It’s official nickname is “Stagecoach” but according to MSNBC, the Secret Service has taken to calling Barrack’s Caddy, “The Beast.” Anyway you slice it, Obama’s got a pretty cool ride. I was taken aback by just how cool it was when I saw video of it rolling down Pennsylvania Ave dwarfing big Chevy SUVs. Seriously, [...]
On today’s edition of The Truth vs. Fiends (first in a while, admittedly) Mr. Justin and I get into about the BlueSport concept and what it means to VW, Audi and of course Porsche. Justin doesn’t seem to think that the car makes a whole ton of sense for plain old Volkswagen. I agree, especially [...]
Look, Mr. Justin and I talked about a whole bunch of other stuff, but all we really wanted to talk about is that damn Unimog. I mean, what else matters? Can’t think of anything. OK fine, this Unimog is really cool, too. And that Buick looks like it could be really good. Oh just listen. [...]
We so crazy. And that’s why you love us! Er, and that’s why we hope you love us! Yes, our podcast, The Truth vs. Fiends is back for 2009. Back to crazy: in today’s installment Mista Justin and I drift mercilessly from the can’t wait to try it Kia Soul to the hideousness of Cizeta V16s to [...]
Oh hell yes that is a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton. In case you don’t know, 377 hp, 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds, 177 mph top speed and stealth out the wazaoo. Especially back in the early 90s. Damn. Of course Justin and I don’t bother talking about it on today’s edition of The Truth vs. [...]
The Podcast is back! And today’s was a lot of fun. Why so? Not sure, but Mr. Justin and I ran the gamut from the new 2010 Nissan 370Z to goat food East Germans to 270 mph uber cars. What can I say? We’re automotive omnivores. Have a listen.
That’s not me, but I had an identical car. Bought it back in October 2001. A 2002 WRX Wagon. And man, I used to chew up parking lots. The black ‘Rex was my first performance car. Since then I’ve gotten into this whole auto journo thing. What a long, fast, high G, squealy tire, burning [...]
Why hello there! Not you, the car. Did you know Elvis had a 507? Guess which one aged better. Oh, right. Justin and I got on the horn and argued with each other today. We started things off by lamenting the USA and our choice of minivans and continued on to just how incredibly gorgeous [...]
For many years people have been watching the ever-escalating, mostly-German horsepower wars and wondering “where’s it going to end?” First 400 hp was considered epic. Then that became de rigueur and 500 horses was the new black. Today (if you live in Europe) you can get twin-turbo V10 Audi station wagons that make (basically) 600 [...]
You are looking at the Jeep Renegade Concept from last year’s Detroit Auto Show. We’re not saying Detroit is dead (yet) but judging by their displays the Big 2.8 might as well be. Auto journalist after auto journalist kept repeating the same thing — it’s like a funeral at both the Chrysler and GM booths. [...]
