Ever since we were little kids we have loved tricycles. It's like having a bike with the safety net of training wheels, without the funny looks you get from being the only 10 year old who still has training wheels. Motorized tricycles are no different. Has anything bad ever come from strapping an enormous engine on ... continue reading
We're constantly inundated with messages about what we should and shouldn't do. Only have one drink an hour. Pick up your socks. Don't text and drive. We can't help it if we have important "work" to do that demands we be expert multi-taskers - even if it occasionally means neglecting basic human needs like sleep and ... 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
Mini anything is normally a good idea. Tiny cell phones, tinier candy bars and the tiniest of toys are just the beginning. Cars, on the other hand, can be a bit of a different story. For quite some time, bigger was better. You weren't the king of the castle without an absurdly large Hemi turbo packing at least five ... continue reading
Simply put, there hasn’t been a cooler van since B.A. Baracus was running missions with The A-Team. Sometimes you gotta haul some serious stuff (lots and lots of insanely heavy stuff) to places that don’t show up on a GPS unit. It’s for precisely these off-road situations that Volkswagen created The Rockton. ... continue reading
We were so close to declaring Infinium Ale from Sam Adams and Weihenstephan the greatest "colliding of universes" item on the market, then we saw this - John Lennon’s 1965 Ferrari 330 GT. Now, we love a good dry-hopped ale as much as the next guy, but let’s be honest, this ride has it licked. John Lennon ... continue reading
Tacking a liquor store banner for Natty Ice on your wall is juvenile; putting up a vintage Guinness ad is sophisticated. This is something to keep in mind if you plan on bringing a lady or two back home. So, instead of ripping out an ad from the latest issue of Motor Trend to sticky-tack up, try going with a Vintage ... continue reading
Classic cars hold a very special place in a man's heart. Nothing will ever compare to the car you and your dad worked on when you were younger - regardless of how much it costs or how many cool gadgets and gizmos it has. Automotive technology has made great strides since the 70s (launch control anyone?), but technology ... continue reading
When you have a well-documented following like the Camaro does, you can actually gain popularity by taking some time off. (See: McRib.) After an eight year hiatus, the iconic muscle car returned with a 2010 model and now hopes to continue its success with the 2011 version. The most obvious addition (or retraction) ... continue reading
We all saw the movies: good looking white guy with constantly furrowed brow chases much more badass non-white guy by driving tricked out import cars and racing on the streets of cities near and far. Truth be told, the cars in the Fast and the Furious movies were by far the most (only?) compelling reason to see the ... continue reading
Men don't throw around the world "love" a lot, but when we do it's almost invariably in reference to a car. Ok, maaaaaybe a significant other. Maybe. Long story short: we love cars, they love us. And while our Honda Accord is wonderfully practical, "practical" isn't what draws us to the automobile. Beauty, speed, ... continue reading
The automotive industry today can bore a guy with it's newfound eco-friendliness. "Look at the new Prius!" Toyota says, "It farts white doves." "Check out our new Civic!" declares Honda, "it is made entirely from dirt." Look, we think going green is commendable, but it doesn't exactly stir a man's blood. Back in ... continue reading
We don't know if everyone that designs trucks at Toyota just got old or they're all too busy sucking on the government's green teet to design a manly truck, but we do know we don't like it. The 2010 Land Cruiser looks like a soccer mom's daily driver and the 2010 FJ Cruiser looks like Halo hooked up with the octomom. ... continue reading
Holy shitballs, Batman... Mercedes apparently makes a tank. Who knew. Granted, it doesn't have cat tracks and a giant fuckoff cannon strapped to the front, but seriously, look at it. It's a goddamned tank. It's also perhaps the best vehicle ever to have on hand for the zombie apocalypse: 18-inches of ground clearance, ... continue reading
You've seen the commercials: an attractive couple loads things into their glossy new Jeep--a surf board, golf clubs, a cooler, a golden retriever, a pair of kids--all while smiling like it's the most fun they've ever had doing anything, including making those two kids. Well the truth is, the original Jeep was ... continue reading
Pairing the phrase "high end" with anything related to an automobile is something that will make any man hurt where it counts most - in his wallet. It always starts harmlessly enough as a new stereo but quickly turns into a sunroof, leather package, rims, intake - you get the picture. It's a disease that we've all ... continue reading
