    Many of us are finally sobering to the realization that the Tesla Cybertruck wasn’t a joke. It seems like Tesla really wants to build and sell this truck. Thousands of people put a deposit on it. I have theories and opinions on this truck that I’ll keep them to myself for now. Those who put…

    “It runs, though, don’t it?” is exactly what you’d expect to hear from someone who just ripped through a suburban neighborhood in a tube chassis bug with a high-power superbike engine. Especially when they pull it into a shop that appears to house some kind of tank-treaded hot rod as well. Hudlow Axle is based…

    Of all the cars I could have expected to see on display at Atlanta’s Caffeine and Octane car show, this one was pretty far down the list. The monthly Sunday morning car meet that’s outgrown every parking lot it’s ever been moved to delivered a car that’s exceedingly rare in this part of the world.…

    It’s a known fact that vintage racing is some of the prettiest racing on earth. The highly advanced and technical race cars of the modern era are spectacular in their own way, but nothing can compare to the spectacle of historic race cars reliving the good ole days with some friendly competition. One such event…

    When you buy something on spec, having read a bit of online text, maybe seen a couple of photos, you know perfectly well that you’re going in without knowing the full story. It all adds to the air of mystery. Mind you, even the most in-depth advertorial combined with exhibition-quality photography can only tell you…

  • Modern Art Monday: Visiting The Workshop Of Chuck Beck

    A permanent fixture of Chuck Beck’s face is the cigarette lolling lazily out of the corner of his mouth.

    The modern automotive world is full of amazing new cars. Yet when we look at them, they all seem kind of plain, kind of generic, and kind of similar, if not to each other then to other cars in the maker’s line-up. It’s certainly not everyday that a brand new car just strikes you with its…

    Monterey Car Week has come to a close. Our man Mad Science himself was there, and he took in the sights and sounds at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Young Greg Catch-A-Durian-Fruit was there with his family, and Parsh-Phanatic Bradley BrownHell was there to sniff the tailpipes of anything with an engine that lay flat. We…

    Have you seen the new Lego Ferrari F40 kit? It’s pretty awesome, so I pre-ordered one for early delivery, and I just finished building it. It took about 4 and a half hours across two evenings to put everything together, and it was a lot of fun. There were some pretty interesting engineering solutions that Lego…
