Articles : It’s only okay if you’re alone in your car.

2009-11-07T20:18:20+00:00

We are all special and unique people. That being said, I believe there are inherent qualities that are in all of us. We never notice these similarities, because these qualities only show themselves in private. Generally in one’s car.

After much thought and a smidge of observation, I’ve compiled a list of things that many drivers do in their cars, regardless of age, sex, race, etc etc.

Articles : Some propaganda from GM.

2009-11-04T15:53:14+00:00

GM has stayed in contact with me since the first few months of starting this site. Along the last couple years they’ve invited us to many different events. And sometimes they like to fill our inboxes up. They couldn’t contain their excitement with the most recent news. That news being that for the first time in 21 months, they posted sales gains. I’ll reiterate, for the first time in 21 months,...

Videos : How to ruin an STI.

2009-11-02T22:40:32+00:00

Ken Block is up to some Bro-like tendencies and has mounted some Trax to his number 43 rally car. Hilarity kind of ensues. Or something like that.

Videos : Halloween Spotting

Pay attention, and see if you can identify the driver of this GT-R. I suppose that while the GT-R is considered an affordable super car, it still takes a celebrity paycheck to get one.

Articles : Buick, seriously Harley Earl is pissed.

2009-10-31T13:27:59+00:00

Buick. You are killing me. And re-killing Harley Earl. This is going to take a lot for me to say… but you actually make some good looking cars. I even recommended the Enclave to my mom, who promptly declaims, “A Buick?! I’m not in a retirement home.” Then you have the Lacrosse, which is certainly one of the best looking sedans on the market. And I truly mean that, the way the exhaust is so...

Remember that line in Star Wars when Han Solo says to the Millennium Falcon, “Hear me baby, hold together”? I do. And it’s a curious concept – Han Solo talking to his ship like that. It’s not like the ship will...

Articles : The most bad ass Audi you’ll ever see.

2009-10-30T15:54:56+00:00

Or something like that. This B7 Audi RS4 Avant was spotted on ebay. The ad is in Germany but some handy translation from our friends at Saab92x.com have helped us out.

Hello !!
This wagon is one of a kind !!
The car has a new stainless steel DTM exhaust, deep black and airbrushed design (the last unicorn and a red bull).
It is in great shape and spent most of the time in the garage.

So yeah, in...

Spotted this via Jalopnik. Quite a humorous Ferrari F430 owner/driver here. Take three minutes and watch. You’ll laugh.

Videos : Drifting: I’m told this is good.

2009-10-28T00:37:25+00:00

Supposedly this is drifting at it’s finest. I wouldn’t know, since the only other foray I’ve had into the sport was a sequel to an overrated movie franchise. Clearly, the announcers and crowd are very excited about this performance, but anyone who’s familiar with Japanese culture know that they get excited over a large variety of things. If anyone in our audience can translate the Japanese or just knows more about drifting, please let me know how this is better than what I saw in the aforementioned movie.

Articles : Bolt-in roll cage fail.

2009-10-27T19:13:50+00:00

This is the Hallett/CarFX project car, about .1 a second away from having the roof smash down on their heads and having the bolt-in roll cage puncture the body. Look closely at the picture below that shows the car resting on the roof, you can see where the roll cage has penetrated the body. Crazy. And this is why your reinforce the floor when installing a roll cage. Somehow both the driver and...
