Hooniverse Asks: What’s the Best Front-Wheel Drive Performance Car?

Go ahead. Say "wrong-wheel drive" again…

12 to Go, Honey: ’57 12 Hours of Sebring...in Color!

Unlike Chrysler's interpretation, this Sebring is full of win.

Pssst! Hey, you! Yeah, the one sitting at the computer! You like racing that turns right as well as left? How about the days when society dictated that men belonged in the garage tinkering with British sports cars and women belonged in the kitchen? [...]
