As an auto journalist, one notices that certain cars stick with you. Cars that follow you around from show to show and job to job, always getting in your face and demanding coverage. Like the 2009 2010 Chevy Camaro. So, maybe “haunt you” is a better way to put it. With that in mind, behold [...]

The words “car” and “art” get mashed together quite often. I would argue far too often. See, one man’s ‘57 Chevy Bel Air is another’s Tatra T603. But who amongst us can deny the inherent beauty of a V8? You want art? I give you 16 transplendent valves and a fistfull of pushrods. In fact, all the aforementioned [...]

The heavily modified Bentley Continental GT you see above packs a galloping 800 horsepower under the hood. It’s good to know the boys and girls who drag their work to SEMA are capable of backing up over-the-top exterior modifications with knee-liquefying power. The matte ride is branded the ASI Tetsu GTR, and while the seriously [...]

If we humans ever do colonize the moon, there will have to be moon prostitutes. Say what? Well listen — every time there’s ever been a big, complex construction project with boat loads (rocket loads?) of workers, ladies of the night have shown up and lent a hand (or whatever). And where there’s hookers, there’s [...]

In truth, I missed the Scion party last night because I was too busy with the open bar at the 0-60/Rides/King party. But hey, this is a tough business. On the other hand, I absolutely did not miss the Scion display and all seven of the rides they brought out to Vegas. The best, by far, [...]

Here’s a bit of investigative reporting for you. This is Nick Baldwin’s Trophy Pre-runner. Aside from the Rousch Racing 427 V8 that’s good for 557 horsepower and 601 lb-ft of torque, the interior swaddles the passengers with fine leather. Times are tough and not surprisingly there was a note on the truck stating it was [...]

Dodge brought a quiver of Challengers to the party (as did about fully half of the exhibitors) but there was only one sitting on a spinning platter. To wit: Rhys Millen thinks he’s so special with his Hyundai Genesis Coupe race car, does he? Well, meet Sam Hübinette’s Mopar drifter. Sure, Millen’s Coupe might have a super aggressive [...]

Dodge has lived up to its promise to bring the goods to this year’s SEMA. The mad SRT10 Challenger concept is in attendance, complete with its insane suspension and mega-powerful 600 horsepower 8.4-liter V12. Of course, the best-selling Viper showed up to strut its stuff, too, but the car that takes the cake has to [...]

As cool as the Tumbler was in the Dark Knight, it wasn’t the most eco friendly of rides out there. Aside from the massive jet booster out back, those massive Caterpillar tires out back couldn’t have helped fuel consumption. With his old ride in bits after going 10 rounds with the Joker, it looks like [...]

Plucky Kia showed up in Vegas with one kick ass concept (the potent Koup) and a sharp dressed space wagon called the Soul Burner. And by space wagon we mean mini-crossover, or whatever category the Nissan Cube and Scion xB fit into. [Sidebar -- was just having a discussion with Autoblog Damon & Frank and the [...]
