1980 Volvocto for $2,250!

Dorothy had only to click her heels together to get back her to Kansas home. That probably wasn't as much fun as driving today's Lawrence-based Volvo, as I don't think Dot's shoes had a V8. A V8 engine will make anything better. Top Gear (the real one) put one on...

One is the Loneliest Number for $35,995!

In poker, one-of-a-kind means you'll probably lose your shirt. But in the game of chance, being one-of-a-kind can be a benefit, although you still could go home shirtless.

2011 Jaguar XJ: First Drive

This is the 2011 Jaguar XJ. It looks nothing like the XJ that came before it, or the XJ that came before that. Its interior is a temple to the word "shiny." Is this what Jaguar needs to move forward? Full Disclosure: Jaguar flew me to Los Angeles and put...
