This is the greatest video ever. Jeff Gordon in disguise as a middle aged, mini-van driving car buyer takes a used car salesman out on the ride of his life in a new Camaro. The salesman goes ape-bleep as Gordon slides, jumps, and spins the car like a lunatic on the ride. The dude’s face [...]
So we found this 10-minute “sizzle reel” for a reality TV show pilot called, “Shifters USA”. The show follows a group of southern stick shift drag racers as they compete at Farmington Dragway in North Carolina. Now, normally you’d read the words “reality show pilot” and shoot holes in your computer with a pistol, but [...]

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 [...]
There’s bad ass and then there is BAD ASS. Australian Peter Tommasini is a master level metal worker and gearhead who runs a restoration shop down under and his skills are in full display during this video where he turns a piece of sheet metal into the rear quarter panel of a rare version of [...]
The dudes that ride Top Fuel Harleys have giant stainless steel balls. Seriously, their testicles are bullet proof and you can hear them clank when they walk. Some would argue that all the cells normally reserved for your brain have moved farther south because nobody in their right mind would ride one of these beasts. [...]
In my conversations with Bill Caswell and a few other guys who have participated in desert races like the Baja 1000 and others, the subject of spectator booby traps has come up. Mostly they are mounds of sand or dirt designed to launch cars as jumps or whatnot. In this case it goes to a [...]
This kids, is a hot rod. It is also a rolling mechanical orphanage. The motor in the car isn’t made any more. The rear end in the car isn’t made anymore. The components in the rear suspension are from a company that is out of business. The transmission hasn’t been manufactured in years and the [...]
We were tipped off to this video by multiple BS readers were were left as slack jawed as we were once viewing it. We have no idea what the hell caused this car to hit a barrier at an amazing rate of speed and launch skyward like it is part of a movie stunt. We’ve [...]
It has been a while since we posted a really good in-car video of someone just flat getting it done with a manual transmission at the digs. This is a 62-year old dude named Kurt who has himself one nasty Camaro. The car runs deep into the 5.70s in the eighth mile, which translates in [...]
Tonight at 10PM Eastern the new SPEED channel series, “Are You Faster Than A Redneck?” premiers and we’ll be watching. You should tune in as well. We’ve seen a preview of the show and we think it is really good. It mixes some good humor with cool cars, tight racing, and professional levels of production. [...]
Not many people remember that Detroit’s Big Three were heavily involved with the Big Rig business in the 1970s. Dodge was in the mix along with Ford and Chevy/GMC. In some sense, they were out almost as quickly as they were in. Dodge was done producing big rigs by 1976. Few of them remain today [...]
WARNING: THIS VIDEO HAS LOTS…AND WE MEAN LOTS OF SWEARING BUT IT IS HILARIOUS. IF YOU ARE AT WORK, THIS VIDEO MAY GET YOU IN TROUBLE. THE DUDE IN THE VIDEO USES THE F-WORD IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE STARTING ABOUT 10 SECONDS IN. BE WARNED, THERE IS A TON OF SWEARING IN THIS VIDEO – [...]
Consider this a sneak preview of coming attractions here at BangShift. We’re planning on a weekly burnout contest called the BangShift Burnout Battle! The details are still being worked out between Chad and I but we wanted to get the ball rolling with this interesting pair of tire fryers. Talk about and unlikely pair! We’ve [...]
Whoever the hell Mick Brasher is, he rules all. Every time Brian leaves town I have to run some Australian burnout video, and this one rules more than any other burnout video ever. The best part is the fact that this “event” is held in Mick’s backyard. Seriously.They have helicopter footage, on car footage and [...]
There’s been some recent discussion in our BangShift forum are about DeLorean cars. I don’t have a whole lot of good stuff to say about them, but after watching this video, I can say that they fold up magically when involved in a crash at 40mph. We’re talking budget basement Chinese economy car levels of [...]
