We can’t all be walking automotive encyclopedias. But we can all read Ride Guides and learn a new thing or two. Ride Guides is our series of infographics and posts designed to better help you identify classic and performance vehicles. In our first installment, we showed you how to identify 1960-66 Chevrolet pickups. Then we
In December, we introduced you to the most powerful factory Cadillac in history: the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Featuring a supercharged 6.2L LT4, this sexy sedan will throw down 640 horsepower and 630 ft.-lbs. of torque. According to the team at Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), this is a good starting point. Hennessey is in the business
A note from BIGFOOT: I turned 40 this year. And I went through something of a midlife crisis. This is the second part of my story. You can read the first part here. … I tried all those other jobs because I just knew there had to be more to life than crushing cars and total
Actor James Best passed away yesterday at the age of 88. Best is probably known most for his role as the hapless Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on TV’s The Dukes of Hazzard series.

The 1970 Buick GSX. A product of one of the greatest muscle car years in American automotive history, the 1970 GSX offers everything a muscle car should—plus a little luxury, too. Sandwiched between General Motors’ 1960s ban on engines larger than 400 cubic inches and the stricter government and emissions regulations that came along in the 70s,
The champions are no more. The Yenko Nova came up short in its bid to repeat as Muscle Car Match-Ups champion. And the 2013 champion, the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427, failed to reclaim the title. That means there will be a brand new champion crowned in 2015. Vote now for your winner (you can see how here).
Don’t look now, but we may be headed for a killer final-round match-up between the winner of the first-ever Muscle Car Match-Ups in 2013 (the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427), and last year’s winner, the 1969 Chevy Yenko 427 Nova. Rad. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, because there are a couple cars that still want
How old is 40 in truck years? I’ve gotten that question a lot. Turns out it’s still 40. And at 40 years old, even a successful, accomplished monster truck isn’t immune from a midlife crisis. How else would you explain these past few months? After all, the first 39 years were wonderful. I spent the
