Hey! Remember the Mercedes-Benz GLK “Build-Off”? Sure you do, if only for our coverage of the momentous event. A variety of tuners competed to pimp the oh-so-kleine mini-Merc-mommy-mobile, with results ranging from the ridiculous to the, er, not terribly sublime. Well, after much counting of votes, infighting, and examination of extraneous battery compartments, the winner has [...]

The Rhys Millen Genesis Coupe may have been built for SEMA, but that doesn’t mean it’s done. The guys at the shop still have some work to go on the turbo 2.0 four under the hood, but they recently brought the car out of the garage for a few rolling shots. This sucker sounds mean, [...]

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 [...]

“Say what? That’s just a dirty old F-body Z28. My cousin Julian in Sea Bright’s got one, and his is an IROC! So yeah, I see the shiny wheels, the big wing (which has to be good for at least 30 hp, right?) and the orange skunk stripes — but so what? I’m telling you, Julian’s [...]

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 [...]

Fair warning: don’t look directly at this thing. We aren’t responsible for any nausea that may ensue as a result. Usually, this level of stupidity insanity customization is kept to SEMA, where there are armed guards posted on every corner to keep it from escaping. Some enterprising soul in Kuwait managed to graft a BMW [...]

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 [...]
