Ever Wondered What It Is Like To Race A Crazy Fast Can Am Car At Night? Watch This!

Classic YouTube: Drifting The Mitsuoka Le-Seyde, Japan’s Answer To The Zimmer!

Are you familiar with the Zimmer brand? They are one of those companies that repurpose a new platform…in their case, Ford-sourced setups…and drape it in a body that looks like it came...

Anytime, Baby: This Holden Commodore Ute Will Run Anything…Just Not Into A Car Wash.

There’s always some discussion on what makes a real-deal sleeper. We can admit that pretty much anything older that the 1980s doesn’t count because someone has been tweaking on it if...

Bird Of Prey: This Ford Falcon Is Taking No Prisoners – That Launch Is Deadly!

It takes some big brass ones to challenge every small block on the property. Every Fox body Mustang, every small-block Camaro, and the random and odd Mopar (or, because we know it exists,...

Morning Symphony: Alcohol Injected, Supercharged Rat-Powered ’56 Chevy Goodness!

Fly Like A Brick: Watch The “Bad Company” Monster Truck Do Some Low-Level Flying!

I don’t follow monster trucks like I did when I was a kid. I grew up on the TNN showcases: rows of cars ready to be flattened and two machines going heads-up against one another in a race that...

20 Years Ago This Is What The Mustang vs Camaro Battle Looked Like – A Cobra And An SS Fight!

What a different 20 years can make, right? This video is cool because it is an accurate look back at the pony car war that Ford and Chevy were still fighting and would fight for a couple more years...

Ramble On: Watch As This Rambler Hornet Throws Down On The Skidpad!

British Lawnmower Racing: Somewhere Between A Push Mower, A Go-Kart And A Quad!

Lawnmower racing is a great way to have a lot of fun on a little budget. The basic lawnmower only has so long to be useful before the wear and tear of mowing down that jungle you unashamedly call a...

Hazardous Weather Outlook: This Ford Lightning Is Quick Enough To Earn The Name

Yeah, I see that Kentucky license plate on the back of this first-gen Ford Lightning. And I can say that I do not remember seeing this rig anywhere recently, so I have more questions than answers...

A Restomod, A Ute And A Mopar: This CL Valiant Ute Is A Dream Concept Come True!

Chad thinks that within a couple of years, that he’ll have me in a “traditional” Mopar. I think that means that he believes that he’ll find a way that I’ll suddenly fall...

A Workday Dream: Hooking A HEMTT Up To The Sled At A Pull!

This should qualify as cheating in some sense of the word. The Oshkosh HEMTT series of military trucks are beasts…Detroit Diesel powered, 8×8 beasts that weigh as much as a starter home...
