BangShift Tune-Up: “Dragula” By Rob Zombie (1998)

Once again, I use the BangShift Tune-Up as a way of motivating myself into action first thing in the morning. In this case, I need to go straight from waking up to pulling out the tools and tearing...

Our Great Labor Day Cruise Photos Just Keep Coming!

Crosleys, Camaros, and Mustangs Oh My! No matter what kind of car or truck you think of as the ultimate hot rod, there is probably an example or three on site at the Great Labor Day Cruise in SoCal....

Train Wreck: Watch A Slow Motion Nightmare Unfold Right In Front Of The Camera

Sky-High On A Loading Dock: Joel Mohr’s Bug Hangs The Hoops At Hoonigan

Now is probably a good time to admit my ignorance of just about any and everything classic Volkswagen. I’ve only driven one, ever (a Karmann Ghia that had it’s seat locked full-forward)...

This 1978 Dodge Power Wagon Is MINT! Rubber Floors, Four-Speed, And Desert Kept!

Once again, my mind has wandered to a purposeful old truck that is everything you need and nothing more. Maybe it was driving a rented Hyundai that pushed me over the edge, or maybe it was finding...

You Are Not Imagining Things…This Ramp Truck Has 6 Doors!

And here we thought a crew cab ramp truck would be the ultimate cool two rig. Man we might have been wrong! With 6 doors, we’re not even sure what to call this thing? Is it is a Double Crew...

This 1990 Lada Niva 1600 Is Soviet 4-Wheel Drive Hatchback Greatness

So describing this as a hot hatch might be a stretch, and it is also NOT all wheel drive, but we sure think it would be a riot to own and drive this Lada Niva 1600 with just a few mods. Unlike all...

Exclusive Fire Photos: Tony Scalici Put The Fire In Firebird, But Not The Way He Wanted!

Our Photo Coverage From The USCA Optima Ultimate Street Car Event In California Continues

(Photos by Cole Reynolds) We’ve got lots more photos to share from the Ultimate Street Car Association race at California Speedway in Fontana, where MavTV crews were out trying to capture the...

The Off-Key Build: This Full Interior, Turbocharged Fox LTD Can Hustle Well Above It’s Level!

It’s not right to call this Ford LTD a sleeper. It’s not, not even close. It’s clean, yes, and it probably started out as a babied sedan owned by a little old lady who put maybe a...

Rough Start: Hit The Trails With A Prepared 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Crawler!

Part of the fun of the Rough Start series is trying to work practicality into a project vehicle hunt. It has to be useful, because for a $5,000 budget, chances are good that this is going to be the...

Redefining “Fast”: Going For A Ride In This Monster Mustang Might’ve Been A Bad Idea…

I love seeing people’s reactions to things. Don’t you? Let me ask you this question: if you’re showing someone something funny…and they haven’t seen it, but you know...

Morning Symphony: Running No Matter What Happens In A 900+ Horsepower Ford RS200

Some days, it just isn’t your day. You can have all the training, all the preparation, and all of the tools at your disposal and you’ll still figure out a new and creative method of...
