Carfection’s Alex Goy Gets His Shot Behind The Wheel Of A Dodge Viper ACR And Falls In Lust (Right After Scaring The Crap Out Of Himself!)

Putting The “Panic” In Panic Stopping: Apparently, Jeep Renegades Can Do A Stoppie With Enough Speed!

Yes, They Will Move: Maine State Patrol Snags A Kid In A Dodge Neon SRT-4 Doing 146 Miles Per Hour!

(Photos: Maine State Patrol) The Dodge Neon SRT-4 didn’t have a lot going for it, to be honest. It was based on the cheeky, cheerful and effin’ cheap Neon and to be fair, if you deduct...

Caption This: This 1975 Plymouth Road Runner Should’ve Stayed In The Southwest!

Every time I surf eBay, whether it be for work or self-torment to kill time looking for a car I don’t need, I look for one body style of car in particular: the 1975-1978 “Coronet”...

No, It Ain’t Got A Hemi: This 1972 Dodge Charger Is Packing The Leaning Tower Of Power!
