LT1-Powered Ferrari 250 – What's Your Take?
/
A few days ago on the ever-awesome Bring A Trailer, they covered the sale of a Ferrari 250GTE (that’s a relatively unloved 2+2 iteration of the 250 model) for a “mere” $38,000. The catch? Gone is the 3.0L v12 and manual transmission, replaced by an LT-1 and 700R4 slushbox.

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.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Lion-Drawn Cart (and other Alternate Energy Vehicles)
/
You know what the problem with Power Wheels and Go Karts is? Too predictable. How are we to raise our hoonlets properly when their vehicles run reliably (or reasonably reliably in the case of a kart) and go right where they point them? No. Far, far too easy. What they need are carts drawn by…
