When your V8-powered Volvo race car already has a 5-speed, Fiero wing, and hood scoop, what more do you need? That’s right, a great big Swedish Rebel Flag on the roof! We had this planned for quite a while (though several commenters read our minds and suggested the idea), and we finally made it happen… »

While the current hypercar mega-star, the Bugatti Veyron, may be a very impressive piece of machinery, the kids today often forget all about its predecessor. Yes, we’re talking about the good ol’ EB110, from the decade that brought us the Ferrari F50, Porsche 911 GT1, and McLaren F1. Since then, we’ve moved onwards and upwards—… »

We’ve always liked Eric Stoltz. We don’t know why given that he’s made more than a few movies that we can’t recommend (Killing Zoe and The Butterfly Effect to name two) and directed episodes of Quarterlife. All that aside, he shows up as characters we like from time-to-time and he just seems like the kind… »

The French car beat the German one in our last Choose Your Eternity matchup, which means we need to give France’s cross-Channel rival an opportunity to snatch the PCH Trophy (which features several rods hanging out the side and a spreading pool of oil below) today. We’re going with something a bit different this time,… »

You know you’ve made it as a hard partying celeb when yours face is chosen by paranoid delusional persons as that of drunk driving goddess incarnate. Lindsay Lohan is just so lucky. Her 2007 DUI mugshot is featured prominently as the example of those kinds of people who need an in-car breathalyzer ignition interlock, versus… »

Wow, we knew the those viking types had fun storming castles and laying siege to things, but who knew they were also masters of the four wheel drift?These guys do an amazing job with a nice slow controlled drift all the way around some roundabouts in their favorite Audi 100 wagon. Apparently pounding… »

When you’re trying to sell a beat-to-hell ‘67 Impala wagon equipped with an even more beat-to-hell ToteMotel camper on the back, you have to figure on a few chuckles from potential buyers. Here we have a seller who feels so confident that his or her Impala/ToteMotel combo will make its reserve price that wisecracking questions… »

Supposedly the last of the African 504s was built a few years ago… yet the Peugeot Nigeria website still offers the 504 Configurator. You don’t have a lot of options (though you can get a wagon), but it’s a genuine late-60s-technology 504 that we must assume is built way better than the citrus-flavored examples that… »

We’re well aware of water cooling in engines, and hell, even in computers, but a water-cooled t-shirt isn’t such a common idea. The Club System 24 is a t-shirt that is wrapped with eight feet of double insulated hose that flows cool water around the body keeping you nice and relaxed in that sweltering-hot car…. »
