Over at Wired’s This Day in Tech they are celebrating the March 27th 1931 opening of the world’s first full-size wind tunnel at Langley Field in Virginia.

Last Call- The Full Cleveland Edition
/
Nothing special, just a ’69 Mustang with four 351 Cleveland motors. This “Mach IV” exhibition racer is owned by Jill and Gary Weckesser of Delavan Wisconsin, and a lot of the machine work was done by Gary himself.

This is being marketed as a “Potpourri for Men”. Let us be perfectly clear: THAT IS NOT FOR MEN. Read on for some suggestions that don’t suck. Okay, confession time.

From Our Tabs to Yours: Friday Afternoon Linkage
/
As we’ve said before, this site was born as an outlet for all the car window-shopping and BS-ing that we were already spending too much time doing. Turns out it still takes a few minutes to put together a post, but it only takes seconds to open a dozen craigslist or eBay ads. Particularly if…

/
Parents, we can’t control them. And unless you were brought up by the Shelbys or the Earhardts, it’s pretty likely that at some point your family owned a car that you nicknamed something like the dump truck for how quickly a date would go south when you arrived in it.

OMGWTFBBQ VAN!

At times, the combination of an enclosed interior and smoke work to your advantage, but once those munchies take hold, wouldn’t it be great if you could grill your wings from inside the comfort of your vehicle? Our seller’s decided to…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Cheap Performance Mod?
/
We’d all like a little more go in our cars, but a lot of modifications can be wallet-draining exercises. Forced induction, re-calibrated ECM chips and suspension upgrades all cost a king’s ransom. So, what’s a hoon on a budget to do?

Hooniverse Asks – What's the Strangest Towing Setup You've Ever Seen?
/
My summers are typically spent traveling around the lower 48 states by car and I have the luck of being passenger/navigator/snack distributor about 75% of the time. The travel is mostly car related so I’m always in an automotive state of mind, scanning the lanes of traffic for something unique/interesting/insane to pass the time. I…

In observance of the annual Indianapolis 500 Race that took place over the weekend (and was historically run on Memorial Day) I thought I would dive into a pictorial history of the cars that paced this once great race, starting in 1950, and run by decade all the way up to 2010. Let’s start with…

/
Spyker’s motto is “Nulla tenaci invia est via”, or “No road is impassable for he who perseveres,” and they managed to overcome Russian investors, brusque GM lawyers and their own financial instability to apparently come out the winner (using that term loosely) in the contest for the gold ring that is Saab.
