Video: Watch A Late Model Aussie Ford Falcon With A Turbocharged Straight Six Make 1,000hp At The Tires – Aeromotive Products On Board!
GM got the memo that the Aussies get some cool RWD cars and that we should get them too, hence the G8 and the upcoming Chevy SS. Ford still has not answered the pained cries of its fans to bring over their Falcon (especially the FPV or Ford Performance Vehicles models) to answer the GM [...]
Video: A MASSIVE RUSSIAN TRACTOR SAVES ITSELF FROM CERTAIN DEATH!
Posted in FUNNY STUFF February 19, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
My tractor dorkness is international, so when I ran across this video that shows a massive yellow tractor sticking half way out of a river like a sub breaching the surface, I knew right away that it was a mighty Russian Kirovec K-701 tractor. I also knew that unless the driver performed some sort of [...]
BangShift Saturday Movie Day: Jim Rockford And His Trusty Firebird Out Fox The Gnarly Hot Rodded Corvette Of The Bad Guys
Posted in MISC February 16, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
James Garner is 84 years old and he’s still a bad ass. He’s always been a gearhead and a racer like Steve McQueen and he performed the majority of the driving stunts and action stuff during his career. Outside of the Baja Ramblers and race cars, the most famous “car” associated to Garner is the [...]
BangShift Saturday Movie Day: William Shatner Jumps His Dodge St. Regis While Chasing A ’73 Plymouth As TJ Hooker
Posted in MISC February 16, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Hear that noise? That’s Chad whimpering because I am bringing Shatner to the party and he is sky boxing his Dodge St. Regis police car a couple of times while in hot pursuit of a bad guy in a 1973 Plymouth. This chase rules because Shatner shows virtually no emotion through the whole thing even [...]
BangShift Saturday Movie Day: Fred Dryer And His Bitchin’ ’77 Dodge Monaco Chase The Bad Guys
Posted in MISC February 16, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Know why Chad is boned for whatever weiner stuff he is going to post tomorrow? Because I have freaking Lee Majors and Fred Dryer as my lead off acts. Dryer played 12 seasons in the NFL (Chad, that’s the game with the oblong ball, where the big fellows run into each other) before going into [...]
Video: A Preview To The New Rich Christensen Drag Race Show – “Won And Done” – Will You Watch?
Posted in MISC February 12, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Love him or hate him, Rich Christensen caught drag race lightning in a bottle with his shows Pinks and Pinks All Out which both had successful multi-season runs on the Speed channel before going off the air. He did what many said was impossible for decades and turned truly grassroots drag racing into must see [...]
Insane Videos: Watch A Snowmobile Powered By A 750hp Nitro Burning Top Fuel Motorcycle Engine Haul Ass!
Posted in MISC February 12, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
As crazy as the 3,000hp Frozen Assets snow dragster was last week, this conventional snowmobile powered by a slightly detuned top fuel motorcycle engine is even wackier. The sled (which we think was built in Canada) is called Rated R and was built by a guy named Chad Rebec for the best reason possible, which [...]

As you well know, there is a monstrosity of a blizzard heading into New England this weekend. Fear not. Eastern BS world hq has stocked up on beer, cheap whiskey, and Spam, so we’re ready for anything. This weather and the frigid temps that have ushered it in have us in a cold weather state [...]
Car Chase Movie Sunday: The Violent And Bad Ass Cigarette Truck Chase From Beverly Hills Cop
Posted in CRASH & BURN February 3, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Here’s our last one of the day and it is a favorite. This is the great cigarette truck chase scene from the original Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy is stuck in the back of the big truck (and occasionally stuck swinging in the breeze outside of it) as the bad guys tries to run from [...]
Car Chase Movie Sunday: A Trans Am Takes On A Hot Rod Chevy Pickup In 1978′s The Driver
Posted in CRASH & BURN February 3, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
I guess I have Pontiacs on the brain today but seeing as this is another 1970s movie and it features another 1970s Pontiac in a car chase I guess it is fair to say that Poncho was the only brand out there making semi-exciting stuff through the malaise decade. This nine minute epic chase from [...]
Car Chase Movie Sunday: Steven Segal In A Classic Chevy Pickup Versus An Evil Mack!
Posted in CRASH & BURN February 3, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Steven Segal owned the schlocky action genre for a time in the 1990s and then became a dominant player in the “straight to DVD” market. He’s now a real life law enforcement officer and is taking down bad guys in real life (plus several pounds). In 1997, when he was at the height of his [...]
Car Chase Movie Sunday: A Pymouth Road Runner Jumps, Smashes, Rolls, and Weakly Explodes Chasing A Bad Guy!
Posted in CRASH & BURN February 3, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’d never heard of the 1977 B-movie called Bare Knuckles before watching this bitchin’ chase scene. The movie is a campy deal that follows the exploits of a bounty hunter as he tries to chase down a serial killer who murders women using kung-fu moves. While the movie is a very low budget affair (we [...]
Car Chase Video Sunday: The All Pontiac Showdown From 1973′s “The Seven-Ups” – High Speed Wreckage
Posted in CRASH & BURN February 3, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
The 1973 cop thriller called The Seven-Ups featured Roy Scheider in the starring role as the leader of a group of plainclothes cops that pushed the edge of legality to get the bad guys. The movie was directed by the same guy who did Bullit. That being said, you know that there’s a bitchin’ chase [...]
Video: Watch The Staff Of Hot Rod Squirt New Life Onto Freiburger’s Old Impala – Backyard Paint Job!
Posted in FUNNY STUFF February 1, 2013 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’re guessing that most of you remember Freiburger’s old Impala convertible that was wrapped with vinyl flames and was pretty much universally hated. That is one we’re guessing that DF would like to have back. After the flame situation became simply too much to bear, he then decided to have the car professionally painted to [...]
Cool History Video: Red Adair, The Greatest Oil Well Firefighter Who Ever Lived
Posted in MISC January 9, 2013 by Brian Lohnes

Red Adair is one of our heroes. He was a fireplug of a man who gained world-wide fame by battling and defeating the world’s worst oil well fires with the company that bore his own name. Before Red came along, the methods used to fight well fires and blow outs were old, deadly, and marginally [...]
Troy Ladd’s Hollywood Hot Rods: Behind The Scenes Presented By Comp Cams

We’re lucky enough to know Troy Ladd pretty well, and love what comes out of his famed Hollywood Hot Rods shop in Burbank, California. It’s not the biggest place, it is certainly not the fanciest place, but it’s clean and cool and full of real craftsman. Artists if you will. This video is super cool [...]
