I know this link has been posted before. I just am curious about this builders transmission solution. Builder of this cool vehicle says that the engine turns different direction than a car so he spent $7,000 on a transmission build to make it work with a car rear diff. Many dwarf cars used he...

You may not get it back! Quite a story, Chicago, because of IL 'home rule,' their laws 'trump' (yes, I really said that) state law. The individual described here probably owes far-more in storage fees than the 1996 Cadillac is worth...

If you live close to Detroit, I'd be looking at what this guy has, to see about picking up a project: http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/michigan-man-forced-to-sell-20-cars-a-month-has-resorted-to-scrapping-some-cool-cars/ar-BBH2i6z?li=BBisPVf&ocid=ientp Ron Dauzet, a Michigan man whose...

This is a fun watch, listening to and watching the car show reps pronounce their marque's names. My favorites are the Abarth lady, the Alfa Romeo lady, the Koenigsegg lady, the OPEL lady, the Lamborghini lady, the Pagani lady, the Peugeot lady, well, I guess, all the women announcers! I didn't...

A guy driving down a Maine road finds minutes apart, two very rare Fords, he buys them both for $1600. A good story: http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/classic-cars/rare-find-he-bought-this-ultrarare-r-code-427-powered-1967-ford-fairlane-xl500-twice/ar-BBFPCDp?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=ientp2

To Ron Dauzet, it’s a collection of more than 200 cars—some common, some rare, everything from old BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes to MGs and Jeeps and Porsches. But to the Michigan town he lives in, it’s an unlicensed junkyard, an eyesore, and the cars must go. But Ron fears they must go at a...

Here is a video that I saw this morning. A VERY BIG OOPS. Doesnt look like he was paying attention, when the officer was stopping and turning left. http://teamfna.speedsociety.com/motorcycle-rider-crashes-directly-into-the-back-of-a-cop-car/

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article159411119.html This is so sad!!! I cannot stress enough about situational awareness, especially that late in the evening/night..... Apparently the two on the bike were northbound in the center lane of Seminole Boulevard approaching 114th...

and the guy in the car tries to side swipe the motorcyclist but ends up losing control of his car and causes a chain reaction crash.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4UWxWUmSN0

Now, I have to qualify this: some literal wreck that someone has managed to return to the road, after experiencing serious crash damage, still bearing the damage in-evidence is hereby excluded from consideration. My thread, my rule. This "car" may be functional, but I have never seen a "blend"...

HICKORY CORNERS, MI -- Rock legend Janis Joplin's 1965 Porsche 356 will return to the Gilmore Car Museum next weekend. The car will be at the museum in Hickory Corners for the 31st annual Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) Experience Sunday, June 4. Best-selling novelist and noted car collector...

This car was re-done by a guy I went through school with, Steve Panarites. He's been building street cars and race cars for decades. This won 1st place in class at Amelia Island recently. Who wouldn't want to be coached on how to run this, and then being turned-loose for awhile? Read the...

Something different, not many produced, not a street car, but then the Cheetah wasn't either. Still very interesting, and moderately successful. I know the cousin of the Canadian guy who built it and raced it. There were 5 body styles, essentially they were one-offs, each built to improve on...

Something interesting, not really anything for me, but I'm posting it to show what's out there. A replica body probably made in Indy, of the 1960's Bill Thomas Cheetah. With running gear, not sure why it only has a 3 speed manual tranny? Also the Chrysler 451 cu.in. engine I suppose is a...

Here is a database from contemporary car magazines of hot Detroit iron, usually listing car specs and 0-60 & 1/4-mile times, as well as rated HP. You can debate the 413 Mopar Wedge vs. the 406 FE Ford, the 260/289 Ford Police Interceptor vs. the 327 Chevy, the Buick 455 Stage 1 vs, the...

Got the winter doldrums, and want some motorsports sound in your life? How about a V-12 1500 cc Honda F1 Grand Prix car from 1965? It reportedly was capable of 14,000 rpm and living. Richie Ginther (USA) and Ronnie Bucknum (USA) drove these cars, and the only F1 race this series (RA271-272) won...

Something to do on a snowy day in SW Michigan: http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2016/09/janis_joplins_psychedelic_pors.html HICKORY CORNERS, MI -- Rock legend Janis Joplin's psychedelic Porsche and actor Nicolas Cage's yellow 1967 Ferrari will be among nearly two dozen rare and...

These neighbors who take offense to another who is a double amputee and who likes to work on cars in his great garage are trying to get him shut-down. http://jalopnik.com/awful-neighbors-are-suing-their-neighbor-because-he-wor-1787769218 Neighbors from H-e-l-l! :damn angry:

Ever think about trying your hand at building a car from scratch? The chassis, body, interior, using someone's engine, suspension, and other mechanical pieces? Well this guy in MN does it and here's a R&T article on his efforts. This particular car is a VW/Porsche origin, claimed HP is 120-130...

IS this gonna be based on the mid-engine Corvette rumored to be out in 2018 as a 2019 model? AWD, hybrid, twin turbos? http://www.gminsidenews.com/articles/why-the-mid-engined-corvette-wont-be-a-corvette/
