Electric Probe

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Mike Ross

No, I’m not talking about some kind of Psych 101 Stanley Milgram type shit. I’m talking clean commuting here, and this home-converted electric car is the real deal.

No more greenhouse gasses, no more reliance on foreign oil, no rotten-egg smelling propane, no Hindenburg-esque “Oh, the humanity” hydrogen situations to worry about, ~~no more coal power plants bellowing soot directly into the the ocean, no more landfills full of buried harmful chemicals~~, okay, well maybe you can’t have it all. But hey, at least it’s a start.

2003 Crown Victoria Wagon Concept

Posted on February 2, 2013 by bryan lusk

When Ford bailed on the Country Squire wagon after 1991 they chose to replace it with nothing. They assumed everyone would move to a minivan or an SUV.. or buy a Caprice. Well, it’s been 22 years since then and there has yet to be a direct successor. It was apparently a good call as there doesn’t seem to be too much interest in such a car, with Dodge cancelling the Magnum and Cadillac apparently ditching the CTS wagon. Continue reading →

The Week in Review

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Cameron Tunstall

I apologize for the lapse in weekly coverage. Let’s take a look at what’s been going on this past week:

– We have new section for 0-60 acceleration and 1/4 mile times.

– I covered the worst of Barrett-Jackson 2013.

– We took a look at a ZR-1 painted like a Grand Sport for reasons unknown.

– Mike had a bone to pick with his food.. and a tastless GMT400.

– Bryan gave us a look at America’s first minivan, which was unsafe at any speed.

– Trevor provided us a video highlight of Barrett-Jackson 2013.

That’s it for now. Enjoy our weekend posts!

Video: Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2013 Highlights

We had a blast covering the 2013 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction this year! Here is a video I made highlighting some of the things I saw at the auction, including lots of very cool cars. Hope you enjoy it!

1961-65 Corvair Greenbrier Sportswagon (Corvair 95/Corvan)

Posted on January 31, 2013 by bryan lusk

You may recall my article a few days back regarding the Fiberfab GT40 kit car. Well, as it turns out that off fenced off parking area also contained a Corvair Greenbrier Sportswagon.. just out of frame (surprise). Whoever owns this land clearly has a thing for these cars, or just picked an odd vehicle for a donor motor (from which vehicle to which though?). Continue reading →

Smoked Turkey Legs (1997 Chevy 1 Ton Dually Tahoe Long Bed Bullshit Thing)

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Mike Ross

I have been ready to blow like Mount St. Helens since the weekend of January 19th, 2013.

Why, you ask? Because although Barrett-Jackson was a blast and I saw a lot of really cool cars and got to hang out with the guys and make fun of everything and generally just be an asshole, there is a flip side- I’ve seen about all the 60’s muscle cars I can handle for the rest of my life, I hurt my foot, and worst of all, I got duped into buying a twelve dollar turkey leg.
