2010 Suzuki Kizashi
/
Kih-Za-Shee. Not Keeshasha, Kezhasee, or Kissahee. Definitely not Ke$ha either…eww. This is the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi SE All-Wheel Drive and it’s a good car with a weird name. The name does have a purpose beyond confusing old men and young women, as it roughly translates to “omen” or “warning” in English. The Kizashi is basically…

2009 Lexus GS 350 … fitted with F-Sport goodies
/
How you do spice up an expensive luxury sedan without losing the inherent upscale nature of the vehicle? Is it as simple as adding some upgraded wheels, a sway bar set, and a more freely flowing exhaust? In the case of the 2009 Lexus GS 350 the answer is a surprising you betcha’.

Faster, Faster, Faster, Until the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death …
/
Speed, being relative, is a hard thing to appreciate or perceive. Speed from behind the wheel is different from speed on TV from the sofa. Sometimes, to see how fast an object is moving you need to look at it while it’s not moving at all.

In A Snowbank, No-One Can Hear You Scream: The Hooniversal Polar Expedition, Part III
/
In the previous chapter, we explored all the various forms of training and preparation for a mission to the North Pole that we successfully ignored in favour of drinking nice cups of coffee and strong forms of alcohol. Eventually we realized that our training was never going to be properly completed, and was really just…

Last Call- Lite Not So Brite Edition
/
Good Year came up with these light-up tires in the early sixties, apparently to aide in up skirt photography. The tires were made from synthetic rubber, and illumination was provided by wheel-mounted bulbs. Changing one of those must have been a hassle!

It’s time to move on from ridiculous hoonage back to the real world (for now). After the canyons and the empty streets of California City came miles of long, straight highway.

The Mother of All Vintage Drag Picture Threads
/
Be it F1, rally, stock cars or drag, vintage racing is a peerless paradigm of authentic automotive awesomeness. The sponsors were few, the cars were metal and the helmets were open faced. On some level, old-school drag racing wins points for being the most low-budget, under-engineered, whittled to a single purpose activity. F1 is a…

In case you missed the Ferrari Challenge over the weekend (which I also did unfortunately) I have put together some videos and photos for your viewing pleasure, courtesty of the Miller Motorsports Park Facebook fanpage. Bring some tissues.

Question of the Weekend: Should there be more choice in Interior Colors?
/
This is in a similar vein as the exterior color choice question I ran a few weekends ago. I just want to know what happened to color choices in the interior of the car? Have we all gone color blind? Read more after the jump…

Just About Perfect: Supercharged e34 M5 Touring
/
As the owner of two grey station wagons, I can attest to the near-invisibility to law enforcement of the wagon form factor. That’s a good thing, because we suspect that the 377hp supercharged 3.8L engine in this M5 Touring is capable of impressively illegal acts all day every day on the weekends and plenty of…

Bonjour étranger edition

Reader Wasabi was cruising up I95 in Connecticut the other day when he saw this car retreating quickly past him. It is a Peugeot 308 wearing New Jersey manufacturer plates. It’s cool to see it here stateside…but what is it doing over here? Maybe the rumors from 2007 are finally coming true and Peugeot is thinking about a return…

The Designers Night 2010 Party; How did they let the Hoons in?
/
Covering the North American International Auto Show in Detroit was a treat, as I was able to co-mingle among the journalists and bloggers I have come to know over the past several years. So what if there was very little in the way of news; Who cares if the bloggers were making up posts to…
