Charlotte is having its big annual car show next weekend, the Food Lion AutoFair. And it looks like there’s going to be some exciting oddities there, including this trio of nostalgic vans belonging to JR and Glenda Sammett of Florida. There will also be a swarm of those street legal bumper cars and some truly over-the-top tailgating rigs like this slammed Grumman delivery truck, and 1500 cars for sale in the car corral alone. If you’re anywhere near the Charlotte area next weekend, August 26-29, I’m guessing this show will be worth a look. See the rest of the pics from last year’s show at Charlotte Motor Speedway here!

Dave and Stephanie, along with Dave’s grandfather, are driving from New York to the Motor City in Pops’ 1970 LeSabre for the phenomenal Woodward Dream Cruise. They’ll also be hitting some car-buff points of interest like the Henry Ford Museum and the Ford Rouge assembly plant along the way. The trek has been going well so far–last I heard, they’ve made it to Ohio, and that was yesterday. Expect some great pics and blogs next week from one of the greatest gearhead events of the year!

I’m sure this has been asked on here before, but we’re long overdue for an unofficial update on our unofficial running poll. Do you prefer domestics, Japanese imports, or other imports (from Europe or elsewhere)? Is your preference lifelong and set in stone, do you favor one but make occasional exceptions, or do you just like a little of everything as long as the car is cool?

Domestic or Import? Sound off in the comments!

Brown with a brown vinyl top: I think I’m in love. And with barely 30,000 miles on the AMC 304–’79 was the last year for V8′s in the Concords–you can bet it still gets up and moves a little bit. See more views at Hemmings Classifieds. Via Brown Car Appreciation Society.

In Tampa, there is a huge bridge called the Howard Frankland. It’s 16,000 feet long, 70 feet wide, and goes across the bay–perfect for illegal street racing, and the cops know it. And if the hoonage persists, a preemptive seize-and-crush policy similar to Canada’s may one day be on the books at the national level. What are your suggestions for a cure?

As Rob mentioned the other day, we’ve implemented some new tools to make it easier to sell your ride on CarDomain. Now, as part of our larger In-Market Showcase, we’ve rolled out a bunch of new features to make it easier for folks who find their way to CarDomain to research–and make–their next car purchase here as well. As you might’ve noticed on the homepage, we’ve got research tools for both new and used cars side by side. Drill into these for specific makes and models and you’ll turn up not only cars for sale on the site, but specs and stats, videos, and original uncut reviews written by members of the CarDomain community who have owned and worked on these vehicles. To get started, browse rides for sale here and learn how to list your car here. Full press release after the jump.

I’m not generally much of a kids kind of person, but this shot of Super’s little guy hamming it up in front of his wild custom Charger is just too cute. See more of that crazy flamed paint and flip-down doors on the ride page.

Like a lot of people who are severely into cars, I’ve always found the idea of parking in my living room to be pretty appealing. So of all these beautiful high-dollar garages, the ones I like best are those that incorporate some kind of living space, from the loft above the immaculate bowties to the full-kitchen bar alongside the Italian exotics to the the little nook office with the view and the spiral staircase at the back of someone’s rustic two-car. In reality, though, true living-space garages–the ones where you literally drive your car into your home–might make it difficult to do anything more than light-duty tinkering. I like cooking almost as much as I like cars, but a kitchen full of diesel smoke would kill the appetite in a hurry. Anyway, hit the jump for a gallery of absolutely drool-worthy parking setups: notwithstanding the cars that’re in them, which garage do you like best?
