/
This was the little-known follow-up to the 1970 AMC Rebel Machine. This article was posted in Automotive Traveler in March of this year, but it is still timely, and a great read.

/
Second only to flogging the living daylights out of our rides, we hoons love to scheme. For every hour spent under the car in the driveway, there are 8 more spend BSing on forums, browsing through catalogs and generally fussing about what we’re gonna do with the Country Sedan Falcon Uberbird Wrangler WRX Trailer latest…

Found on Ebay – Don't Worry About the Reserve Price Edition
/
Kevin Cope likes Mopars – a lot. His family has been driving and restoring them since he was a twinkle in his parent’s eye, heck I’m sure the man was conceived in one. Between Kevin, his brother, Tim and his dad, Roy this family owns at least 20 Mopars, more than a handful of them…

Last Call- Two Mods, One Bucket Edition
/
The problem for some people with shopping at Costco is having to buy everything in bulk, and then finding where to but it all when they get home. Of course, for the builder of this double 4.6 ‘modular’ engined Bucket T, that probably wouldn’t be an issue. Thanks to Tomsk for the snap.

Hooniverse Asks- Who Has Had The Most Disappointing Racing Turn?
/
Now that Danika Patrick has had a couple of turns of the wheel in NASCAR, where things generally haven’t been going her way, she’s gotten all pouty about the whole thing. But there have been other drivers who have made even less auspicious debuts, and we want some suggestions as to the one that was…

What about a T-Bird Shooting Break?
/
Commenter PapayaSF just tipped us to this T-Bird shooting break for sale in the SF Bay Area. It’s based on the 1961-63 “Rocket Bird” styling, a personal favorite. Sporting a recently rebuilt 390 with (an admittedly generous gross rating of) 300hp, it’s certainly got enough go-power to get out of its own way.

You're Not Cool Enough to Drive this Fury
/
Seriously, no one is. That’s the problem. This may be the automotive equivalent of showing up to your cube-farm desk job dressed like this guy, but maybe a bit less preppy. Take it from a guy who spends much of his hallway and breakroom time discussing his plain-jane ’64 Falcon. But let’s say you’ve left…

Hooniverse Asks- Should Ford Give the Thunderbird Another Go?
/
Ford has had a lot of storied names in its history. Some seem so faded in memory that it’s difficult to conjure up an image when brought to mind. Can you picture a Pilot? How about the Corsair? Now admittedly those were both Fords not sold in the U.S., but we’ve had our share of…

2011 Kia Sorento
/
One of my least favorite segments of the automotive industry is the mid-size crossover utility vehicle. I know it has practically become an automotive journalism cliché at this point but I love a good wagon. I see no reason to choose a tall wagon over one with a lower entry point and roofline. That being…

Japanese Combine Molester Vans and Racing to Create Something New!
/
Count on the Japanese to come up with this one. Uber-tipster bzr pointed us towards a new trend in Japan; it’s referred to as “Dajiban”, which is really just a Japanese-ification of “Dodge Van”. Dead serious, that’s what it is. I might have had a little chuckle at the cleverness of that one.
