Who doesn’t love a family vacation? You pack the kids into the family truckster, plan a route to a tourist trap five states away, and set off into parts unknown, hopping between hotels and motels on the way. Of course, the erudite approach is to skip the truckster and the accommodations and roll them into one — the vaunted Recreational Vehicle. But RVs are slow, cumbersome, inconvenient. Right?

Well, not all of them. This 1977 GMC motorhome can top 120 miles per hour in a straight line, provided you’ve got the room to let its nitrous-injected 700 horsepower V8 punch that squared-off body through the air. Oh, and .

It may not be the quickest vehicle off the line, but it claims to be the fastest Class A motorhome in the world. That speed isn’t easy to get — the RV has been modified from tip to tail for its purpose. Aero mods, new suspension and drivetrain, upgraded brakes, even the interior’s been stripped out and replaced with race seats. Oh, and did I mention it has a roll cage?

You could argue that, since the home parts of this motorhome have been sacrificed at the altar of lightness, it’s no longer really a motorhome. I, however, would argue that going over 120 at Bonneville counts as recreation — making this still a recreational vehicle. Does this line of thinking also make a motorcycle an RV? Yes, but I’m sticking to my guns here.

If you’re interested in the world’s fastest RV, it’s . The seller’s asking $95,000, which actually isn’t a bad price for an RV — they . So what do you say? Want to make that next road trip in record time?

At $22,000, Canadian, Could This 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 Be A 2020 Vision?

There’s probably no more iconic car than the ill-fated DeLorean DMC-12, and while today’s edition doesn’t look safe enough to hit anything close to 88 miles per hour, it’s the price might just make it an icon worth working on. Old Volvos like the we closed out the old...

At $5,000, Would You Ring In The New Year With This 1974 Volvo 140?
At $5,000, Would You Ring In The New Year With This 1974 Volvo 140?
There’s a lot going on with today’s Volvo. We’ll just have to see if its price means it also “has got it going on.” Here’s a sobering fact—BMW offers twenty-two distinct body styles here in the U.S. today, and none of those are station wagons. If you want a...

The Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Is A Car Without A Case
The Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Is A Car Without A Case
The 2019 Ford Fusion plug-in hybrid is decent looking and comfortable enough to ride in. It’s also expensive and not particularly efficient. Ford’s “pivot to trucks” is a real bummer for car enthusiasts in general, but I don’t think anybody’s going to miss this one. (Ford lent me the Fusion...

The 2009 Bertone Mantide Concept Looks Like It's From 2029 And Now It Can Be Yours
Chevrolet’s C6 Corvette ZR1 was a gem of an automobile with supercar-beating power, grip for days, carbon ceramic brakes, and a 200+ mph top speed. The only thing it’s missing is cachet. It just looks like a Corvette. It doesn’t have fancy butterfly doors or flying buttresses, or a-pillar...

What Are We Going To Do About This High-Mile $1,500 Plymouth Voyager With A Five-Speed And The Best Interior
What Are We Going To Do About This High-Mile $1,500 Plymouth Voyager With A Five-Speed And The Best Interior
To take a frumpy 1980s Mopar minivan with a stick shift and drive the living hell out of it is . But somehow as 2019 wraps up, it’s still a relevant one. I had sort of thought that all of these cars had been junked or turbo-swapped and hooned...

Germany Is Full Of Diesel Manual Chrysler Minivans And They Are Dirt Cheap
Germany Is Full Of Diesel Manual Chrysler Minivans And They Are Dirt Cheap
Today I bring you a revelation: Germany is chock-full of absurdly cheap equipped with two coveted features never offered in the U.S.: a manual transmission and a diesel engine. Yes, I’m talking about the torquey and fuel efficient glory of a compression engine bolted to fun-to-drive transmission, all encapsulated...
