The Reverse Mercedes Law
Posted on December 12, 2014 | 54 CommentsAs anyone with more than a passing interest in cars, I often find myself looking at strange and interesting things that lurk within auction sites. I look at them and […] -
My 1963 Ford Galaxie, Part 3: A Year In The Life
Posted on December 12, 2014 | 87 CommentsOver the last several years, I have developed Jason’s Theorem of Automobiles. My theorem states all cars are built to mimic a thirty-five year old human. At 35, one is […] -
Future Curbside Classic: 2015 Ford Mustang GT – Four Hundred Thirty Five Horsepower?!
Posted on December 10, 2014 | 96 CommentsYes. Four Hundred Thirty Five horsepower. Wow. That is only 15 horses shy of the 2001 Dodge Viper my mother once owned. And, I mean, it was a VIPER. This […] -
CC Outtake: The Denimachine!
Posted on December 7, 2014 | 56 CommentsHere’s something you don’t see every day. The Denimachine was created by Hot Rod in 1976 for a sweepstakes. Very few were built, and a friend of my dad’s bought […] -
QOTD: Engine Swaps?
Posted on December 2, 2014 | 143 CommentsOh yeah, that’s the sort of thing we like to see around here isn’t it? A 1956 Ford Pickup that is still sporting all its battle scars. Scars that were […] -
Craigslist Find: 1961 Ford Fairlane 500 – The Last of the Big Fairlanes

eBay Find: 1941 Ford Business Coupe – Not a Hot Rod
Posted on November 24, 2014 | 45 CommentsGoodness gracious me. A pre-war Ford that hasn’t been chopped and beaten to within an inch of its life, then resprayed in the brightest hues of orange and red with […] -
CC Outtake: A GT With No Spoiler? What Gives?
Posted on November 22, 2014 | 37 CommentsSomething a bit odd: What appears to be a Mustang GT convertible sans spoiler. It seems all Mustangs from the 1998-2004 period had a spoiler; even my sister’s first car, […] -
Craigslist Find: 1965 Ford Falcon Van – As Close to Showroom Fresh As You’ll Find
Posted on November 18, 2014 | 40 CommentsI’m looking to replace my Ford Focus, which is in the shop every three months like clockwork and has therefore worn out its welcome. What I want: reliable, compact, inexpensive, […] -
Automotive History: Hyundai Pony – From Humble Origins
Posted on November 15, 2014 | 75 CommentsI was driving along the other day when I noticed something approaching my mirror extremely quickly. From a distance it kinda looked like a Lexus but I couldn’t quite place […] -
Curbside Classic: 1964 Ford F-100 – Setting the Pace for 30 Years
Posted on November 4, 2014 | 44 CommentsWhen you come across an obviously well-loved 1964 Ford truck, it’s natural to feel a little wistful for a time when trucks were simple and honest. However, retrospection often obscures […] -
Curbside Follow-Up: 1971 Ford Mustang Grandé – It’s The Great Pumpkin Brougham, Charlie Brown!
Posted on October 31, 2014 | 32 CommentsTwo years ago, on Halloween, I wrote up this very orange 1973 Ford Mustang Grandé. While a bit weathered, it was still in pretty good shape, albeit with some very […] -
Curbside Cinema: Thunderbirds – Perfect Match.
Posted on October 24, 2014 | 27 CommentsAs time goes on, fewer and fewer people remember the TV series that shared its name with our theme topic this week. I sure don’t; I was born a couple […] -
Magazine Classic: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo – Challenging Teenage Perceptions
Posted on October 23, 2014 | 88 Comments1987: the stock market crashed, the world’s population reached five billion, Maggie Thatcher scored term #3 in the UK, Michael Jackson released Bad, and worse, New Zealand’s relationship with […] -
COAL: 1975 Ford Thunderbird – Preparing for Flight
Posted on October 22, 2014 | 37 CommentsAlways getting the same flavor of ice cream is boring. There are times when a vanilla cone sounds right when other times you want the biggest, gnarliest sundae available. This […]
