Trucks that Rock: The DAF-Based Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio
/
The year was 1968. The Rolling Stones were making hits, taking psychotropics by the British stone, and generally saturating themselves with the full-on excesses that subsequent rock bands have come to know and love. And so it’s not surprising that in the midst of all this, the thought of a 9-5 slog in a regular…

Showdown: Old Black is the New Black Edition
/
At the risk of being obvious, we’ll go ahead and claim there’s no better color for a car than black. No other shade means serious business like black. Had one of the Stallion Starions from our last Showdown been black, it would’ve been the clear victor. We’re curious how you’ll pull the lever on today’s contestants,…

One-Up The UberBird with this Stick-shift 735i
/

Sure, the extra size might put you at a little disadvantage over the more nimble e30s and Sentras on track, but we need to remember: this is an endurance race; driver comfort is paramount. When it comes to comfort, nothing delivers like a 7-series. Just look at…

Well Shoot My Brake and Call Me Ransom: A Two-Door Vista Cruiser!
/
When it comes to GM’s postwar two-door wagons, we all know about the 1955-’57 Chevy Nomad. And a lot of us probably know about the ’55-’57 Pontiac Safari, which used the Nomad body shell.

You Drive What? (Now in easy to swallow internet form)

Loyal reader SSurfer321 just sent in a link to a site which posts pictures of questionable rides. Now… some of them are not that weird – like the Ferrari 360 parked outside of WalMart. Sometimes you just need to pick up 1000 Solo Cups and a 30 pack of ping-pong balls, and you need to…

Last Call- Eleanor's Mom Edition

The remake of Gone in Sixty Seconds had the benefit of 30-years of movie making advancement going for it, and still comes up short in comparison with the original. Special effects these days may allow for more unbelievable stunts, but you just can’t beat ’70s car chases. Image source: [the unofficial Gone in 60 seconds fan…

As we all know, engineerd was at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit with UDMan last week. Because he’s a bit of a bastard, he decided to take a few ultra-close photos of tiny little details that should define a vehicle for people who know them. Unfortunately, he’s taking photos of concept cars…
