This Ferrari was built from a hodgepodge of parts and competed in both JGTC and IMSA. 

South Korea's automotive legacy may not be as rich as, say, Czechoslovakia's, but don't tell collector Baek Joong-gil that. Not to his face, anyway. He might be behind the wheel of one of his five hundred cars, which includes such rarities as the Kia T-600 (Kia's first car, built under license from Mazda in 1963); the Cadillac Fleetwood of former president Park Chung-hee; and Korea's oldest fire truck. Many of his cars have been designated as cultural assets. "My dream is to open a museum and display my collection," said the Korean Jay Leno, who has yet to helm his own late-night talk show.

-- Hooniverse explores a gorgeous Ferrari race car that's…uh, what is it? A 308? A GTO? A Mondial? You got GTO in my 308! You got Mondial in my GTO! The results are delicious.

-- Dan Gurney, that Dan Gurney, comments on the passing of his former boss Jack Brabham: "a fierce competitor, an outstanding engineer, a tiger of a driver...a doer, a true Aussie pioneer!" Gurney raced against Brabham from 1959 to 1963, when "Black Jack" hired Gurney to drive the car he had built himself. They went their separate ways in 1966, but just a few months ago Gurney called Brabham to catch up. They would have both celebrated the French Grand Prix at Rouen on June 28, 1964, "which I won for the team 50 years ago this summer," noted Gurney.

-- Bring A Trailer has an Abarth 750 Vignale Goccia Experimentale, which is not a gnocchi experimentale, which is what happens when someone tries to make cup-shaped pasta with aji amarillo. Remember the Tortoise? Ever wanted an Italian version that resembles an early-2000s computer mouse? You can spend $460,000 for a piece of Mille Miglia history, then have fun explaining what it is to gas station attendants and watching the blood run down their nostrils.

-- C'mon, Russia, get it together. More dashcam footage shows the resilience of the Russian people in the face of unerring common sense, bounding across vehicular hazards like Wile E. Coyote with a malfunctioning ACME device. For every Crimean show of force, there's a guy drunkenly falling out of a van at noon on a Tuesday.
