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
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... 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. Now, yes, one of those two options will most likely get you off the starting line faster and one may go zero-to-60 in, well, let's just hope the wheels don't fall off, but either way you'd ... continue reading
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
Scenario: You finally moved to the bustling metropolis you now call home, but you've run out of the lifeblood known as beer. 7-11 only has their private label Game Time swill that's more water and urine than it is beer. 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
The last time a lot of us touched a wooden toy car we were out in the garage whittling away at a pinewood derby racer in hopes of destroying all our friends in an upcoming race. That time we spent working on those cars was probably what started our love affair with our rides today. To pass on the same inspiration ... continue reading
If you're anything like us, you loved building shit as a kid. It didn't matter if it was Lego, Lincoln Logs, Erector, Kinectx or that weird glow in the dark putty crap they "forced" us to make in Science class, we love creating something from nothing. Especially when that something we're making is a bad ass hot rod. ... continue reading
Listen up Bruce Wayne, we found your new car. Created in 2005 for Faluda Tires to torture test a new obscene set of wide tires (25/65/36), the Maybach Excelero is just as much Batmobile as it is super luxe Mercedes Benz. With an Esacalade-ish curb weight and a face so menacing that even Christian Bale cowers in its ... continue reading
Golf is great stress relief. It's a reason to wear plaid and get sloshed in the middle of the day. To ogle girls in short skirts and polos. Most importantly, it's a reason to drive a golf cart. The Can-Am Commander 1000 might look like a golf cart, but it's as serious as multi-million dollar endorsement deals. Each ... continue reading
