Greatest old cars
The 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is just around the corner, so here’s its official website, which is well worth a visit. The Florida event has turned into one of the top concours in the U.S., sort of an East Coast rendition of Pebble Beach. Check out: Island Cruise.

Fastest delivery
Five iconic American muscle cars have been immortalized on forever stamps from the U.S. Postal Service. Check out: Muscle Cars Forever!

Vertical challenge
Although Chevy Vegas have been assigned to the rust heap of bad cars from the 1970s, they do provide an interesting lesson in rail-transportation innovation. Check out: Nice Rack.

The high road
Our friends at Autoweek turned us on to this CNN video that looks into the murky world of how smoking marijuana affects driving skills. The unsurprisingly result: the more the drivers get ripped, the more ragged their driving gets. Check out: Reefer Madness.

Euro babes
A gallery of lovely European models from last month’s Brussels, Belgium, auto show. Check out: Bonjour, mon Amour.

Flipped off
This video’s been getting lots of attention, but in case you’ve missed it, here it is: a Mini John Cooper Works executing the perfect backflip. Really. Check out: Why Ask Why?

Redneck rules
In honor of the new SPEED program R U Faster Than a Redneck? comes this latest little something from the rural motoring lifestyle. In this dramatic episode, we see a new Ford F-150 Raptor off-road pickup take an insane flying leap. It does not end well. Check out: Rebel Yells.
