* That Volkswagen emissions scandal isn't the company's first, nor is it the first time the company's been caught with emissions defeat devices. As The Detroit Bureau (and a couple other sources) reported this past week, back in 1974 VW was forced to pay a $120,000 fine for installing temperature-sensing devices that shut off emissions systems on its buses, campervans, and other Type 2s.

Or, you know, it could all be a wild goose chase.
* As part of its wall-to-wall papal visit coverage, the New York Times took a look at popemobiles through the years, including the above Fiat Campagnola that Pope John Paul II was shot in.
* Japanese Nostalgic Car this week related the story of eight Hiroshima Technical High School students who got the opportunity to restore a Mazda Cosmo over the summer.
