Freiburger and Finnegan are back with another episode of “Roadkill” their off-kilter adventure show where they do neat and humorous car stuff. Essentially we revel in their pain and suffering. We’re ok with that. This time the guys drive a 1969 El Camino that has been in Finnegan’s family since brand new to  the Sparks, [...]

Wheel hop is one of the most violent sensations that you can experience in a relatively stock car. Anyone who has owned a Mustang Cobra of the SN195 variety has probably lived through it on the street or the strip. We sure know that we have. Instead of a Mustang, this video features a fourth [...]

We have seen lots of wacky helmet cam videos over the years here at BangShift but this one is on another level entirely. The video shows a quad rider running full speed down a dirt road in God knows what country. The guy’s machine is equipped with GPS and some other type of guidance device, [...]

Tony Stewart is one of the greatest NASCAR racers ever. We’d actually say that he is one of the greatest American race car drivers ever because he has been in sprint crs, Indy cars, and other stuff, not just stock cars. Stewart is a fearsome competitor and also has no problem speaking his mind. He’s [...]

Regular BangShift readers know Jamey Smith. He’s the stunt driver and gearhead that has appeared in Hot Rod  and a bunch of videos on both the internet and big screens of your local cinema. Smith is really good at driving cars up on two wheels and he recently decided to try and do something no [...]

Any gearhead who has had access to both a front wheel drive and plastic lunch trays has combined the two for magical parking lot hilarity. Skidding a car around like this is really fun and so long as the cops do not show up, there’s not harm in it. Now imagine taking that parking lot [...]

Well, we know at least one guy now who we have to believe when he tells us that his car can pull wheelies on the street and that’s the owner of this Chevy Malibu station wagon! This small tire drag machine hooks hard on the strip as evidenced by his other videos, but that rear [...]

We’re suckers for old-timey news reel style movies from car companies. This gem from Ford was made in 1940 as a device to tell people how great their factory replacement parts and service was. They did so by using animated engine parts like talking valves, a cheery piston and connecting rod combo, and the dastardly [...]

Blame my kids for this one. Tom and Jack were playing around on Tom’s iPod touch yesterday and asked if I would search up some videos of the General Lee for them on YouTube. I happily complied because it sounded like a recipe for fun. After watching the General Lee slide, fly, and skid through [...]

We’re late to the party on this one, but Freibuger and Finnegan’s latest Roadkill adventure has been set live on the interwebs and we think it is a pretty good one. The guys take on Peterson’s 4-Wheel and Off Road staffers Rick Pewe (the editor and a legendary figure in the 4WD scene) and Fred [...]

It seems that everyone we have ever talked to that owns a Dyson vacuum raves about it. They are known for being super powerful and of very high quality. If you have ever priced them out, you know that they live at the upper end of the vacuum price chart. Logically, the reasons for this [...]

Make no mistake, we are not mocking the dudes in the videos below. After all we’re totally about having fun with our cars and the guys in the videos are doing just that. What you’ll see below is a dude in a 1957 Chevy gasser on the autocross as well as a dude in a [...]

Ridetech’s Bret Voelkel is a mad man. He is also one hell of a driver, so when we saw a video that showed the Ridetech Chevy dually truck attacking the autocross at the Goodguys Pleasanton, California show we had to watch. As it turns out, Bret wheeled the 7,000lb behemoth around the cones in a quick [...]

Chalk this on up to the, “never seen that one before” file. BangShift photog Charles Wickam sent me this video last night and it shows some guys in Finland running their big honkin’ pulling tractor on a dyno. We assume that they’re tuning the machine up for pulling action later on in the year. The [...]

Remember the one about the two guys who left for Alaska and ended up at the Grand Canyon by way of Utah and Colorado? Those two guys were David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine and that whole adventure was filmed for an episode of Roadkill, the web tv show that both guys headline. [...]

As you know, we’re easily entertained around here, so when we saw this video of a Mustang suffering a nitrous backfire at Houston Motorsports Park we wanted to share it. While this certainly isn’t the biggest or most violent nitrous pop we have ever seen on the strip, the results are pretty entertaining. According to [...]
