Beauty Salon
There’s a lot to lust after in Barrett-Jackson’s Salon Collection of high-end collector cars ready to earn big bucks at the Scottsdale auction in January. Check out: Top Dogs.

Animal at the wheel
Our endless fascination with dogs driving cars takes a major leap forward with this video from New Zealand showing the actual (?) training of dogs to drive. Check out: Driving Dogs.

Glory days
Since Lincoln’s latest advertising blitz is reaching into its past, here’s a funky Lincoln Continental video from 1966. Bonus: Relive the Cold War! Check out: Comrade Lincoln.

Crazy fast
A couple of videos from our pals at Autoweek show acceleration testing of the 1,244-horsepower Hennessey Venom GT. By the way, the Venom GT hits 124 mph (200 kph) in just under eight seconds on its way to 228 mph in less than 20 seconds. Check out: Too Hot.

Grazie Mille!
Another beautiful photo gallery from Sports Car Digest – a behind-the-scenes look at one of the world’s greatest vintage-car events, the Mille Miglia of Italy. Take a peek at the site’s other Mille Miglia galleries as well. Check out: Rally Royalty.

Booth babes
A photo gallery of some of the gorgeous models who adorn the Los Angeles Auto Show. Check out: Gotta Love LA.

That sucking sound
Loads of great and not-so-great videos, photos and audio rants await you at the aptly named website MyCarSucks.com. Sensitively alert: bad words aplenty. Check out: Take Your Pick.
