Chuck Norris turns 70 today. Rumor has it he bought himself a Nissan GT-R for his birthday.
This is why:

Newton’s Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal to a GT-R.
Chuck Norris and Mr T. got into a GT-R and drove [...]

It’s no secret I don’t mind spending a little time behind a wrench. In fact, the majority of my fleet is made up of vehicles constructed, owned, driven and given up for dead long before I even took my first breath in this world. I won’t go into the mental disorders that move one to [...]

Remember way back when I jumped in as a juror for the Internet Car and Truck of the Year? After intense deliberations, my fellow interweb scribes and myself have finally come up with a list of semifinalists for the coveted top slots in each category. What are they? You’ll have to hop over to the [...]

Yep. After much deliberation, we went with the 2004 Forester 2.5 XT. The reasons for snagging Subaru’s wagon/CUV thing over the likes of a Legacy GT wagon or even an Outback XT are numerous, starting with the fact that some lucky soul was signing the papers on the five-speed Outback I laid eyes on way [...]

If you’re like us, odds are you spend a good bit of time perusing eBay and the local Craigslist for possible diamonds in the rough. What if you took home every car that caught your eye? What if you had the space to store them? How long do you think it would take you to [...]

If you’re fortunate enough to be celebrating Labor Day by working, hats off to you, Fiends. If not, enjoy those last throws of summer. I’m officially declaring this the week of updates, wherein I keep you all posted on all of the headaches I’ve pushed to the back burners over the past few weeks. Where [...]

I was thumbing through Daytona Magazine–an automotive lifestyle book from Japan that I’m lucky to be on the comp list for, when I came across a story about these crazy miniature Lamborghini Murcielagos. We love Lambos here so took look  a little further. Since I do not read Japanese I really don’t have too many [...]

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the very first Austin Mini, and while BMW is rolling out a few funky aberrations of the light-weight bruiser to celebrate, we thought we’d take a look back. After the jump you’ll find a video of Mini designer Alec Issigonis. See, Issigonis was nearly entirely responsible for the design [...]

Ever notice how when you’re single you never have just one potential mate? If the cosmic order was bereft of irony, you’d stumble upon a single, perfect individual, the clouds would part and angels would sing. Unfortunately, it’s not like that. Or, at least it’s never been that way with me. After a lengthy dry [...]

I’ve had a photo of the POS Civic as the background on my beleaguered lap top since I bought the car years ago. With that ride gone from the Bowman fleet, staring at the pic day in and day out is just a painful reminder of what I’ve sold. Full disclosure: I write for the [...]
