report in the Sacramento Bee about the automotive freak show entitled “Mutant Rides: Origin of a Species,” a wacky art-car exhibit now at the usually staid National Automobile Museum in Reno. Check out: Crazy cars.

Hot and hot
Hot Cars, Hot Babes is the name of this web site specializing in guess what. Check out: Burning Up.

Young love
A vintage Dodge Charger commercial that turns into a geek’s dream scenario. Check out: Muscle Car Hookup.
