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.
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.
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.
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.
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)One of the most luxurious cars I've ever been in. It retained its value fairly well and did not depreciate.
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.
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.
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.
Top 5 Mercedes Supercars(Apr 12, 2013)To further comments about Mission Viejo below, one of the CLK GTR's was confiscated due to several dealers being involved with selling and buying large shipment of ingredients for meth. I got to see inside the warehouse they were impounded at.
Top 5 Mercedes Supercars(Apr 12, 2013)Such a gorgeous machine. I still remember my heart lurching when one went vertical during, I think, Le Mans.
Supercars to Star in NFS Movie(Apr 09, 2013)I prefer the MP12 over the P1 too. Not saying I'd turn one down, just that if the opportunity came up and I had to make a choice I'd take the MP12.
Hunt Valley Cars and Coffee Turns 1(Apr 09, 2013)Agreed Jacob. It's a car that definitely deserves respect for what it has and can do but the styling has always been a bit on the bland side. But that's normal for Honda.
Hunt Valley Cars and Coffee Turns 1(Apr 09, 2013)Someone in my office has one of these. So much fun to drive. Got to take it for a spin on our lunch. I can see why it's so expensive.
Bugatti to Reveal Faster Veyron?(Apr 09, 2013)I'm thinking it'll hit a top speed between the 270-280 mph range. With 1600hp I don't believe that's enough to clear 290 if I remember my fluid dynamics classes correctly.
Jaguar Could Build More XKR-S GTs(Apr 09, 2013)He lost a bet with the Jaguar execs saying, "I will tattoo purple coloring over my entire body if Jaguar decides to make more of these. Any gambling punks feeling l
Polestar S60 Headed for Production?(Apr 09, 2013)Glad to see Volvo stepping up again. Always had a soft spot for them and had been hoping for a sportier, sexier car from them.
Maserati Reveals New Ghibli(Apr 09, 2013)Ghibli means a hot dust-carrying wind that moves across the desert. Or the name of a famous animation studio. Interesting choice of name for a Maserati.
Sexualized Cars: Bugatti 57 Atlantic(Apr 05, 2013)Reminds me of the Chrysler Atlantic concept car. Such a gorgeous concept but pales before this beauty.
Weber F1 World's Fastest 4WD?(Mar 29, 2013)Super flared rear reminds me of ghetto attempts at DIY flared from import car shows. Hideous.
Subaru Unleashes WRX Concept(Mar 28, 2013)It's a gorgeous concept and I love the sleeker lines but I agree it looks too little like a rally car. But then again the RS200 doesn't look like a rally car either.
Porsche Prices 911 GT3 at $130k(Mar 28, 2013)I've driven a few GT3's in the past and they are the epitome of NA Porsches. An absolute blast to drive and completely addicting.
Ram Considering its own Raptor?(Mar 26, 2013)I'm not a truck guy and even I give props to the Raptor where it's due. It's one badass truck.
Top 5 Track Editions(Mar 22, 2013)I'm sure the Juke-R's are spoken for. Could swear I read it somewhere. Hell I'd buy one if I could.
Top 5 Track Editions(Mar 22, 2013)I work near a Lexus design enter in Irvine, CA. I've heard and seen an LF-A driving through there. It's like music for the gods.
Famous Races: 24 Hours of Le Mans(Mar 22, 2013)We need photos of the CLK-GTR. Especially the one that got airborne vertically. I think that was Le Mans.
Famous Races: 24 Hours of Le Mans(Mar 22, 2013)Although I'm not a follower of the 24-hour race I try to watch it when I can. I will agree to its importance vociferously.
One-off Super Snake Up for Auction(Mar 18, 2013)225 on street Toyo Tires here. Built the Focus This! jet dragster in the late 90's sponsored by Ford and Toyo along with a few other contributors. The goal was to see how fast we could go on street radials. You can see videos on YouTube.
