‘Magnum PI’ Ferrari and ‘Back To The Future’ Delorean beaten by Toyotas
Here at Cars + Movies, we’re quite fond of Adam Carolla’s “The Car Show” on Speed TV. Fun cast, cool cars and overall pretty well done. It’s not Top Gear, but they’re finding a good pace and tone.

So… a Ferrari against the most vanilla car on the road today and... Read More

Only at the end do we understand why the driver was in... Read More
