Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions: Part 1 – The Differential
/
I have a confession to make my friends… I don’t know that much about what is actually going on deep inside the guts of a car. I can drive them, spout off some some random specs on modern cars and trucks, and I like to believe I can write about them to some degree. Being…

Found On Craigslist- $1,000 Per Mile Pantera
/
The De Tomaso Pantera is one of the few exotic cars that owners seem nonplussed about modifying. These days it is more rare to come across one that hasn’t had its engine quad-turbo’d, or bodywork group-fived. So it comes as kind of a shock to find this pristine example from 1974 that not only is…

Hooniversations: Cabin Cruiser Bikes- Good Thing or Bad Thing?
/

What the Hell? "1947" Fiat-Crosley Thing
/
My first thought was Dr. Seuss Goes Racing. Beyond that, it devolves into a bunch of “huh?” and “what?”. To begin with, ain’t no way this is a 1947 anything.
