This week’s piece on the Carrera Panamericana Lincoln brought up the dangers of racing on public roads, and no series in the history of motorsport better illustrated those perils than Group B Rally r...

Here we thought we’d sufficiently scoured the Internet for traffic jam photos of yesteryear, but of course the Los Angeles area has an endless supply of traffic jams, so there’s still plenty more pho...
According to captions that follow this photo around the Internet, we’re in Ferndale – specifically just west of the intersection of Nine Mile and Woodward – sometime during the Fifties. And if we che...
Why, yes, we have seen this intersection before – several times, in fact, but none of them as early as 1965, when this photo of downtown Barre was taken, according to the Vermont Landscape Change pro...
