That… Is a Toyota Hiace van. From the factory, it came with an abysmal four cylinder engine and was best suited for moving a lot of people very, very slowly. Despite such humble beginnings, the Hiace has found its way into the heart of (a few) auto enthusiasts everywhere. Mainly in Japan. But this one [...]

This is far and away the most bad-ass grandma’s car I’ve ever seen. I mean seriously. Who would expect a Ford Fairmont to do anything besides drive slowly in the left lane and absent-mindedly leave it’s blinker on? This guy’s car though… It’s awesome. He’s stuck a turbocharged LSX under the hood, which is pretty [...]

I gotta confess, the E36 M3 is probably my favorite M car of all time. It’s not as rare and unreasonably expensive as the first one, or as complicated and unreasonably expensive as every M3 after it. That said… It would be better an LS. Like this one. All the style and handling of an [...]

With all the C7 talk stealing headlines we almost forgot to honor the C6′s last stand, a 60th Anniversary Arctic White 427 Convertible that rolled off the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly line at 8:04 AM on February 28th 2013. According to a Corvette Museum blog, 215,100 C6 Corvettes were produced since it was introduced in [...]

Is there a purer form of racing than the arm drop? I mean, there are more accurate ways sure, but you only need a guy in the middle to get a fair race going. In this case, it’s a pretty good match up. In one lane there’s an automatic GTO. Opposing it is a 240sx. [...]

Along with other obvious reasons, the flat plane crank in many Ferraris is partially responsible for the insanely awesome sound and high-RPM power. Yes, they’re a DOHC motor and an LS isn’t, but Lingenfelter is using the same technology in their 358 CI LS-powered 5th. Gen Camaro race car. It not only sounds amazing and [...]

In a lot of ways, the Fiero was way ahead of it’s time. It was a relatively inexpensive, well handling, mid-engine car. Even it’s production was weird: GM didn’t even want to build the thing until it was pitched by their young designers as a fuel efficient commuter. They built it, eventually, but it was [...]
