As we’ve already told you, we’re having a big party. RSVPs have been off the hook, as the kids say, so its looking like Tao in the Venetian on Tuesday after 10pm will be the place to be. If you’re in Vegas next week for the the autoparts orgy that is SEMA, and you haven’t [...]
There’s a small secret society of Porsche fans who assemble as the R Gruppe. They take early ‘70s long hood 911s and hot rod them to a loose set of rules vaguely guided by a handbook published by Porsche around 1970 outlining “Sports Purpose” mods to set the cars up for racing and rally. The [...]
What? You don’t dig the loveable Forester? Well, how about one with the same miracle mill found behind the headlights of the STI? That’s exactly what the mad scientists at Subaru have cooked up just for SEMA. Aside from the 315 horsepower 2.5-liter four cylinder, the car also sports unique styling outside with a JDM [...]
Kidding. Looks like Ford sent everyone in the auto bloggo a brown wrapped package marked “CONFIDENTIAL.” Inside was the video the new F150 SVT (maybe called “Raptor”) you will find below the jump. Neat PR stunt and two to three hundred times better than the death by a thousand cuts new Mustang “reveal.” Ahem. According [...]
We’ve seen eBay gold before, but let’s get into some 24 Hours of LeMons duckets. For the low, low price of just $300 this dream machine can be yours! The unfortunate owner is moving in a week and this ‘Bird has a (probably tiny) hole in the radiator. That means for the price of a [...]
Funny how things line up. One of my good friends just picked up this 1972 Porsche 911 RS look Targa in signal yellow and needed a place to store it. Then I’ve got the 70s racer inspired Ducati Sport 1000S loaner. Kind of an early ’70s dream garage for us ‘fiends so figured its worth [...]
Looks like beautifully aged Corvettes are turning up everywhere. That’s right. We said yard find. This gorgeous piece of Americana wasn’t lovingly tucked away inside of a barn or garage somewhere. The two-seater was abandoned under a pine tree in the Rockies in 1963. We don’t know whether it was the sap or the generous [...]
In the same way that the light from a supernova can arrive in our Earthbound telescopes millions of years after the event itself, here in the Bahamas we’re seeing the fallout from the Great Japanese Faux-Hardtop Battle Of The Nineties nearly two decades after it began. So what is this mystery vehicle? As you might [...]
Seems like just yesterday reader John R was wondering just what Jay Leno was smoking when he said Ford saved Aston Martin. Looks like an Aston Martin owner discovered what exactly Blue Oval salvation means. It’s well known that FoMoCo swapped and traded parts from the family bin into the high-dollar sports cars, most of [...]
Hey all you people with your fancy sports cars and uber-sedans as your keeper cars — how are you going to find parts for those exotic, expensive whips in 20-30 years? Exactly — eBay China. That’s why I’m going with my very own car — the current Volkswagen GTI! This car likely represents the end of the line [...]
