Words of wisdom!

What this guy says, is so right in my opinion about cars.  Its a 4 minute video, where he talks about his car, tells its story, and then tells his views about cars.  I couldn't have said it any better myself, props to this guy!

Car sounds

Usually I would post a car picture or a great video involving cars, but today its a person trying to be a car in a sense.  This guy has talent, its amazing comparing his replication to the real cars.  Just compare the rotary noise to the actual car in the 2nd video.

Prius owner rage quits!

Ignorance at its best, is probably the best way to describe this video.  It's truly shocking about how inconsiderate people can truly be to other motorists.  For no reason at all, this irate Prius owner decides to go and pick and annoy this family with a diesel.  Makes prius owners and environmentalists look really good ey?

Marty Robbins:Musician, Actor, and Stock Car driver!

Hell on Wheels, a movie well worth watching.  Its from 1967, and happens to feature Country music legend Marty Robbins.  Besides his day job of singing Country, Robbins raced stock cars.  It makes for a better acting experience in my opinion since what makes for the best acting role in regards to a stock car driver?  Somebody who actually has raced in the USAC, Nascar, and other various stock car circuits.  Its well worth watching, even though some of the acting is cheesy, but there is a lot of good racing action.  

When racing was simple

In today's racing world, everyone seems to use way too much technology.  Months are spent perfecting aerodynamics, computer models made to test suspensions, computer programs made to run the engines if needed, and on and on.  Take a look back 40 years ago, and it was a completely different field.  Teams were not 20 members strong, and they did not have giant big rigs to carry a single car or two around.  They didn't travel in motor homes, and the parts they used, were not all billet.  When funny cars were a real production car that was chopped apart, and rebuilt to go faster with altered wheelbase, instead of a space ship with wheels.  It was a time when you didn't see the same few models every pass, a time when passion was obvious.  It was an amateur sport, but it was better, corporations were not running everything, and the big three were helping out.  Long live the original spirit of drag racing!

Chop it!!

Although I do not agree with the looks of most of the cars that are built by this show, it is well worth watching, and actually very inspiring.  Taking nothing but cars that are worn out, and are almost ready for the scrap heap, this team in England turns them into concept cars, in only a matter of weeks.  The techniques, and how they attack the builds are amazing.
