The Chevy Equinox EV’s run as GM’s top-selling electric car is quickly coming to an end after sales dropped 92% in Q3.

After reporting that Q3 sales fell by 6% with 670,974 vehicles sold in the US, GM blamed “the much smaller EV market and discontinued vehicles.”

Amazingly Preserved 37,000-Mile ’76 Chevy Pickup Has Had Only One Owner

Here’s a stunningly preserved Chevy “square-body” pickup from America’s Bicentennial year. Unlike restomodded vintage pickups, it is as it was: no lift kit, no giant wheels, just a manual gearbox and 4x4 capability. This pickup clearly has been cared for over the years. Here’s hoping the next owner does the same. In 1976, America celebrated the 200th year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Wings’ “Silly Love Songs” was all over the radio, and Sylvester Stallone was going the distance in theaters as Rocky. In that same year, a man walked into a Chevy dealership in Colorado and drove out of it in an honest and simple pickup truck of a kind you just can’t find anymore. And he just kept it. Bring a TrailerNow up for auction at Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos), this 1976 Chevrolet K10 pickup is as much of a time capsule as those that were dug up this year to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Incredibly, it has had the same owner since new and has accumulated just 37K miles in those 50 years.

Somehow, This Chevy Camaro ‘Carralo’ Is Real and Not Something From GTA

The makers of Grand Theft Auto have mastered the art of generic-looking cars. While they sometimes cross the line into recognizability, the cars of GTA usually look just enough like real-world cars to give you an idea of what they’re supposed to be, without triggering any lawsuits. And sometimes life imitates art when somebody takes the trouble to bend sheet metal or mold fiberglass, only to have the end product look like it rolled straight out of the game. This 1989 Chevrolet Camaro is one such example. Currently for sale on Craigslist, it’s a custom-bodied Carralo that was one of only two made for that model year, according to the listing. A further 90 were made as 1990 models, so maybe things were just getting ramped up for 1989. I’ve never seen one of these before, but thanks to the GTA-like design, I kind of feel like I have.

Pros And Cons Of EV Vs. Internal Combustion Off-Road SUVs

For decades, one of the biggest debates among off-road enthusiasts has been whether gas or diesel trucks make for the better off-roader. There are plenty of good reasons to run both types of vehicles on your favorite trails, but gas and diesel enjoyers alike have a new issue to worry about. That would be the new kid on the block: electric SUVs with purported off-road chops for days. While it might've once been inconceivable that an electric vehicle could even come close to matching the performance of off-road all-stars like the Toyota Tundra, the Subaru Forester Wilderness, and even the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the introduction of the Rivian R1S and R1T in 2021 turned the off-roading world upside down. As it turns out, modern EVs aren't just highly capable on pavement; they can also be tuned for seriously impressive rock crawling, and they even have some significant benefits over their competitors with traditional internal combustion engines. For one, many EVs have excellent ground clearance, and they need fewer pieces of specialized gear to excel on even the most challenging wilderness trails.
