The music video era began well after the so-called golden age of hot rodding ended. Once MTV launched in 1981, car-loving bands and musicians began flooding our TV screens with some pretty cool rides via music videos. Here are our nominees for the “Best Car in a Music Video.” Your write-in votes are also encouraged. Vote for or add
Golden Earring’s “Radar Love” was released in 1973. Great song. It’s so great, that at least one person gave it a write-in vote for our “Best 1960s Driving Song” Cammy Award. It’s unclear at this time whether the commenter was simply confused about the release date of “Radar Love,” or whether he got his hands on Uncle
Greg Anderson is quite accustomed to being first. The four-time Pro Stock world champion had a staggering 78 career wins heading into the 2016 NHRA season, but career win #79 at last weekend’s season-opening NHRA Winternationals will stand out as one of the most memorable and impressive of his career.

Bigger cultural movement — American hot rodding or the British Invasion? While the answer is up for debate, there’s no disputing that cars and music go hand-in-hand — and have for quite some time. Custom cars, classic vehicles, and sports cars have been the focal points of many songs, albums, videos, and even band names. And what
Much has been said about the EPA’s proposed regulation against converting street vehicles into race cars — in the media and the proposal itself. The EPA proposal comes in at over 600 pages and is filled with murky language, leaving various media outlets to draw their own conclusions on what the regulation means. The bottom line, according
The list of new Top Gear presenters is finally complete…we think. The BBC announced today that the show will have a total of seven presenters when it returns in May. We learned in June that car enthusiast and radio host Chris Evans would assume the difficult task of replacing Jeremy Clarkson, who was fired nearly a year ago for
The Pontiac GTO is arguably the car that started the American muscle car movement. The legendary “Goat” started as an option for the Pontiac Tempest in 1964, became a standalone model in 1966, and returned to its original option status in 1973.
