Car Throttle

Sorry ladies, it turns out your car mad boyfriends love their cars more than they love you, according to the RCZ study by Peugeot.

Tough call between this girl and that RCZ. Both win in my book.

The study shows that millions of British men, mostly guys from the South East and the West Midlands, find it much easier to look after their cars compared to looking after their women and that nearly a third of young men spend much more time looking for the perfect car instead of the perfect woman in their lives. They would even prefer to spend their money on their ride instead of buying you gifts and meals out! I sense an imminent attack of girl power coming... It's not just your

They say that celebrities are "just like us". Aside from the fact that many have recognisable faces, assets or voices, it's fair to say that by definition they also have more wonga than us ordinary Joes, which means they can pretty much buy whatever cars they want. Some of their choices are fantastic, some of their choices may surprise you and some of their choices are just plain stupid in my opinion. Here are 20 stars and their recent choice of cars: 1. Charlie Sheen

The Mercedes S Class has to be one of the coolest cars ever since this man owns several of them. He also has a BMW X5 and a Maserati GranCabrio. Winning! 2. P Diddy Seen here

One of the greatest freedoms afforded to Americans is the road-trip. I've covered my own road adventures here on CarThrottle in great detail before (here, here, and here) and it's absolutely one of my favorite things to do (at least that I can write about here on this family-friendly site!).  So this obviously brings us to our latest edition of CarThrottle Asks as we head into the spring/summer travel seasons.  If money were no object, what would be your ideal road-trip vehicle? On the lower, more practical end of things, I'd have to spring for a brand-spankin'-new Jetta TDI SportWagon.  Having put about 75,000 miles on a MKV-chassis VW Jetta over the course of 4 years, I can attest that they're simply fantastic

Traffic jams. For some who live or travel through big cities (or even in smaller ones these days), traffic jams are a fact of life. But have you ever thought of them as art? Me neither. Spanish artist Maider López has though, and the results are pretty interesting.  Its one thing for there to be traffic jams on urban highways and crowded city streets, but what about in the picturesque countryside of Spain? That just doesn't happen. In 2005 López put out a call to people willing to take part and create art. (Corny - I know). The response was great, with 400 people and 160 automobiles lending themselves and their cars to the effort. The whole exercise was to be an "exhibit" at the Laboral Centro de

Some days I sit back at my laptop, scratch my head and ask "why do I do this?" Everyone has days like that with their job.  Self-doubt, self-pity, frustration - whatever you want to call it.  But there's gotta be a reason why we put so much time and effort into our small little corner of the internet here, and lately I've been pondering that.  After all, if one thing's clear, it's that we're here for the cars.  But why am I (and my fellow writers as well) obsessed with these cold, mechanical, expensive depreciating assets? It's hardly logical.  Even from a practical standpoint, cars suck.  It's not like horses - treat it right, do the proper maintenance, and a $3,000 horse can become a $30,000 horse

We'll now continue on my previous post covering the AACA's largest East-Coast show, the Charlotte AutoFair. There's a lot of metal to drool over, so let's get going! I'm sure Paul can set me straight on the year and specifics, but this was one absolutely stunning DeSoto.  This brand as a whole ceased to exist some time during 1960, but it used to be one of the shining stars in Chrysler's empire of brands.  The two-tone aqua and white paint scheme is charming. Here's a mint 1996 Chevrolet Corvette GranSport - the last of the line for the C4's.  This model came with the high-output version of the iron block LT-1 V8, dubbed the LT4 - which was higher compression, higher revving, and better breathing.  This
