It’s not as uncommon as you might think for a car to exceed 300,000 miles. For our YouTube used car buying escapades, we’ve ended up owning several vehicles that have managed it, notably Miles the Skoda Octavia and a half-million mile Audi…

If you grew up playing the first Gran Turismo or early polygonal games like Battlezone, or even just like the low-polygon-count aesthetic, there’s a car for you. Of course, it’s not a mass-produced machine. It’s the limited-production United Nude Lo-Res, and it’s…

Most cars are depreciating assets that lose half their value as soon as you drive them off the lot. Yet some have proven to have such an important history in auto racing or elsewhere that they can appreciate—occasionally surpassing tens of millions…
