Motorcycle Auction Records: What’s the Limit & When Will it Be Broken?
A quick Google search says the current record for the most expensive motorcycle sold at auction is a 1908 Harley that went for $935,000. It’s believed to be one of only 12 “Strap Tank” motorcycles — so named because of the nickel-plated steel bands suspending the fuel tanks from the frame — in the entire world.

Concept Car vs. Production Car: Why the Huge Design Gap?
Many, many things, one of which is engineering problems. Take the Cadillac Cien as an example. Right from the start you’ll notice it doesn’t have any mirrors. Cadillac’s engineers probably figured they’d mess with the aerodynamics or whatever, but the real reason? They didn’t need to put them on. I mean, concept cars aren’t meant to be driven, right? They just need to look cool at an auto show. Half the time, you don’t even know if they actually work — manufacturers build them without going through all the real-world testing.

Why is my BMW stuck in limp mode?
Cruising around in your beloved BMW is fun, but sometimes you may feel like your car is barely moving, unresponsive, or stuck at low speed. Have you ever thought what can be the reason behind this? It's obvious that without any malfunctioning system, no vehicle behaves strangely, so it might probably be your car entering limp mode. Well, it's nothing but your BMW’s defense mechanism, which gets activated to protect your car by limiting the power to prevent further damage after detecting an issue. Even though it serves a purpose, it can be incredibly annoying—particularly during a drive. Thus, here are some common culprits that cause your BMW to enter limp mode.

The Muscle Car Famine: Why Production is Dwindling
Basically, the answer’s still the same: muscle cars are a niche market, and these days there are plenty of cheaper cars that make almost the same power. We don’t need massive 5–7 liter V8s to hit 500–600 HP anymore — smaller engines can handle it just fine.

High Demand, Low Supply: Why Isn’t Ford Reproducing the Iconic 1960s Mustang?
The main thing is, they don’t have the molds or dies for those old cars. Modern cars are designed and built using molds, and as far as I know, those dies get sold off or repurposed when a model is discontinued. You can’t just ask Ford to make another early 2000s Mustang — let alone one from the 1960s. That’s just not happening.

Why Aren’t More Cars Built With Retro Aesthetics?
Retro-inspired cars are tricky. Manufacturers have to get the balance just right — too little, and the retro vibe doesn’t come through; too much, and people might not be into it. I mean, would you buy a brand-new car with a throwback design? Some people love it, but not everyone. And since car companies are all about making money, they’ll only build what sells — which, for better or worse, usually means modern designs.

Will Ford Replace the Classic Mustang with an SUV for Good?
It's possible, but I don't think it will happen. The problem is branding. Ford positioned the Mustang as a muscle car (or pony car—whichever you believe), and changing that isn’t easy. I’m talking about a lot of loyal fans who’ll be seriously disappointed if Ford messes with the car they know and love. And let’s be honest, they probably won’t take it lightly. Americans already see the Mustang as a muscle car, so turning it into an SUV just doesn’t sit right.
