Rail inspection? Pffhh … Try Minefield Inspection!

Forget about crawling around boring railroad tracks … need a vehicle that eats IEDs for breakfast and plays in minefields for fun? Look no further than the Trojan, a Mad Max-esque tractor built from a bucket of main battle tank parts and a healthy dose of aggression.

The coolest Italian cars aren't red.
/
Red Italian cars? How cliché. In many ways, the Alfa Romeo Brera is Italy’s answer to the Chevy Monte Carlo. Blasphemy! Maybe, but bear with me for a second: the fiery Latin coupe and the perennial “Official Ride of People of Wal-Mart” have a lot more in common. The Brera isn’t the fastest car in…

Question of the Weekend: Would you buy a 4 (or more) passenger Convertible?
/
Summer is here once again and with that the call of the Convertible beckons. I remember my first car was a 1966 Corvair Monza Convertible, with room enough for me and three of my friends, cruising with the top down on warm summer nights. However, it seems that affordable 4 seat convertibles are slowly disappearing…
