First New Alpine to Fight the 911 (Jun 15, 2013) Oh god yes.
Granny Bike Becomes World's Most Dangerous (Jun 15, 2013) Id say having fun IS doing something with your life. We should all be so lucky.
These Car Accidents are Just Nuts (Jun 15, 2013) Any survivors?
With Garages this Sick, Who Needs a House (Jun 15, 2013) I saw this scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Any minute it's gonna go careening out the window.
The Many Faces of the Pontiac Fiero (Jun 13, 2013) What the actual fuck? Hyundai Tiburon concept mutated.
Pagani Zonda Cinque is the Ultimate Wedding Car (Jun 13, 2013) That poor car.
Pagani Zonda Cinque is the Ultimate Wedding Car (Jun 13, 2013) My bumper sticker says 'Unicorns are real. Virgins don't exist.'
Porsche Reveals New LMP1 Prototype (Jun 12, 2013) God I love LM cars. Almost as much as rally and F1 cars.
Porsche Reveals New LMP1 Prototype (Jun 12, 2013) Niiiiiiiice. It's about time.
Bye-Bye Shelby GT500, Hello Cobra? (Jun 12, 2013) A supercharged Mustang is iconic. Few cars go hand in hand when you think of a supercharger. I hope they don't drop it.
Pro Lady Golfer Does Donuts in an LFA (Jun 09, 2013) LPGA, model, and car nut. Quite the polymath renaissance woman. Need me one of them.
Lambo CEO Isn't Interested in Hybrids (Jun 09, 2013) They don't. They made one a long time ago but this one is just a concept.
Lambo CEO Isn't Interested in Hybrids (Jun 09, 2013) Somewhat disappointing. A supercar should be at the forefront of emerging tech, not cling to old cliches. They should be innovative and trendsetting. I can understand why Lambo feels that way but I hope they change their minds.
Top 5 British Supercar Manufacturers (Jun 06, 2013) Saw one of these in Costa Mesa, CA. It was impounded after the dealership was arrested for meth dealing. The car belonged to Mike Tyson and they cracked the fender when it was impounded. Broke my heart seeing it in the impound like that.
$6.2 Million Ferrari Trio is a Gift from God (Jun 06, 2013) Not my favorite Ferrari but I wouldn't kick it out of bed either.
Ultimate Auto Girl Charms Super Snake (Jun 04, 2013) The flared fenders kill it for me. Usually I like wide body but this makes it look corpulent.
Ultimate Auto Girl Charms Super Snake (Jun 04, 2013) Stop with the shitty HDR. Over saturated HDR doesn't make you an edgy photographer. It shows you know shit about photography.
We Want the PGO Cevennes Speedster in the US (Jun 02, 2013) Wow Bob Billy. That's some awesome writing ya got there. Scion is the budget/younger market branch if Toyota. I am not a big American car fan but we definite have more than just the Abarth as attractive cars.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Powered Audi A7? (Jun 02, 2013) @Thai Chau Ha - many auto manufacturers have a fuel cell vehicle being tested. Not just BMW. Honda has one you can actually lease.
The Great Sounding Maserati Ghibli (Jun 02, 2013) Given other associations with the name 'Ghibli' I half expect to see a Totoro or a character from one of Miyazaki's films in the driver seat.
Car-Plane Guaranteed Not to Get a Ticket (Jun 02, 2013) Far right and far left I think are the only pretty ones. Look like some nice southern comfort type of women.
Owner Says it Sucks to Own a Diablo (Jun 02, 2013) It's very clearly satirical.
Dyno Test Fail: Camaro Tires Explode (Jun 02, 2013) That's what ya get for not using spec rated tires. :-/
Dyno Test Fail: Camaro Tires Explode (Jun 02, 2013) Used to want one until I sat in one. Horrible blind spots and utterly uncomfortable.
Lexus Pays Tribute to its LFA (Jun 02, 2013) Lexus has a design center in Irvine, CA down the street from my office. I heard a massive roar and thought it was some tuned up Lambo or Ferrari. An LF-A comes tearing around the corner with that F1 sound. I was smitten. Hard.
"Snake & Mongoose" Racing to Theaters (Jun 02, 2013) My former boss is Richard Schroeder, who also was a pioneer in this era and drove Bad Bossa Nova as well as Emergency West. He would regale me with stories about these two guys. Made me jealous of that era.
"Snake & Mongoose" Racing to Theaters (Jun 02, 2013) I'm an idiot. Completely overlooked that it said 'Driven' at the top. Mea culpa.
"Snake & Mongoose" Racing to Theaters (Jun 02, 2013) You mean Sylvester Stallones 'Driven' isn't on that list? ;-) Rally Racing needs a halo movie to champion it. And it needs some Group B action.
New BMW X5 M Sport Revealed (May 31, 2013) Just 4 whole superchargers? Paltry. I need at least two turbos per cylinder and four superchargers for each intake manifold runner. It needs to be a class 5 tornado in the cylinder.
Classic JDM: Mazda Cosmo (May 29, 2013) Man I remember working on these. This image brings back happy memories.
Classic JDM: Toyota AE86 (May 27, 2013) Oh man. The classic mushroom shape of the old HKS air intake. The purple and gold filter elements were so rare in the 90's.
Looking Back at the Toyota Supra (May 25, 2013) Twin turbo supras still fetch a nice premium if you can find one. Even now they can still run for $38K+
Top 5 Maserati Concepts (May 25, 2013) Wow I remember I had a plastic model of this. It was the only Maserati I'd ever seen as a kid so I thought all maseratis were this wild. Needless to say subsequent Maserati cars seemed timid in comparison so I never paid much attention until recent.
Student Envisages Modern Moretti EV (May 25, 2013) Probably. But still classy looking.
Pagani Hosts Private Gathering (May 25, 2013) /carboner
McLaren 12C Bursts Into Flames (May 22, 2013) Wow nxs. Can you even write at a junior high level so the rest of us can understand just what the hell you're trying to spew?
Screen Cars: Shelby GT500 (May 22, 2013) For once I find myself in agreement with Colby. Hell must've frozen over.
Eleanor Sold for $1.1 Million (May 21, 2013) Sexy ass profile.
22 Loud and Sexy Exhausts (May 20, 2013) *used to write for an automotive magazine. Ran out of letter space.
22 Loud and Sexy Exhausts (May 20, 2013) Colby is just a juvenile who's doing some bench racing because of his anonymity on the Internet. His posts clearly demonstrate a lack of true understanding about cars. I used to write for one many years ago and Colby's posts never cease to entertain
22 Loud and Sexy Exhausts (May 20, 2013) Rainbow colored steel. Omg I'm in tears. Thank you for this much needed laugh. Oh man.
BMW & Toyota Developing Uber-86 (May 20, 2013) Always thought the BMW roadsters looked like a penis with gills.
Mercedes Reveals the New S-Class (May 19, 2013) Still not a fan of the direction MB is going with its rear shape.
24 Incredible Headlight Designs (May 16, 2013) No Infiniti Q45 that had the cell headlights?
Tesla Model S Outsells German Rivals (May 14, 2013) There are a couple teslas at my office. Super sexy. Glad to see Elon Musk's genius paying off.
Lambo Gallardo by Dallas Performance (May 14, 2013) Fap worthy.
Top 5 Ferrari Concepts (May 11, 2013) Wtf did mr Romero say? Arrow dynamics. Wow.
Dead-End Technologies: Stout Scarab (May 07, 2013) Seems like something a vampire would ride around in.
Cars and Coffee Charlotte (May 07, 2013) Wish they would've built the GT90 though.
Cars and Coffee Charlotte (May 07, 2013) I knew someone who upgraded his Espirit with a T3/T4 hybrid turbo. Car shot flames out the exhaust like a flame thrower. It was featured in Turbo Magazine in the late 90's. Such a badass car.
VW Scirocco Million Edition Revealed (May 05, 2013) Agreed Tyrone.
DC Design Avanti Coming in 2014 (May 04, 2013) Sumo wrestler face.
DC Design Avanti Coming in 2014 (May 04, 2013) It's like the top and bottom halves of a press mold weren't aligned properly.
Nissan Restyles 370Z Nismo for 2014 (May 01, 2013) The VQ engine is absolutely one of the best V6's of the era.
Honda Gears Up for Pikes Peak (Apr 27, 2013) No doubt it looks awesome but that just adds to the disappointment.
BMW Photoshoot Goes Burlesque (Apr 27, 2013) She takes up both seats; one for each cheek.
BMW Photoshoot Goes Burlesque (Apr 27, 2013) She looks a lot like my ex in this shot. Shudder. There's a reason why I call her 'psycho #2'.
BMW Photoshoot Goes Burlesque (Apr 27, 2013) Dat ass. Dem legs. Drool.
BMW Photoshoot Goes Burlesque (Apr 27, 2013) She's utterly stunning. So is the model.
BMW Photoshoot Goes Burlesque (Apr 27, 2013) Damn that's one classy babe
Honda Gears Up for Pikes Peak (Apr 26, 2013) Turned out to be such a disappointing car. Was expecting a cheap, fun new CR-X but was sorely wrong. Over priced and under powered.
Honda Gears Up for Pikes Peak (Apr 26, 2013) Yup it's a Honda simply with different badging. If you look at the Acura badge, it's just a modified Honda 'H' with the tops tilted together.
Top 5 Most Iconic Racing Liveries (Apr 26, 2013) Now THAT'S a car.
Italdesign Parcour Hits the Track (Apr 20, 2013) Rear looks like a cross-eyed Cylon with glasses.
Italdesign Parcour Hits the Track (Apr 20, 2013) I think it's ugly as hell and yet strangely attractive.
Italdesign Parcour Hits the Track (Apr 20, 2013) I would totally show up at my parkour classes in this just to see my students' faces.
BMW 4 Series M Sport at the Ring (Apr 20, 2013) Wish the coupe would've remained as the 3-series with the 4-door being the 4-series. The nomenclature fits a bit better.
Mazzanti Evantra Debuts in Monaco (Apr 20, 2013) Interior is rather cheap looking and doesn't complement the exterior.
Mazzanti Evantra Debuts in Monaco (Apr 20, 2013) Innnteresting. Nice to see something different although it reminds me of my Honda Element.
Mazzanti Evantra Debuts in Monaco (Apr 20, 2013) The headlights do seem a bit Pagani-ish with a bit of SSC and Spyker.
Lambo Preparing Aventador SV? (Apr 20, 2013) Someone near my office in Irvine, CA has a twin turbo mod. It sounds fucking wicked.
Lambo Preparing Aventador SV? (Apr 20, 2013) That $4M per car isn't that much for a car company. That barely pays for the R&D that goes into them.
5 Student-Designed Supercar Concepts (Apr 19, 2013) Would take this over all others.
Honda Opens NSX Order Books (Apr 19, 2013) All we need now is a return of the Supra.
Toyota GT86 Cabrio in Patent Images (Apr 16, 2013) Although I did used to publish my own import racing magazine in the 90s so I got to have quite a bit of fun. If you look on YouTube for a jet powered Ford Focus station wagon, it's an exhibition car we built. 'Twas fun to drive.
Toyota GT86 Cabrio in Patent Images (Apr 16, 2013) I agree with the feminine comment but some open cars do convey more masculinity. Open Mustangs are one. This one is unisex IMO. I used to race a Mercury Capri XR2 and I miss the drop top on it but I ended up blowing it up on the track. Too much boost
Toyota GT86 Cabrio in Patent Images (Apr 16, 2013) It's a video game company so feel free to apply. I unfortunately won't name it though but it's a fairly well known one.
Saab Planned a New Sonnet (Apr 16, 2013) Way ahead of its time
Toyota GT86 Cabrio in Patent Images (Apr 16, 2013) 2x GT-R's, 3x GT500's, and a few Exiges.
Toyota GT86 Cabrio in Patent Images (Apr 16, 2013) There are 9 of them at my office. Granted its the right demographic, there are 6 FR-S and 3 BRZ's. I thought about getting one as well until I counted how many there are at work. But then again we also have an MP4-12C, DB7, 430 Scuderia, 2 Aventadors
Renaultsport Trophy Pulls Taxi Duty (Apr 16, 2013) The thumbnail image made me think it was a deformed P1 at first. Glad I was wrong. I love this thing.
Expensive Failures: Rolls-Royce Camargue (Apr 16, 2013) Wow rear seat belts. The Silver Cloud III my dad owned didn't have rear seat belts.
Expensive Failures: Rolls-Royce Camargue (Apr 16, 2013) One of the most luxurious cars I've ever been in. It retained its value fairly well and did not depreciate.
Expensive Failures: Rolls-Royce Camargue (Apr 16, 2013) My father owned a 1969 Silver Cloud III, the white one in the very first Grey Poupon commercial. One
Student Envisions BMW MZ8 (Apr 16, 2013) Strangely enough America is number 8 on the world obesity list. Saudi Arabia is #1.
Student Envisions BMW MZ8 (Apr 16, 2013) I love the tail lights
Honda Civic Tourer Almost Ready (Apr 15, 2013) Factory turbo diesel civic? Never thought I'd see the day.
5 Failed Auto Revivals (Apr 15, 2013) Dafuk?
Expensive Failures: Cizeta V16T (Apr 15, 2013) Tyler read on. You're right because it's based on the Diablo.
Top 5 Most Expensive SUVs (Apr 15, 2013) Strangely I'm attracted to it
Top 5 Most Expensive SUVs (Apr 15, 2013) Used to love this thing until I drove it. One of the most uncomfortable SUVs I've ever driven. It was disappointing how poorly my 6'4" frame fit in it.
Flying Bugatti in "Elysium" (Apr 12, 2013) I thought I saw the Bugatti emblem in the trailer.
Mexicans to Build New Alpine A-110 (Apr 12, 2013) Ford didn't make the first car, but they established the assembly line...or at least they're credited for it. Not sure why people keep thinking ford made the automobile.
Mexicans to Build New Alpine A-110 (Apr 12, 2013) It crossed the border and fell off the fence. On its face.
Porsche to Introduce Turbo Flat-Four (Apr 12, 2013) Ford's turbo four does also have precedence with the Mustang SVO, arguably one of the funnest 'Stangs to drive.
Ultimate Aero World’s Fastest (Again) (Apr 12, 2013) God I love this car. Better looking than the Agera, Veyron, LaFerrari, P1, or whatever. Absolutely sex on wheels.
Defunct Euro Carmakers: TVR (Apr 12, 2013) Oh damn I'm in the same boat as others. Didn't know they closed shop. I'd been wondering why they've been so quiet as of late. Always loved their non-conformist designs. Seeing a car on Password Swordfish made me happy.
One-Off Lamborghini Pregunta For Sale (Apr 12, 2013) Sure she's included...at her current age which probably hasn't done much better than the car. I keed I keed.
One-Off Lamborghini Pregunta For Sale (Apr 12, 2013) I love the headlights.
One-Off Lamborghini Pregunta For Sale (Apr 12, 2013) I dunno. It's kinda growing on me from this angle.
