You won't find any of these items at the bottom of a pile of soccer moms at your local Wal-Mart. In fact, you won't find them in many stores at all. This is the gear you'd ask Santa for and he'd even be like, "Whoa, who do I look like, Mark Zuckerberg?" While you probably won't find any of these drool-inducing items ... continue reading

When we first caught a glimpse of the new VW Beetle the first thing we thought was, "Man, it's going to be a lot tougher to know when to punch our older brother in the arm." We'll be honest, the Beetle was never the manliest car in the world. It wasn't exactly on the cusp of Mustang & Camaro country but it ... continue reading
For as long as we can remember, we've been drawing pictures whenever a piece of paper ended up in front of us and there was a writing implement nearby. Most of the time it's just to pass time in meetings about project charters, TPS reports and lengthy discussions about what "we actually do here," but we enjoy it regardless. ... continue reading
We do so much with our iPhones and iPads that we can imagine a not too distant future where they will sprout wheels and we'll actually drive them around like the little race cars those colorfully dressed monkeys used to do. Until this utopia exists, we will just use our iPhone or iPad to help us keep an eye on what's ... continue reading
If we claimed we built a car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds you'd probably be like, "Those guys at Cool Material have been hitting the sauce again." If Audi claimed its A1 Clubsport Quattro could do 0-100 km/hr (62mph) in 3.7 seconds from a standstill, well grab the napkins cause you'll be cleaning your drink ... continue reading
Man has certain needs that can only be met one of three ways: beer, bacon and breakneck speed. Two of them can (and should) be enjoyed together as frequently as possible, but the need for speed is a different sort of demon. Classic muscle or rice burner, Harley or crotch rocket, it doesn't matter as long as you're ... continue reading
It doesn't matter if you drive a Porsche or an old Mazda 626, as a guy you have something built into your brain about speed.

There are certain things that even if you had all the money in the world you wouldn't think you'd ever be able to acquire - The Mona Lisa, Hank Aaron's 755th home run ball, a manly Snuggie - but every once in a while one of these things becomes available to you. If you want to barrel through your streets while ... continue reading
All my friends know the low rider. The low rider is a little higher. Low rider drives a little slower. Low rider is a real goer. Along with being quite a catchy slow jam, War filled their anthemic "Low Rider" with verse after verse of the truth. Low riders are awesome. The paint schemes, the mechanics, the body work, ... continue reading
We’re going to be completely honest, we don’t religiously follow Formula 1 racing. We usually stumble upon it while flipping through channels aimlessly and each time we do we say the same thing, “Huh, the Speed channel. Have we always had this?” Then we sit mesmerized for an hour barely remembering to ... continue reading
We’re not sure if Toyota went all Inception on us and stole this right out of one of our dreams, but the FT-86 II Concept looks like a ride straight from our hopeful imagination. More specifically, it looks like a Nissan Z got it on with the Batmobile. We’ve heard the buzz about this rear-wheel drive sports ... continue reading
Rock Crawling: extreme verb - the piloting of a highly modified four-wheel drive vehicles (trucks, jeeps, etc.) over seemingly impassable terrain. Not seemingly impassable like a jarring trip over the grating on the side of the highway, we're talking about boulders, mountain trails, chasms, rock piles and the like. ... continue reading

So you make the only decision there is to make, you drive to the nearest liquor store. Everything ... continue reading
We can safely say that after discussing it for hours on end this is the only good thing to come out of Batman Forever. The movie was only saved by two things – the modern restyling of the Batmobile and the fact that it wasn’t Batman and Robin (oh, and some people like that Seal song). Now, if you’re ready ... continue reading
