Ryan Buck was feeling pretty good about things. Because he didn’t know he was about to have a car accident. The Lino Lakes, MN resident had just attended the 2011 Car Craft Summer Nationals in nearby St. Paul, MN, where—despite not having entered into any official competition—Buck’s 1963 Chevy II was the fastest car on

Norwalk, OH. – We enjoyed looking through our first Blue Suede Cruise gallery. So, we’re going to publish some more. We spotted some purpose-built race cars we really liked when visiting Summit Motorsports Park last weekend, as well as some folks who just wanted to get their cars on the track. Check out our gallery below. It’s
Two drag racing legends revolutionized motorsports in 1970 when they worked out a deal with Mattel Inc. that made the toy-making giant’s new Hot Wheels brand the sport’s first corporate sponsor. Mattel put logos on dragsters and put real-life drivers into Hot Wheels television commercials. Mattel was the first non-automotive corporate sponsor in professional racing
Here at OnAllCylinders, we rarely come across engine swaps that surprise us. In fact, we’ve seen high-power V8s dropped into everything from a Ford T-bucket to a Mazda Miata.

Certainly the Ford Thunderbird was a superior automobile in the early years of Corvette development. And high-end Mustangs can more than hold their own. The Viper? Outstanding. But not
So, we’ve lost Tony Soprano twice. It was a tragedy the first time, when HBO’s The Sopranos—which in this writer’s opinion, changed television forever—ended in ambiguous fashion in 2007.

Where would we all be without the encouragement, support, and friendly advice of our fathers? Whether it’s positive words of wisdom or a verbal kick in the you-know-what, dads have a unique way of sharing their knowledge and experience with us. Sometimes the delivery and tone can be suspect, but dads are rarely afraid to pass along wisdom about
Check it out. It’s the Man of Steel Power Wagon Ram pickup. We haven’t confirmed whether or not it flies. Chrysler and Warner Bros. created this one-of-a-kind rig as part of their cross-promotion efforts for the new Superman film which opens in theaters today. This unique truck is not for sale. Sadly. It’s going to be
[portfolio_slideshow id=19029] This Sunday (June 16) is Father’s Day, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t give a little shout out to one of the founding fathers of the American automobile: Henry Ford. On June 16, 1903, Ford and a group prospective stockholders met in Detroit, MI to create a new corporation called Ford Motor Company. Whether
