  • 12-year-old completes oil change

    There are a handful of automotive skills that are fading as time marches forward. Less people know how to drive a manual gearbox. Changing a tire is a mystery to those with their magical AAA card. Swapping out brake pads is akin to open-heart surgery for some. However, for one father and his 12-year-old daughter, the automobile and its basic maintenance tasks will not remain a mystery. Step by step, Josie walks us through an oil change on a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu. She works safely and knows all about jack stands. From there she moves methodically through the steps, including the long time that...

  • 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon First Drive

    Sometimes, the best things are kept secret. In the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon's case, only a handful of the automaker's engineers knew about the headline-making muscle car. The great lengths Dodge went through to ensure the Challenger Demon project was kept a secret are pretty commendable, detailed in a video from Autoline. The brand covered all of its bases to ensure nothing seemed out of the ordinary when testing and developing the car internally. Foremost, a buzzworthy codename was off the table. Instead of dubbing the Demon's monstrous 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine something like...

  • Tom Cotter uncovers priceless barn finds on his show

    Pegaso is a Spanish company that built trucks, buses, and armored vehicles. It had done so from its founding in 1946 through 1994, the year truckmaker Iveco took over the company. In the 1950s, though, Pegaso built another, very different kind of vehicle. It was called the Z-102, a lovely sports car that proved to be lightning-quick for its day. The one in the video above is in rough shape, but it will almost certainly be worth a million bucks sometime in the future. Tom Cotter is the host of "Barn Find Hunter," and he's on a mission to uncover cool cars hiding beneath years of dust and...

Still, it's...
