comments
Our good Friend Of Hooniverse Jeremy, aka damnElantra, posted this on his FaceBork page a few minutes ago, and I immediately fell in love with it. Much like an earlier Mercedes van someone posted that I finally — finally — got talked out of by cooler heads prevailing, I immediately developed a soft spot for…

If you’re driving down the highway and happen to spot an enormous bird on the side of the road, would your first thought be Mmm, vittles? That seems to have been the case with this pickup truck driver that decided to go a-rasslin’ with a road-side Emu. Unlike the eponymous Big Bird from Sesame Street,…

comments
You know it’s bad when the seller includes “death trap” in their listing title on eBay. This TR6 is rocking a 400 smallblock, 2-speed Powerglide and not much else. The top is shot, the windshield is some kind of cruel joke (the original’s in a box) and…well, it’s all about as bad as you’d fear.…

Have you ever been happily minding your own mundane workaday business when you were suddenly blindsided by a mindmelting vision that you couldn’t even dare think to try to make up? Then wish you had a camera and time to make sure it pics-or-it-didn’t-happened, before remembering you do and are therefore in (somewhat questionable) luck?

One fine day in September, I was on my way to Las Vegas for a weekend of fun and frivolity… the roads were light with traffic and the sky was clear. The 2009 BMW M3 sedan was built for stuff like this and I was happy to let the car chew up the highway miles.…
