A wheel starts off, quite simply, as an idea. The designer imagines it in their head. That brain imprint turns into a sketch, which eventually materializes in the virtual space of a computer. After that, metal is forged and bent. Seams are welded. Pieces are brought together to form the footprint of a vehicle. After…

Hooniverse Asks: What are you thankful for in the automotive world?

Today is Thanksgiving here in the United States. It’s a day reserved for stuffing your faces, arguing with relatives, watching football, and drinking too much before going to bed way too early. It’s also a time to take a moment and think about the things for which you’re thankful. So as it relates to cars……

Breaking Benz: It's not always a wrenching win
/

comments
Wrenchin’ ain’t easy. At least not for me. I find some victories but there’s certainly plenty of defeat as well. And today I’m sharing full-on lameness. I decided to replace the rheostat located on the back of the gauge cluster of my 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 sedan. This did not go as planned. The W114 Benz…

Hillclimb Monster: Watch a 700-hp Mitsubishi Evo scream up a Swiss hill
/

comments
The Mitsubishi 4G63 engine can be modified to do marvelous things. While there are a number of lower horsepower offerings using this engine, the performance minded vehicles fitted with this inline-4 are entertaining even in stock guise. Take the 4G63 and slap on crazy turbos, bore and stroke the engine, and then hold on. Like…

Super Vision: Watch this vintage F100 turned Trophy Truck blast around the desert

I love trophy trucks. These are super simple machines that are also very technically marvelous at the same time. Chris Isenhouer has built what might be the best one of the bunch. That’s beacauze it combines old-school-cool style with modern go-fast bits. This is a 1969 Ford F100 with a Chevy LS crate motor heart…

Regular Car Reviews rambles on in a ragtop 1969 Cadillac DeVille

comments
A monster lurks under the hood. A monster could be hidden in the trunk. A team of monsters could fit in the seating area. The 1969 Cadillac DeVille is a large car. It’s 30 inches longer than a modern Toyota Land Cruiser. And the 7.7-liter engine cranks out …enough horsepower to get the job. Regular…
