Car collector Bob Jones added a car to his vast collection that makes 17,500 horsepower and has been clocked on the Bonneville Salt Flats at 342.88 miles per hour—and it’s not even the fastest car in his garage. Cyclops—one of many jet-powered Green Monster cars built and piloted by Art Arfons—joined Jones’ remarkable vehicle collection
Five months. That’s all that stands between us and a painful, fiery Mayan meltdown. But look on the bright side—that’s five months to enjoy some of the best events in hot rodding before that Mayan calendar runs out on December 21, 2012. But seriously, there really are only five months left in the year and
What’s more American than pulling into your favorite drive-in, rolling down the window of your 1957 Chevy, and ordering a greasy burger, fries, and milkshake? Don’t get us wrong, we enjoy our iPads, smart phones, and flat-screen TVs. But we’d love to go all Marty McFly and celebrate just one July 4th in 1950s and
As we’d hope you know, Mount Rushmore is one of the most patriotic landmarks in the country. Although our nation was founded, built, and influenced by many great Americans, only four have been carved in stone as the most significant—at least in the eyes of Doane Robinson, who conceived the idea for Mount Rushmore.

Which superheroes have the best cars? It didn’t take long to realize the list is pretty short. Superman flies magic-style. Wonder Woman rocks an invisible jet. Thor gets pulled around by some angry light-speed flying rams. The lesson here, we think, is that humans are really the best judge of what’s great in the
Father’s Day gets us thinking about dads. Writing about cars gets us thinking about racing. So it was only a matter of time before we started thinking about dads in racing. And think about it, we did. Who are the best father-son (or in the case of the Forces, the best father-daughter) tandems or groups
Father’s Day is Sunday. Hopefully, you’ve picked out a nice Father’s Day gift for your old man in return for all the wisdom he’s gifted you with over the years. I mean seriously—where would we all be without wise advice like: “Measure twice, cut once.” “If it ain’t broke, don’t mess with it.” And “Weed
You spoke. We listened. When we presented our 10 favorite movie cars about a month ago, we wanted to have some fun and get the conversation started. And you guys delivered. Some of you were less than enthused with some of our choices. One passionate reader, Gene S., was particularly disappointed. Gene offered this: [sic]
Do you get annoyed and irritated when your job throws you a curveball? Maybe you have to work an extra shift, or perhaps your boss threw a last-minute project on your desk with an unrealistic deadline. Or maybe your latest sales report got rejected, because you used the wrong T.P.S. cover sheet. Whatever the situation, chances are you’ve never
A countless number of incredible cars have graced the silver screen. It’s impossible to recall from memory just how many great ones there have been, and even more impossible to pare them down to one 10-car list. But we tried anyway. This list isn’t gospel.
