    Most of us have ridden in the back of a pickup truck at some point in our lives. However, I think this takes it to a new level… More pics after the jump.

    A traditional gasoline engine needs a mixture of air and fuel to create combustion inside the individual cylinder chambers (be they numbered 4, 6, 8, or 3 if you drive a DamnElantra®). If you simply let in a bunch of air and an Inland Empire Meth Lab amount of fuel, your car would first go…

    While the Best of France and Italy car show managed to have a representation of most every make and model of car those two countries officially sent to the U.S., as well as many that made it over here surreptitiously, one car that wasn’t present on the grass was the Peugeot 504.

    (Real Hoon of genius) We salute you, Mr. Overpass-hanging Beertruck Driver.

I myself still have a ’93 Buick Century gradually decaying in the rainy weather of the North Coast of British Columbia, and I’m not that elderly. Well, not compared to Graverobber, anyhow.
