comments
By now you all should be familiar with the paste-eating, babbling, straightjacket-worthy insanity of that legendary purveyor of turbines and turbine accessories, Turbonique. Lest you think that the egregiously dangerous rocket drag axles were limited to dry conditions, may we present for your eye-rubbing, stupefied enjoyment, the Boss Cat I, a Turbonique-equipped 1,000 HP rocket…

Realignment: How a Hoon Got His Mojo Back

Drop into the corner, toe the brakes. Stab the throttle, clutch, slip hand off wheel to grab third, stab throttle again. 3500 RPM, clutch out, intake snarls and exhaust bleats. Apex, tires bite harder and set, more throttle, and the straight. Grab fourth, head whips around at deer on shoulder, no danger. Eyes forward, 5500…

Trucks that Rock: The DAF-Based Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio
/
/
comments
The year was 1968. The Rolling Stones were making hits, taking psychotropics by the British stone, and generally saturating themselves with the full-on excesses that subsequent rock bands have come to know and love. And so it’s not surprising that in the midst of all this, the thought of a 9-5 slog in a regular…

Forget about crawling around boring railroad tracks … need a vehicle that eats IEDs for breakfast and plays in minefields for fun? Look no further than the Trojan, a Mad Max-esque tractor built from a bucket of main battle tank parts and a healthy dose of aggression.

Showdown: Land of the Rising Maple Leaf Edition

comments
It’s been a while since our last Showdown, where the bruiser Lincoln Capri crushed a Ginetta G4 under its ‘Merican heel. This week, we’re not crossing an ocean, just the 49th Parallel. Hearing the (old) news (for the first time via Autoblog) that those dirty Quebecois are looking to restrict importation of RHD imports reminded…

comments
Road trips are fun, but there’s hardly any adventure in the typical one (unless you count digestive issues caused by roadside diners). UNICAT offers a solution – leave seeing the world’s largest fizzy denture cleaner to Aunt Marie and try your hand at something fun. Say, the La Paz-Yungas Road in Bolivia?

What's Your Eleanor? – A Galaxy Far, Far Away Edition
/
/
comments
Seems like a lot of our “Eleanors” have dated from our awkward high school eras, and my “Eleanor” is no different. I grew up in a solidly Japanese car household, where four cylinders were more than enough and velour interiors were a gaudy and ostentatious display of excess. Vinyl burns on your legs were a…
