/

comments
Radwood came to California this past weekend, and I am happy to report that it is still a great event. If you’re a fan of all things 80s and 90s, then you have to try and get to a Radwood event when one comes anywhere in your vicinity. It’s not just the cars but also…

Here is How You Start a Frozen Car in Siberia

comments
I’ve driven in places and situations where I’ve had to worry about a car overheating. There’s another end of the spectrum, however that I’ve yet to experience. That would be the idea of a car that’s so frozen there’s no way to start it. No way, that is, unless you know what you’re doing… like…

This Nash Statesman Swaps in Big-Block Cadillac Power
/
/
comments
The Nash Statesman was always served up with inline-6 power. It served the car fine enough, but owners were likely still daydreaming about more go under the hood. One owner clearly did because he had a Statesman restored and upgraded. Now, there’s a massive mill under the hood… 8.2 liters of Cadillac combustion bolted between…

Watch and Listen to Carroll Shelby Talk About His Career
/

comments
Carroll Shelby accomplished quite a bit over the course of his long career. He won Le Mans as a driver, team owner, and manufacturer. His name adorns what remain some of the coolest vehicles ever built. He founded a charity to cover the medical bills for children whose families couldn’t afford them. And he even…

Makellos Classics Builds a Better Porsche 930 Turbo
/
/
comments
The Porsche 930 is the starting point for the German automaker’s turbocharged monster machines. Of course, the monstrous part of the early efforts was the potential for unplanned oversteer adventure. Today’s turbocharged 911s are different animals entirely. Still, the original cars just look fantastic. That doesn’t mean there’s room for improvement and Makellos Classics has…

Say “Happy 70th Birthday” to the GM Small-Block V8
/
/
comments
General Motors has been cranking out its legendary small-block V8 since 1954. The first vehicle to carry that mill? A 1955 Chevy truck as part of the Task Force lineup of pickups. It was a 4.3-liter V8 that cranked out 180 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Fast forward to today, and GM looks back…

I LOVE the Ineos Grenadier

comments
When someone says they wish a company made a true off-road-ready rig, they don’t mean what they say. Sure, some folks do, but I’d wager the majority who make that claim don’t actually want to live with a real off-road capable vehicle on a daily basis. I do, though. I truly enjoy burly boxes on…

After a multi-year wait, Scout Motors has finally revealed its concept vehicles, and the results are pretty darn promising. The Scout brand will bring an electric pickup truck and SUV to market starting in 2027. The truck is called the Terra, while the SUV gets the Traveler name. While it’s great to see the brand…

McLaren 750S: A New Benchmark in Supercar Performance
/
/
comments
Improving on already supremely super supercars is a tall task. McLaren, somehow, continues to do it. Every time the automaker produces an updated version of what seems like a now familiar formula, the results far exceed your expectations. Yes, of course, it’s going to be good, but how can it be that much better than…

I Don’t Need the Eight-Armed Octa-Flex Lift But I Want One!
/
/
comments
BendPak is one of the go-to companies when it comes to lifting vehicles into the air. They produce all sorts of 2- and 4-post lifts, different-height scissor-style lifts, lifts for boats, lifts for parking solutions, and way more. Their newest lift, though, is one that I find particularly interesting. It’s called the Octa-Flex EV12DPS, and…
