Showdown: Aging Supercar Threesome Edition
/
It’s been a while since our last Showdown, mostly because making the poll takes an extra few minutes and we refuse to keep our loyal readers waiting that long for quality content. Anyway, last time the Cosmo gave the Lancer a serious tri-rotoring. Speaking of threes, for today’s Showdown we just couldn’t keep it one-on-one.…

The Mudskipper and the Messerschmitt – the car is on the right – look so much a like that the fish could rightfully sue the Germans for copyright infringement.

Another day, another podcast?
/
After hearing my lovely voice on the AutoBlog podcast, the fine folks at the AutoBirdBlog invited me to be a guest on their podcast. What do we have to talk about? Should I invest in a microphone? Can you last the whole hour? If you have some time, hop the jump and have a listen.

Et Tu, Ferrari?
/
If you’ve got even half an ear to the cacophony that is the auto news world, you probably heard a disturbing piece of information from Ferrari earlier this week. No, I’m not talking about the fact that the 458 Italia will be the newest Autobot in Transformers 3 – though that’s unsettling enough in its…

Show us your V.I.S.I.T.

I think for the most part, the winter snowpacalypse is behind us. It has been a rather dry winter (in the car-spotting sense) and (in Utah, the snow-spotting sense) things are starting to shape up as far as I can tell. Infact just the other day I spotted this uber-rare (stateside anywho) Skyline. I fully…

Roadside Discoveries: The Golden Age of Trucking Museum; A Great Place to Discover Classic Trucks.
/
Just a short 30 minute drive from the suburbs of Hartford, I discovered a rather interesting and delightful place. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum isn’t anything that you might expect; it’s not located in a field in the middle of nowhere nor is it is located in a dilapidated barn. It’s not dirty, grungy,…

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…

Drag Race Review: 2008 Toyota Tundra TRD Supercharged
/
Not many people know that Toyota makes weapons. They calmly focus your attention on their everyday vehicles like the Camry, Prius, and other vehicles built for the daily grind. However, deep in the darkest parts of their automotive stable lies an assassin. Parked among the discarded carcasses of turbocharged Supras sits a vehicle that doesn’t make…
