Anyone familiar with Adam Carolla and his CarCast program knows the admiration he has for Paul Newman. A lifelong car enthusiast,
Carolla wrote a rather large check last year— for a reported $4.8M—to purchase a very special 935. Though any 935 is worth a mention, this particular example was raced to
class victory by his hero at Le Mans in 1979. The classic Hawaiian Tropic-liveried monster might sit in the showrooms of some more sensible collectors, but Carolla's a racer, and with plenty of gusto, decided to test his mettle with his toy at the Rolex Monterey Historics this year.

STYLED GO-KART IS WORTH A LOOK |
|
|
Getting your hands on a bonafide IMSA-spec 962 will cost a pretty penny, but for those of us not able to come up with the cash required, there's something which might evoke some of the same emotion the iconic sportscar could for a relative bargain.

THIS LATEST RWB BUILD FROM PARKHAUS MAY GIVE HATERS PAUSE |
|
|
Polarizing: to break into opposing factions or groupings. That's how Merriam-Webster defines the word. I can't think of any other Porsche "customizer" that polarizes our community more than Nakai-San and his Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB) body kits. From talking with Porsche owners and fans, and we've spoken to a lot
of them, when it comes to RWB there seems to be no middle ground. You either love the look or you hate it.
