File this one under, “ain’t never seen that before”, for us anyway. We were tipped off to this cool video featuring a camper from the mid 1970′s designed for use by small cars. The totally awesome part about it is that when used with a VW Beetle, as the video shows, the car can turn [...]

Randy Bernard, the former head of the Professional Bull Riders Inc., has been named the new CEO of the Indy Racing League in a move that will either be heralded as a great moment of the series or derided as a huge mistake. Bernard’s work during his 15-year stint at the helm of the PBR [...]
Video: Blastro, The Pro Mod Astro Van
Posted in RACING & ACTION February 5, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

Blastro is a blown, alky swilling, tube-chassis version of a Chevy Astro van. It’s bat poop crazy and we love it. After dropping the video of the A-Team van on you yesterday we needed a little van follow-up. While it may not be the quickest thing ever to head down a strip, and calling it [...]
Michigan Sheriff Turning Confiscated Cars into Police Vehicles
Posted in General News February 5, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

Police departments seizing the property of drug dealers is nothing new. The idea of using cars taken from dirtbags as some type of community vehicle isn’t new either. One sheriff in Saginaw, Michigan, has come up with a new idea though, using those cars to replace aging vehicles in the police motorpool for every day [...]

This 1952 F1 truck, for sale in Athens, Georgia is a nice piece. It is sporting a flat head, a C4, and what seem to be Mustang Bullitt wheels. It is also equipped with a major league price tag of $52,000. As cool as this truck is, we’re not sure it’s $52,000 worth of cool. [...]

Professional truck drivers, specifically the good ones, are people that gearheads should respect. They work the most dangerous job in America.

While evil, randomly accelerating Toyotas are one thing to be skittish of on the roads, we found a hazard that should strike larger amounts of fear into you. That hazard? Meth-head big rig drivers who talk on their cell phones while driving, and then fall out of the cab of their trucks. Just ask some [...]
