/
There’s just something about stupid-fast peoplemovers that gets the hoon’s blood pumping and tongue wagging. Why else would people drag race Caravan turbos? Or a buff book set out to build the Mazdaspeed 5 the folks in Hiroshima won’t? (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t go particularly smoothly.) But those and every other example of box-on-wheels buffoonery…

Why Must This 440-Powered 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron Be So Cheap?
/
I have a problem. There are too many cars in my driveway and too many titles to my name. If I owned a pole barn this would not be a problem, but I do not. The latest painful reminder of my storage inadequacies is this super-sweet 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron, complete with a 440 V8,…

See that 2005 612 Scaglietti up there? No, that’s not Roger Ebert’s new car (oh, I’m going to burn in hell for that one), it’s a Ferrari that had an unfortunate run in with some Brazilian hardwood. Now, the driver was rescued from the damaged car and was taken to the hospital. He, however, was…

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…

Thanks to the Marshall Plan, even our vanquished former foes have had the opportunity to get in on the game, some initially building near-clones of existing trucks.
