Remember CES, that thing that was last week? We wouldn’t know of course, we didn’t go. Instead Sean went and bought a pony, Chuck decided to detail his Ferrari instead of the Lambo, and I redeemed my food stamps for a 12 pack of Schlitz.
I kid. Chuck has a Porsche.
Anyways, one of the big events […]

With the Miata MX-5, Miata reintroduced to the world the two-seater rear-wheel drive roadster. Since it’s appearance in 1989, the Miata has won many awards as well as the hearts of countless drivers — so many, in fact, that the Miata has its own spec racing series in the SCCA ( Sports Car […]

The customization market offers a variety of air compressors for airbag systems, but few of them are able to function well up to 200 psi. Air-Zenith manufacturers a compressor that pushes 200 psi at 2.9 cfm, and, even better, it’s completely rebuildable. A-Z sells a rebuild kit that includes a new piston ring and even […]

What makes a car a classic? Speed and looks, sure, but also innovation. In America, the Ford Mustang changed the way we looked at, felt about, and spec’d up cars, but in France the Citroen DS was the show-stopper. Like the Mustang, the Citroen DS moved the auto industry by offering a fresh, new design. […]

Ever wonder how custom car builders like Rick Dore and Chip Foose get their specialty emblems done?  I did too, so I did some searching and came up with Motorhead Jewelry.  They create a full on custom emblem, just like the big boys’, out of your design.  They’re more personal than a CNC-designed logo out […]

Here’s a shift knob sure to improve your manual-shift experience time and impress your friends, too: the German company Gaslock’s Indy-Cator. It adds an LCD screen to the boring old shift knob, displaying what gear you’re in, all the way up to the magic number six.

If you love your car like a baby, hearing it cry when you don’t know what’s wrong just hurts. Thats why the dreaded “check engine” light is so frustrating: it doesn’t tell you what to check. To translate the gobbledygook from the plug under your dash into the reason the CEL came on – in English […]

The resto-mod craze is in full swing, folks, and air conditioning is at the top of any southern-dweller’s “mod” list.
