New Kid On The Block: An OG Gymkhana Experience
/
/
comments
Ken Block’s original Gymkhana Practice video was like capturing lightning in a bottle. It was a viral hit among even folks who knew nothing about cars, and with budgets in the millions and huge closed-down city street locations, none of the later videos could evoke the feelings that the first one did. When I saw…

/
/
comments
We’ve renamed the series Shift Happens, because it’s just better. Credit goes to Josh Ostrander for that one. In this episode, I take the W114 Benz to a shop to have it given a proper look over. This is something I should’ve done before I bought it… but I have no patience, and I’m dumb.…

comments
My 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 is getting a quick upgrade. It’s a small one, but I think it does a nice job on supplying an extra dash of style. I’ve purchased a set of Hella Lamin-X lens covers to give my fog lights that yellow look. Against the blue paint work, the yellow fog lights pop…

The Hoonigan Daily Transmission series opens a window into the goings-on at the company’s Long Beach headquarters. This is where you’ll find all sorts of machines doing all sorts of vehicular shenanigans. Most often it’s some manner of drift car, but that is certainly not always the case.

The Car Bros are back with a new video, and this one goes deep. It’s a peek at street racing battle between a Ford Mustang and a Subaru WRX STI. There’s clear tension between the two drivers. Yet there is also respect… and lots of shifting. Power shifting. Slap shifting. The ole automatic back and…

Clarion built a better OG Acura NSX

The original Acura NSX is something special. It’s a real driver’s car that managed to stun the world, not with tremendous power but instead by providing a truly world-class driving experience. Still, there’s room for improvement with any car and Clarion has plucked an old NSX out from the crowd and turned into a stunner.…

"We run the night" is your automotive visual awesome for the day

comments
Some folks are really good at pointing the camera at a subject and capturing that focal point for all its worth. The Lowdown and Hartnett Media teamed up to do that recently when they shot a group of cars taking over the late night roads in a section of Australia. Visually, this is an epic…

I love lowriders. If I had the money and space for more cars, there would be an old Impala in the garage. The style and love put into those cars is genuine, and a well built lowrider is beautiful machine to see rolling down the road. One you’re likely not to have seen before is…

Finally the HoonTruck gets some Quick Shift love. Today we’re going to look at the upgraded audio system I’ve had installed in my 1965 Ford F100. It’s been supplied by the good folks at Clarion, and it was installed by Beach Auto in Huntington Beach. We’re working with the Clarion NZ503 head unit, a pair…
