Owner's Manual

Readers' cars, in their owners' words. The one you saved up for, inherited, rescued or kept far longer than anyone expected, what it's like to live with, and the adventures and road trips you've taken in it. Every owner gets a page that grows like a journal, one story at a time.

Looking for where to drive? Road Trips has the routes, the stops and the roads less traveled.

Tell us about your car

Every car in Owner's Manual belongs to a reader. It doesn't have to be rare, fast or expensive. A 20-year-old commuter that has never let you down counts as much as a concours winner, as long as there's a story in it.

Think of it as a journal for your car. Send the first story now, then the next road trip, adventure or breakdown in the middle of nowhere whenever it happens. Every owner we feature gets their own page with their garage and all their stories.

We read them all. If we pick yours, we'll write it up from your answers, quote you by name and ask for the rest of your photos at full size.

  • Photos: paste a link to a few shots (a shared album or an Instagram post). If we pick your car, we'll ask you to email the full-size photos.
  • Your own photos: taken by you, or by a photographer who's happy for us to use them.
  • Never paid for: nobody buys their way into Owner's Manual.
Thanks. We read them all, and if we pick your car we'll be in touch by email.

How it came into your life, a road trip you'll never forget, the day it let you down 200 miles from home. Tell it your way.
The best ones may end up in Road Trips, with credit to you.
A shared Google Photos, iCloud or Dropbox album, or an Instagram post. A shot of the whole car in good light helps most.
