  • Terry's new Shelby GT500 Mustang

    Back in October, James (last name omitted) got a surprise visit from Vaughn Gittin Jr., who showed up driving a new Mustang GT. It wasn’t just any Mustang GT, however, it was a car that James had designed and promoted as part of Ford’s Mustang Customizer contest. Giten was on hand to toss him the keys, as James was the first contest winner. The rules for the contest were fairly straightforward: design a Mustang (ranging from a V-6 though a Shelby GT500), then pitch your car to your social media friends and go head-to-head against other Mustang designs. For each 1,000 points...

  • 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4

    Lamborghini’s Gallardo supercar has been with us since the 2004 model year, and rumors that it would disappear after 2013 have now been confirmed by Lamborghini. If the title of the above video, “The Final Gallardo,” doesn’t give it away, the linked Lamborghini web page confirms it beyond the shadow of a doubt. The Gallardo goes out of production with a face lift for the 2013 model year, seen on both coupe and open-air Spyder variants. The restyled front end is more angular, and the refreshed rear gets more engine cooling vents for better thermal efficiency. An...

  • Mark Bachman's 1970 Chevy Chevelle
    1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Redefines What A Muscle Car Can Be: Video

    Muscle cars are loud, juvenile, socially irresponsible and, sooner or later, harmful to your health. Like binge drinking and death metal, they’re an obsession generally meant for the young, before things like raising a family and not frightening the neighbors become meaningful. Or are they?...

  • A pair of Nissan Skylines  - image grab from a Petroliscious video
    What's Better Than A Vintage Nissan Skyline? Two Of Them: Video

    Ivan Jaramillo is our kind of car enthusiast. Not only do we admire his passion for early Nissan Skylines, we agree that an audio system has no place in a car like this. Sometimes, the mechanical symphony of gears, carburetors, linkages and a in-line six-cylinder engine are all you really need...

  • 2014 Porsche Cayman

    Porsche’s completely-redesigned 2013 Boxster was a major step forward for the German brand, and it looks like the all-new 2013 Cayman will offer the same progress in a hard-top version. The new car certainly looks better (in our eyes, anyway), and we’ll tell you exactly how much better it is to drive as soon as we get some seat time. For now, the new Cayman offers buyers the choice of a 2.7-liter flat-six good for 275 horsepower (in base models), or a 3.4-liter flat-six rated at 325 horsepower (in S models). While the new Cayman models are more fuel efficient than those of the...

    2014 Nissan GT-R Preview: 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show

    Few other automakers spend as much time, money and effort in honing their range-topping sports cars as Nissan devotes to the GT-R.
