America is in the midst of the biggest energy boom since Texas' 20th Century Gusher Age. All over the country, new drilling techniques have created an abundance of cheap natural gas. With domestic production at more than 25 billion cubic feet per day, prices are as low as they've ever been. More &raquo;

Like an adorable, tiny zombie popping out of its tiny, adorable window-box grave, the Peel P50 and Peel Trident are back from the dead. Neither of the tiny, tiny cars has been built since 1966, but a new company, with funding from the BBC's show Dragon's Den, is starting production up once again, as announced earlier this year. They're street legal in the UK and US, and you can buy them for an absurd price £10,000 ($16,000). More &raquo;

I really shouldn't have to even be answering this question. This week in Salon David Sirota wrote an article asking "Is it ethical to drive stick?" It's great to see a mainstream, intelligent publication like Salon talking about manual transmissions, except for one thing: the article is inane, and the fundamental question its asking is insipid. And, some of the facts are wrong. And it's whiny and stupid. Okay, five things. Other than that, it's great. More &raquo;

I've went full homo on this and decided to buy a Subaru. It passed through work and after a test drive I was hooked. It was bone stock and had 55,xxx miles on it. The only downside so far is that it is an auto but everything else is awesome. I love heated seats, I actually have a radio, I have AC for once, and all the joys the turbo brings. Once I sold the integra I had a few bills leftover from paying off some debt to make it fun. I ordered and installed a cobb downpipe and a borla catback, which is bar far the best sounded exhaust I have ever owned. It is quiet cruising, stock looking and make awesome noises when you push the get loud pedal. To get the most out of it I flashed the ecm with a cobb accessport stage 2 tune. The wheels are rota grid's in hyper black, size is 18X9.5 with a 38offset wrapped in 235-40-18 Falken's. Then to finish it off I lowered it on stance coilovers after pulling and rolling the fenders. Any's ways, here are some pictures. Haven't got my dlsr out yet for it, those will be coming shortly.

John Levitz's rare 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang is used as Carroll Shelby intended—hard.Even among early Shelbys, John Levitz's '66 G.T. 350 is a standout, but that hasn't stopped him from driving and making memories in it for the past 31 years.What makes it unique? John's car has long been rumored to be one of three in-house presentation cars built by Shelby American in late 1966 to show Ford execs some of the changes the company had in mind for the '67 models-such as the hoodscoop. Afterward, the cars were sold to the public.

This '28 Has Been Through Hell and BackOh, the stories this car could tell. Ryan Adams of Santa Ana, California, has owned this old Ford since 2000. His buddy Dano Nichols found it in Riverside, California, where it was languishing in a sorry state after serving as a dirt-track car. We don’t know how long this poor soul was beaten and battered in side-by-side racing before it was finally put out to pasture, and we can only imagine how thrashed the body was back then, but since it was real, 70-year-old Ford steel for only $1,500, we can use our imaginations. Its scarred past is long behind it now, however. Seven years in the making and five years after it was completed, this ’28/’29 Model A proves that a hot rod built right will never go out of style.

This '29 rings truth through and throughTRUTH be told, it was the gas tank. "The tank actually started the project," confesses Eddie Barbosa from Gilroy, California. For weeks, he'd been eyeballing a half-derelict '48 Allis-Chalmers tractor that was decomposing in a field. Then one day he figured he'd give it a shot and try to get the property owner to sell him just the gas tank. "I kept looking at it thinking, That would look too cool on the back of something." That something would eventually become a noteworthy conversation piece on this '29 Ford roadster pickup.
