Welding Classes in Denver

29Dec06

While I took a couple of years of woodworking in High School, I greatly regret not being able to fit a Welding class into my schedule given my interest in cars. I have actually had to have someone do some welding for me on a past project car, and see myself needing to weld-up some [...]

A Hybrid Even a Gearhead Would Love

26Dec06

Unfortunately this is only a concept vehicle so far, but Toyota has a 400 HP hybrid car under development with a projected price at around 35K. I wish they still had the amazing MKIV Supra (which is still my “realistic dream car” that I will get around to owning someday…), but this would do nicely [...]

My Datsun Z: Autoblog Readers Ride of The Day!

20Dec06

Today is pretty much the wrong weather for my Datsun 280Z here in Colorado, but it made Autoblog’s Readers Ride of the Day! Judging by the comments, there are plenty of people who also still love the old Z’s too. I haven’t much touched the car since I bought it other than typical old car [...]

Rollin’ On Dubs

11Nov05

I do believe I’m going to have to get these wheels for the Z if/when I start rebuilding the undercarriage, especially if I need some bigger rims to fit over upgraded calipers. I just can’t get over how hot they are. Old school original design in new school size– yes please! It’s something I’ve considered [...]

Got Hummer?

06Nov05

Apparently they’ve got plenty of Hummer’s available in Southern Cali. Being someone who drives a smaller car than the average American, I’m looking forward to a shift to smaller, more fuel efficent vehicles in the US. I just can’t justify a large vehicle for that 2-3 instances a year that I need one, and I [...]

Now That’s Frigging Fast!

03Nov05

I was just checking-up on an old hobby of mine and saw that John Shepard has went down into the 7 second range in the 1/4 mile. This is absolutely insane, especially considering it’s just 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine, the car is still registered and insured to be driven on the street, has a [...]

SUV “Spy Photos”

09Sep05

Yeah, I’m already back from the mountains. It kept raining, sitting around in a hotel room is boring, and I lost the desire to do any more hiking after getting stuck on the side of a mountain at timberline during a thundermonsoon. Luckily I had all of the right stuff with me (including a rain [...]

The 2006 / 2007 Shelby GT500

26Mar05

As someone who’s lost faith in domestic auto brands in the past 8 years or so, I’m very impressed with the new Ford Mustang. Even better, the new Shelby GT500 is just frigging awesome. I’ll take two please! Here’s hoping it includes an independent rear suspension and doesn’t have a live axle like the new [...]

Hummer Vs. Pathfinder

18Mar05

Apparently the Hummer H2 is no match for a Nissan Pathfinder.

Got Rage?

If so, perhaps you should purchase a few things here to improve your driving experience.
