I drive an average of about sixty different new cars per year, and every end of the price spectrum is represented. I’ve driven bare-bones transportation, complete with crank-down windows and manual d...
More than any other part on your automobile, your vehicles tires provide you with safety, braking, foul weather performance and confidence, yet they are almost always the most neglected part on a veh...
Here’s an EcoBoost math problem for you to solve: if EB V6 = V8 and EB I4 = V6, what is the EB equivalent of an I4? According to Ford, the correct answer is a small displacement three-cylinder, fitte...
I don’t know what it is about fast cars and cleavage, but they seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. This is Abdo Feghali, the Red Bull sponsored Lebanese rally driver who has one goal in...
75 Jahre BMW 328. Der erfolgreiche Sportwagen der 30er Jahre hat Geburtstag. Der große automobile Meilenstein und die Legende und Ikone der blau-weißen Markengeschichte kommt übrigens nicht aus Münch...
Vern Tardel needs no introduction. He is mister flathead, his ranch is the mekka for any traditional Ford hot rod follower and in spite of all that glory, he takes the time for you and your flathead ...
Bereits auf dem ersten Abschnitt unserer Reise konnten wir einen herrlichen "Autosupermarkt" ausfindig machen.
Ich muß mal vorankommen mit der Lackierung. Also noch zu Ende geschliffen, mit Silikonentferner gereinigt und dann gib ihm! Hammerschlag zu rollen is nich einfach, perfekt wird das nie, das habe ich ...
Am 1. Juni starteten wir unsere Sommerreise 2011. In diesem Jahr steht der nördliche Westen der USA bis einschliesslich Kanada auf dem Programm. Ausgangspunkt der Tour war Seattle/WA. Von Vancouver g...
“2.8.87″: Mit Hildegard und dem Ascona B auf den Meeren der Welt… Pullover und Autolackierung in perfektem Farbklang. Flohmarktfund
It’s an odd question I know, but as an automotive enthusiast it’s one that you should already know the answer to. Simply asking you to choose a real automotive hero would be too easy, especially sinc...
After years of washing, waxing and turning wrenches on cars and bikes, I’ve got a good feel for what works and what doesn’t. The latest “miracle glaze” polish usually doesn’t look as good or last as ...
What can you say about the Extreme Zone automotive custom shop in India. By the looks of it they’re a cross between Pimp My Ride and West Coast Customs all rolled into one great big ball of outsource...
BMW has applied for a trademark on the M2 name in both Germany and the United States, and rumor has it that the move is also tied to the recently announced demise of the 1 Series M. Designed to be an...
Hammerschlag Kupfer, Porno Flakes und dann ne Autohaus Fickfrosch Werbung auf der Tür? Irgendwie paßt das nicht. Da muß was amerikanisch Klassisches her. Und so entstand die Idee von Scalloops. Für d...
Looking under the hood of this Lexus GS300 will either make you smile or curse. In the engine bay the factory 2JZ has been replaced by a LS1 from a 2004 Pontiac GTO. The current engine setup is produ...
Not long ago I reviewed the 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe at Monticello Motor Club in upstate New York. It was not only compact, powerful and an absolute pisser to drive at the limit, but it hearkens bac...
In the 1980′s we had Madonna, Ronald Reagan and perhaps one of the most memorable cars of all time, the Lamborghini Countach. We also had the likes of the Pontiac Fiero, the Yugo, as well as all mann...
If you give me a choice between gas and electric, nine chances out of ten I’m going to choose gas. I’ve got a gas-powered lawn mower, a gas-powered string trimmer and a gas-powered backpack blower to...
Der Auspuff ist irgendwie dicht, irgendwie unterm Auto, aber definitiv wildes Gebastel und VIEL zu tief. Wäre die Leiche nicht hinten (noch) so hoch, ich würde eine Funkenspur hinter mir herziehen. D...
Ralf Becker is editor-in-chief of the German auto website Chromjuwelen (“Chrome Jewels,” in English) and a good friend of RideLust. If you’ve never seen his site, you owe it to yourself to give it a ...

The great thing about toys like Hot Wheels cars is that they have the ability to stimulate the imagination at a very young age. Cars like the Deora, the Sizzler series from the 1970′s and the origina...
I saw an early Subaru Tribeca behind me in traffic the other day, and it got me thinking about the ugliest cars in America over the past decade. Let’s face it: there weren’t a lot cars styled between...
Recently, I attended the Carlisle Import and Kit
