This week features an old import icon. From the streets of Tokyo in Initial D to the tracks of Formula D, and probably Need For Speed: Underground 2, comes a Toyota. More specifically, the AE86 Corolla. A RWD, 2 door coupe or 3 door hatch back, Corolla that was a more performance oriented vehicle. So... Continue Reading →
Everybody knows about the new Ford GT that's supposed to be coming in 2016? Its a re-reborn American Classic that beat Ferarri in the 60s and then did the same thing 40 and change years later. There's one common gripe about the new GT though. Its powered by...a twin turbo V6. Que? (What?) Tree huggers... Continue Reading →
Mercedes-Benz is working on producing a truck under the nameplate "GLT". That's right a Benz truck. Now before we go play scratch offs, it will not come to the U.S. Why? According to the head of the project and former AMG boss Volker Mornhinweg, it will not a "fat cowboy truck". Seeing as us "fat... Continue Reading →
Aston Martin. British motoring at its finest. Popularity came with the one and only (or several) 007: James Bond. The stunning looks and epic performance is what adds Aston Martin to bedroom walls and laptop backgrounds. Who doesn't love Aston Martin? Ok so for me, my first experience with the automaker came in Need For... Continue Reading →
Before I start, I'm changing the name of this weekly post to "Shut Up and Take My Money", simply because "Need it in our Lives" is too bland. Onwards my friends.... So in another epiphany...I was watching a comparison between the world's fatest luxury sedans. Of course, the hometown hero Dodge Charger Hellcat won, without... Continue Reading →
The McLaren 540C. 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. Top speed at 199mph. Signature McLaren style. And $180k price tag. McLaren's most affordable and everyday driver car. Ok.... Saying $180k is cheap is a heck of a statement, but saying everyday driver? First off, the 540C is and isn't an everyday driver. It is because... Continue Reading →
So after careful deliberation and a much needed frosty from Wendy's, I came up with another deceased vehicle to discuss. And seeing as deceased sounds better than dead, here goes Need it in our Lives 3. This week, it will be the car...truck...ute thing. Its main competition in it's heyday it was the Ford Ranchero...it... Continue Reading →
So while I was at work, I had an epiphany of sorts. The Ford Mustang is THE most dominant muscle car of all time. Don't get me wrong, I've not always been pro-Mustang and in all honesty my dream muscle cars are a 2015 ZL1 Camaro and 70 HEMI Cuda with a 426. However, even... Continue Reading →
So I'm kind of tired of seeing posts on Facebook on how the GTO aided in Pontiacs death. If anything, the Aussie influenced GTO aided the quote-unquote excitement division. To be honest, the "excitement division" was as exciting as...let's say...the reproductive cycle of a worm. Well...seeing as that was a really bad comparison, I'll give... Continue Reading →
