Rubber Band On The Run
/

comments
Do you see that tire there? It may be difficult to discern in light of the awesome douchiness of the Asanti rim, but rest assured there’s some Pirelli rubber wrapped around the loud and proud wheel. Also hampering visibility is the fact that it’s a 25-series tire.

Vega Panel Wagon: Well, We'd Be Impressed…

comments
Ah, the Vega: a standout amongst GMs various failures in selling small cars. Despite a checkered reliability history and a general association with the Malaise Era, the Vega has two things going for it: it’s cheap and rear-wheel-drive. What does one do with a cheap rear wheel drive Chevy? 383ci stroker + 700R4 swap, of…

Don’t get me wrong, I love, LOVE the rumble and power from a big V8 in any and every iteration. Heck, it’s practically un-American to not try and shoehorn that 350 you have sitting out in the garage into your wifes old Volvo 240. They go together like fried chicken and spaetzle (no really, try…

The Grandest of Cherokees – The Chief

comments
The modern Jeep Grand Cherokee is a capable yet comfortable mid-size SUV. It is a good soccermom utility vehicle but it is also useful enough for the casual off-roader. It has gone through a few iterations over the years, but along the way it lost some of its nobility. Through the majesty of the Los…

Collective Hoonsteria: The Great Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic of ‘54
/

comments
The year is 1954. The place is the quiet college town of Bellingham, Washington. It all started one morning when residents noticed strange damage on their windshield. Neighbors yakked about it, and soon it was all over the local radar. Was it vandals? Possibly using BBs? That’s sure what it looked like, thought the locals,…

Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions: Part 5 – Multi-Link Suspension
/

comments
Suspension… It has a big job every single second your vehicle moves down the road. Springs, shocks, and many mechanical linkages working together to produce a ride desired by the person behind the wheel. Some people like it soft and luxurious, and they buy a full-size Lexus. Some people like it stiff and hard-core, and…

Buy a Bullitt-Powered Aston-Martin DBS to Impersonate Two Idols At Once!

comments
As dedicated fans of mechanically sound but otherwise rough classics, this ’69 Aston Martin DBS has us going “hmmm”. In place of the original 280ish HP 4.0L I-6, the motor and 5-speed stick from a 2001 Bullitt Edition Mustang’s been swapped in. One might point out that the 01 Bullitt made a mere 265HP, but…
