The Ferguson Mustang FF: AWD and a 427!!!
/
/
comments
Ferguson has a special place in my heart as one of those pioneering but eccentric firms that flipped the establishment a bird and did something awesome. That something was to develop an AWD system that found its way into F1 cars and road cars, notably the Jensen FF based on the amazing Jensen Interceptor. But…

Name That Part: Innovative Synergies Edition

comments
If there was any doubt that we were going through a second Malaise Era, those doubts should be dispelled by the fact that I just passed a Toyota Avalon with a Landau roof package installed. What, the Avalon isn’t ugly enough on its own, someone thinks it needs help?

Willy Wonka Drives a Porsche?

comments
Over at the Autoblog, Sam Abuelsamid writes that Porsche has built their 10,000 Panamera, only 3 months after its introduction. While Sam and Autoblog are interested in that tidbit of news, what we find fascinating is that apparently the final assembly process of the four door Porsche is handled entirely by Aryan Oompa-Loompas. Of course,…

The Ohio Court of Appeals on Monday ruled on a speeding conviction case, and found that a motorist cannot be convicted of speeding based solely on how fast his car may have sounded. Daniel Freitag was ticketed on October 18th of 2007 by patrolman Ken Roth while he was driving on US Route 42. Freitag…

Hooniverse Asks- How Low Would You Go?
/
/
comments
Earlier we saw some 25-series tires, and at SEMA last year Kumho introduced 15-series tires to the amazement and bruised kidneys of automobile-dom. That seems like about the limit of tire-painting capabilities these days, and is more for show than for go, but we want to know how skinny is your rubber?

Rubber Band On The Run

comments
Do you see that tire there? It may be difficult to discern in light of the awesome douchiness of the Asanti rim, but rest assured there’s some Pirelli rubber wrapped around the loud and proud wheel. Also hampering visibility is the fact that it’s a 25-series tire.

Vega Panel Wagon: Well, We'd Be Impressed…

comments
Ah, the Vega: a standout amongst GMs various failures in selling small cars. Despite a checkered reliability history and a general association with the Malaise Era, the Vega has two things going for it: it’s cheap and rear-wheel-drive. What does one do with a cheap rear wheel drive Chevy? 383ci stroker + 700R4 swap, of…

How many of you know anything about the Hudson Motorcar Company, beside knowing about the Hudson Hornet that dominated NASCAR in the early 50’s? Show of hands….. Well, at one time it was the most popular of the “independent” car makers in America. They “stepped out” of the shadows of the others when they introduced…

Don’t get me wrong, I love, LOVE the rumble and power from a big V8 in any and every iteration. Heck, it’s practically un-American to not try and shoehorn that 350 you have sitting out in the garage into your wifes old Volvo 240. They go together like fried chicken and spaetzle (no really, try…

The Grandest of Cherokees – The Chief

comments
The modern Jeep Grand Cherokee is a capable yet comfortable mid-size SUV. It is a good soccermom utility vehicle but it is also useful enough for the casual off-roader. It has gone through a few iterations over the years, but along the way it lost some of its nobility. Through the majesty of the Los…
