Heading to SEMA this year will be one of the more refreshing small startup car companies we’ve seen in a long time. Strickland Motor Co. plans to eschew the modern trend of cyberpunk EV restomods for something far more traditional and enthusiast-minded: a V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive wagon with a manual transmission. The Strickland SpeedWagon R is, on paper at least, everything enthusiasts say we want.
Mercedes’ Bizarre X-Ray Vision Ad Campaign Wows The Internet
Sometimes automakers come up with clever, albeit bizarre, ways to advertise features, like how Mercedes-Benz is showcasing its Intelligent Light System. But some find the images of a cow and another featuring a deer, each portrayed through “X-ray vision” to be creepy or downright off-putting. Check out this bizarre ad campaign from Daimler.

The last car owned by the great Elvis Presley, this 1977 Cadillac Seville by Fisher is of incredible historical significance. It’s also up for auction online right now, so if you want a piece of memorabilia on wheels from The King of Rock himself, this might be it. A Days of Thunder sequel is reportedly in the works.

Land Cruiser Built by Toyota’s New Accessories Arm Is Something Else
Toyota Customizing & Development Co., Ltd. (TCD) is a sub-company of Toyota that’s “engaged in the fields of accessories and installation, vehicle conversion, and motorsports.” The TRD brand you might know is under its umbrella, as well as another one less familiar to Americans: Modellista.

Alleged Car Thief Commented On Facebook Posts From Dealership Trying To Track Him Down
When you get away with a crime, it’s generally encouraged that you actually get away — don’t dawdle around at the scene making faces at the victims until the cops show up.
