One-Up The UberBird with this Stick-shift 735i
/
Never has a car so begged for LeMonization. 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. Hell, there’s probably a few of us hoons who are familiar with the ’64-’65 Chevelle 300 two-door wagon. But how many…

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…

Name That Car: Blame engineerd Edition
/
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…

Rt. 11 U-Pull, Northeastern PA's Newest Junkyard
/
Driving along Route 11 through Northeastern PA, you don’t expect to see what I’ve drooled over seen every weekend for the past nine years. Tier after tier of mostly German cars nestled between the trees, stacked on top of each other, all grouped together (mostly by type) as far up the side of the mountain…

Speed Reads- How to Restore Your Collector Car 2nd Edition
/
If you’re looking to restore or repair your collector car, it would sure be nice if the project came with an instruction manual. Sure, there are plenty of Haynes manuals and Bentley books to guide you through the travails of the mechanicals, but what about the rest of the car- the body, soft-bits and trim?…

/
This is an ongoing series in which I examine Cadillac, and try and think about how Cadillac can successfully go upmarket. We looked at one of the most opulent Cadillacs ever, the V-16. Now let’s take a look at a truly outlandish Cadillac, offered between 1957 and 1960, the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham.

Last Call- How's Your Commute Again? Edition
/
In Colombia, when you live on one side of the Rio Negro river, and your school is on the other, it’s not soccer moms in SUVs delivering the kids to class, it’s a tarzan-besting quarter-mile long zip line that whisks them there at over 40 mph. While not one of the three Rs, hooning is…

Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The 1964 Chevy Super Nova Show Car
/
This is an interesting piece I did recently for Chevy Enthusiast Magazine on a little known show car that made its debut in the Spring of 1964. However, this was also the time in which the wildly successful Ford Mustang made its debut, making this show car virtually obsolete overnight. Was it a case of…
