This is our kind of good time. We don’t know the back story, we don’t know where it happened, but we do know that we want to try it. The quick and dirty on this video is that you’ll see a big Caterpillar excavator parked in the middle of a shallow pond. You’ll also see [...]

We were among the lucky ones in high school that never got saddled driving some retreaded junk that our parents had recently discarded. Nope, our junk may not have been all that fast or good handling, but it did not have a sliding door on the side, so we were ahead in the game. In [...]

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside we have great video showing a glimpse of the newest project from the group of wacky geniuses that brought us the Postman Pat van. Sticking with their “smaller is cooler” theme, Tom Armitage and the boys have constructed a small slingshot dragster that uses the [...]

We’ve showed you plenty of cool videos featuring the hilariously awesome Postman Pat drag car over in England but this is the best one yet. Why do we say that? Only because it features the little (and we mean FRIGGIN’ LITTLE) van absolutely eating a 5.0L Mustang alive on the quarter mile strip at York [...]

It’s Thursday boys and girls and that means PowerShift is on! Last week we couldn’t have the show because our south of the border internet connection wasn’t fast enough, but this week we are in Tulsa Oklahoma for the Throwdown in T-Town drag race and have lots to talk about at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern. We’ve [...]

There are lots of “reaction” videos out there on the internet. We’ve run lots of them featuring guys scaring the pants off of their wives, girlfriends, moms, dads, and other family members. This time though the tables are turned and it rules very freaking hard. Instead of the mom being the one cowering in fear [...]

Finnegan and Freiburger have been one some wacky fun adventures since they started the Roadkill series on YouTube some time ago. They’ve wrecked cop cars, driven to Alaska, driven to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and made us laugh in any number of ways. This time they drive the scariest pile of steel and [...]

Before the modern day towing and payload capacity wars between truck makers, the big selling point was how good the trucks rode. All kinds of different “tests” were use to illustrate this point, but this one from Ford in 1969 is a classic. Using a couple of sticks, a bunch of 4×4 lumber and a [...]

This video is totally insane. When you press play, you’ll see a driverless golf cart flying through Cowboy Stadium, ultimately smashing into a crowd of football coaches and officials after a Texas high school football championship game. As best we know, none of the people that were mowed down were seriously injured. What’s really crazy, [...]

Finally Brian will be on location in Ohio as he prepares for the 2013 Hot Rod Top Speed Challenge and ECTA Season Opener this weekend. Chad will be at his normal local haunt, aka Crosby’s House of Hot Rods, and will be discussing all thing BangShift from the past week on the site. This week’s [...]

From the guys that brought you Overhaulin’, Rides, Hot Rod TV, OUSCI, and many many more, comes a new special on Travel Channel called Doomsday on Wheels. Much like the show Doomsday Preppers, this one will feature some “interesting” characters who have prepared for the end of the world as we know it. Instead of [...]

With respect to massive, smokey burnouts, they don’t get any more massive or smokey than the one shown in the video below. The truck is the Smith Transport Tornado II and from what our ears are telling us, power definitely comes from a turbocharged two stroke Detroit, probably a 12-cylinder. It has been stretched and [...]

OH MY GOD!!!! This is awesome. If it wasn’t cell phone video it would be slightly cooler, but only a little. Take two dudes, one Ford truck, copious amounts of gumption, and some ingenuity, and this is what happens. They send the Ford on a trip without driver and it becomes the world’s largest lawn [...]

Yesterday Brian’s BangShift Question of the Day was asking what was the first thing you ever drove. In honor of that, I found this funny video of a kid giving his driving instructors fits. He uses several really good lines, but I’m not going to ruin it for you. Trust me, this one will make [...]

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 [...]

This is like a great version of a gearhead silent movie. While we don’t get to hear the conversation between the driver (son) and the passenger (dad) we do get to hear the turbocharged LS engine working in the front of this cool sleeper Ford Fairmont. The car is insanely fast and dad is a [...]
