Screen Cars: 1949 Mercury Eight Coupe (2 hours ago) I love old Mercs. If this were mine I'd slam it and cruise it all over the place. I do some tail draggn'
Screen Cars: 1949 Mercury Eight Coupe (2 hours ago) Such a clean Lead Sled.
Anticipating Hyundai's Pickup (5 hours ago) Quite a few Hyundai's in the shop.
Anticipating Hyundai's Pickup (5 hours ago) They may be the #4 slot in terms of production numbers. But being #4 in numbers, doesn't mean your vehicles are the best quality. Hyundai has come a long way. I'm still a little skeptical though. My brother says they are crap to work on and he sees
Students Create Jaguar Art (5 hours ago) Nice metal working ability.
Dubai's Veyron Cop Car a Fake (May 22, 2013) Wow, look at the lambo and the Ferrari, then look back at this. ****FacePalm**** when you realize how bad the attempt is, and that it actually fooled you in the last article.
Dubai's Veyron Cop Car a Fake (May 22, 2013) Fooled by photoshop!
Raptor Flies 180 Feet Over Sand Dune (May 22, 2013) That's not a raptor, that's a full on Baja trophy truck. Not a single raptor component on it, Maybe the block if its the 6.2. Other than that the chassis are completely different.
Raptor Flies 180 Feet Over Sand Dune (May 22, 2013) Too much RPM on the rear wheels. A little brake tap would have solved that landing. Inexperienced driver? Oh well, you learn from your mistakes.
Lambo Murcielago Crashes at Gumball (May 21, 2013) Lou, I see what you did there.
Hennessey Builds VelociRaptor SUV (May 21, 2013) Yeah, with all that added weight, you would hardly notice 600 HP.
Hennessey Builds VelociRaptor SUV (May 21, 2013) Four doors and that extension, what does it weigh... This pic looks photoshopped.
Challenger to Get Supercharged V8? (May 20, 2013) It does have some decent body lines. It just needs to edge it's way into the competition.
Challenger to Get Supercharged V8? (May 20, 2013) I honestly feel like the challenger will never be much of a competitor to the Mustang and Camaro until it sheds some weight. The Mustang and Camaro are both so close in weight and HP, but the Challenger is odd man out.
Challenger to Get Supercharged V8? (May 20, 2013) Tim, red-eyed flaming grumpy cat, it's got me laughing.
Cars and Coffee Boston (May 20, 2013) I'd drive the wheels off it b
Gumball 3000 Kicks Off in Denmark (May 20, 2013) Florida plate, representing.
Streamlining a Truck's Aerodynamics (May 18, 2013) Single cab, short bed, my kinda truck.
Turbo Ford Ranger Goes 175 MPH (May 18, 2013) Wow the ignorance within those arguments....
Motoring TV: Pinks (May 16, 2013) I asked the guy if the show was real or fake and he kinda wouldn't answer...
Motoring TV: Pinks (May 16, 2013) Anyone remember one of the first episodes with the orange 69' Camarillo with Boggs Gasses written on the side? It was filmed at my home track Orlando Speed World. And Boggs gasses delivers to us at work.
Motoring TV: Pinks (May 16, 2013) Awesome show! I miss watching pinks, rather than pinks all out.
Honda Confirms Return to F1 (May 16, 2013) Power sports, not power stoppers **
Honda Confirms Return to F1 (May 16, 2013) Honda power stoppers dominates Supercross. I wish Yamaha would get their factory program back together. Unrelated, yes. I'm just surprised Honda pulled out of F1 when they dominate Supercross.
24 Incredible Headlight Designs (May 16, 2013) THE ULTIMATE CAR. People's choice. That would be awesome. To see what is the best car ever, I've always wanted to know how that'd end up. The Ford GT would be in there somewhere.
Dodge Tarts Up the Dart (May 16, 2013) Turbo 4 would do this car wonders. Not sure if awd is out of the question, they did awd on the 300, develop awd for the dart.
Dodge Tarts Up the Dart (May 16, 2013) Yeah dodge should totally put the hemi in their FWD economy car! What are they waiting for!?
BMW i3 to Cost How Much?! (May 15, 2013) Pizza cutter wheels
Motor Trend Gets its Rat Rod On (May 15, 2013) I don't see the vid, I watched a different video before I guess. I know they were taking bids on their Facebook page and they went over $1000.
Widebody C5 Vette on D2Forged (May 15, 2013) Mitchell, I doubt CB creates corvette articles to spark hate upon Colby. It's possible there is a corvette biased admin working for CB or corvette have just been in the news lately.
Motor Trend Gets its Rat Rod On (May 15, 2013) They had this up for sale after they did the show, think it sold for like $1000
Motor Trend Gets its Rat Rod On (May 15, 2013) Not the actual jeep from HotRod, but those mud terrains look sick on there. A little twist to a Rat Rod that you usually see white walls on. Has to be a little bit of a rough ride.
Rare Corvette C6RS Up For Sale (May 15, 2013) Leno is what you call a connoisseur.
Widebody C5 Vette on D2Forged (May 15, 2013) Not bad, I'd drive it fur sure.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 15, 2013) Lol true, idk if it were me there's just so much I would change. Starting with the brakes, if it has a flat head V8 I'd leave that.
BMW i3 to Cost How Much?! (May 15, 2013) But guys.... It's a BMW.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Those drums in the front HAVE to go.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Karman Ghia to the right.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) I haven't seen them before with the white lettering though.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Looks like the correct pattern for the Goodyear F1 Supercar. There's a F1 Supercar, and a GS I think? Both F1s different looking tires. It also looks like the pattern differs slightly as you get into wider tires.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) I had F1's on my lowered truck. I prefer more directional looking tires.
Supercars Invade the Highway (May 14, 2013) I'm somewhat of a purist, but the wheels look kind of good.
Subaru BRZ Tuned to 450 HP (May 14, 2013) Oops!
Subaru BRZ Tuned to 450 HP (May 14, 2013) That's plenty of power
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) I love Tennessee
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Nice color combo, just gimme 10 minutes with your car keys, sir.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) 32' ford, I'd turn it into a roadster.
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Classy
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Oh yes, please and thank you
Nashville Cars and Coffee May Meet (May 14, 2013) Corvair
9-Cylinder Chopper from Germany (May 14, 2013) I know, it was a joke
9-Cylinder Chopper from Germany (May 14, 2013) Nine = No, in German.
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 14, 2013) Big and heavy? Do you realize that a cobra weighs almost nothing and a 6'0 driver can almost not even fit in its cockpit?
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 14, 2013) G37 I think. With his 11k a year job. 11k is well below the poverty line in the U.S. btw. It would be like a homeless man owning a G37.
9-Cylinder Chopper from Germany (May 14, 2013) Cool, yes. Practical, no.
Volkswagen Enlarges the Amarok (May 13, 2013) It's actually not a bad looking truck compared to some of today's trucks...
Volkswagen Enlarges the Amarok (May 13, 2013) I would debadge this.
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 13, 2013) Is "go home garbage", what the kids at school tell you?
Playmate of the Year Gets a Jag (May 13, 2013) She got playmate of the year? My iPhone has more curves than her!
Playmate of the Year Gets a Jag (May 13, 2013) "My parents are SO proud of me"
Which Ferrari Will Be the Next XX? (May 13, 2013) Well, that windshield wiper sticking up has got to be annoying.
P1 Supercar Sunday 2013 (May 13, 2013) Before I continue scrolling, this is by far my favorite car here. I'm calling it early.
Corvette Drift Failure Leads to Crash (May 12, 2013) Looks like the only car that got damaged was his own. He took off and kept going because he looked like an idiot. In surprised the driver of the truck didn't stop, maybe he didn't have insurance lol.
Corvette Drift Failure Leads to Crash (May 12, 2013) The lifted escort, ha lol.
Lamborghini Egoista Concept Unveiled (May 12, 2013) You could harvest some corn or wheat with this.
Lamborghini Egoista Concept Unveiled (May 12, 2013) Front end of a combine
Lamborghini Egoista Concept Unveiled (May 12, 2013) The front end looks like the cutter head of a Combine. Anyone who's ever been on a farm or knows farm equipment can see that. Lamborghini getting back to its roots? Farm equipment.
Cars and Coffee Oklahoma City (May 11, 2013) I see a beetle and a 356
Cars and Coffee Oklahoma City (May 11, 2013) Wow, clean and original.
Cars and Coffee Oklahoma City (May 11, 2013) Patrick, you posted something about this a week ago lol.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) Trunk rack
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) It's not beat up really, just didn't age very well and the wheels are dirty.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) @ryan, it's gotta be more than $200, the guy could get $200 from the scrap man.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) The series like this, and the cars and coffee are my favorite CB articles.
This Ferrari F430 is FUBAR (May 10, 2013) For a 186mph wreck, the car looks pretty solid. The big chunk missing is from the emergency people cutting up the car, that rocker has a clean cut. Most of the major damage is from cutting to free the occupants. I'd like to see the car before the cut
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) They can be had on Craigslist all day long for less than 3000 in decent shape with mileage around 100,000 or less.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) Thunderbird Super Coupe, these are nice cars. Kind of powerful for a car like it of its time. The 4.6 thunderbirds were like mustangs in a thunderbird body, good alternative to a stang.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) The thunderbird was never really a corvette competitor, sadly Ford dropped the ball. The thunderbird has always had its own little niche to me, never really fell into a class. It was a class all it's own.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) They look like old thunderbird badges or Chrysler.
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) Make offer anyone?
5 Eighties American Luxury Blunders (May 10, 2013) A little experimentation with rebadging, luckily Cadillac no longer does it so poorly anymore. The new Cadillacs are impressive, this is lackluster.
This Ferrari F430 is FUBAR (May 10, 2013) 186 is completely okay, as long as the passenger is okay with it. Sometimes tires have their faults. What an unfortunate event. 200+ you should be alone.
This Ferrari F430 is FUBAR (May 10, 2013) What are we going to start the bidding at for the seats?
Toyota 4Runner Pickup Imagined (May 10, 2013) Back looks like Mitsubishi raider
Toyota 4Runner Pickup Imagined (May 10, 2013) Kind of looks like a transformer.
Top 5 Pacesetting Supercars (May 09, 2013) Moto GP should have a Pace Bike, not a car.
Usain Bolt Gets Unique Gold GT-R (May 09, 2013) It's just a little annoying to watch someone gloat like that. But he is crazy fast.
Usain Bolt Gets Unique Gold GT-R (May 09, 2013) Who's faster, Usain Bolt, or the GTR? Which runs a faster 100M? Bolts kind of a jerk, he came off very self centered when they interviewed him at the Olympics. "I'm so great, blah blah blah"
VW Amarok R-Style for Worthersee (May 09, 2013) I see a radiator, tire and side pod sticking up.
VW Amarok R-Style for Worthersee (May 09, 2013) Shifter kart in the bed!
Dead-End Technologies: Cadillac Fleetwood V8-6-4 (May 08, 2013) Slam it, slam it to the ground.
Terrafugia's New Self-Flying Car (May 08, 2013) Needs an upper and lower cutter assembly, for amateurs flying at low altitudes. Power-lines beware!
Micro Mayhem is Stop-Motion Madness (May 08, 2013) Still motion I believe it's called? Pretty neat
DeLorean Abandoned in the Woods (May 08, 2013) That'll buff out, no really, it will. Remove the tree sap and polish that stainless right up.
DeLorean Abandoned in the Woods (May 08, 2013) Look like that support or skid plates been welded at some point, but overall pretty clean for sitting a while.
DeLorean Abandoned in the Woods (May 08, 2013) Pretty clean underside.
DeLorean Abandoned in the Woods (May 08, 2013) The open refrigerator in front of it as well.
DeLorean Abandoned in the Woods (May 08, 2013) More interesting, a "Pontiac Fiero forum".
Top 5 High-Performance Minivans (May 08, 2013) The front end kind of looks like a ford contour.
Top 5 High-Performance Minivans (May 08, 2013) Rollover=Glass
