According to the BBC, Chrysler is slated to begin filing for bankruptcy today. The news came after negotiations between Chrysler and its creditors fell apart late last night, with creditors turning down an offer for $2 billion in cash, in exchange for the $6.9 billion that Chrysler owed to its major lenders.

We’ve all heard the news that Pontiac took the axe over the weekend, and seen all the usual “Oh my god, the world’s going to end!” news coverage of our latest loss. Although a few car clubs will be a little disappointed, the end of Pontiac doesn’t mean the planet will blow up, much to [...]
This past weekend marked the annual Manitoba Street Rod Association’s big show, “Rondex Rodarama.” As usual, the show didn’t disappoint-the East End Arena was stuffed with more great hot rods and specialty cars than you could shake a stick at.
