Build your own time machine...

Okay, so maybe it doesn't actually travel thru time. But it does fly, and that is just cool enough for me to be mesmerized.

      

A legacy of LEGO...

Have you ever stopped to think about one of the world's greatest marvels?
The ubiquitous LEGO brick.



Extreme power-to-weight


Weight. The ultimate enemy of any speed junkie looking to extract every last bit of performance from their machine.


Stalking a '72 911...

OK so maybe stalking is a bad word to use. Admiring? Maybe. Envious bromance? More appropriate.



ATV Subaru Impreza STI

So. You have a spare STi motor laying around. Let's say you also have a quad frame you found in the back of your workshop. Add in a healthy dose of skill and ingenuity. And oh yeah, plenty of spare time.
What do you get? If your lucky, you'll get a ridiculously useless vehicle that will bring a smile to your face every time you take it for a ride.

E39 M5, well sort of...

Why drive an El Camino when this is possible?

I am the NightRider

The opening scene to Mad Max - classic car chase porn. Grainy, gritty, and timeless.



DIY Dark Knight

I love cars. I love movies. I love movies about cars. I really love it when movie cars come to life.


The Ultimate Garage Lift

If you're a guy like me, you probably dream of being able to have a garage big enough to have your own lift. Since I live in North Jersey, and in a 100+ year old home with a equally old and decrepit garage, I always thought this was going to be a little out of my reach.

1/10th the size, same amount of fun...

I think everyone at some point or another (or maybe currently) have had radio controlled cars. I just don't remember them looking this good. Maybe it's because we never raced them at night. It probably was the lack of Rockstar energy drinks...


Yet Another Winter Project



Winter. It's when we look for racing-themed projects to dive into when it's cold and snowy. A couple of years ago I started renewing my interest in 1/32nd scale slot cars. Let's just say that once again, it got a little out of hand.

As if I needed another way to waste time...

Every now and then I run into something on the web that proves that somewhere there is a place where clocks stop. Life as we know it pauses and allows for hobbies that are so time consuming that they would make house arrest seem appealing.


101 uses for construction paper...


From the absolutely useless file:

     The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks, and White Trash Became America's Scapegoats
The fact that this was hand-painted is impressive.
The question is-what is the practical application for a '80's Vette in camo? 

I don't even know what to say...

 
VW Jetta traysliding

Yes that's a front wheel drive. Yes those are lunch trays under the rear wheels. Yes it is more important that you drift, rather than what you drift. Yes I will be trying this tomorrow.
And yes, of course I will be needing to borrow someone's front wheel drive vehicle...
STRONG!!!
