The 1988 Conquest Had A SWEET Fuse Box!

In 1988, Mitsubishi… err… I mean Chrysler, really had their game face on.  The Chrysler Conquest not only had cutting edge body lines, a ferocious 2.6L turbo engine, and seats that hug you like your favorite teddy bear, but these cars had a totally radical fuse box! Check it. Imagine you drop a dime in your cigarette lighter and POP goes your fuse.  Bummer. You do the electric slide all the way under your dash, and find the grossest display of awesome that the 1980’s could only provide.  Inside the fuse box, Chrysler has given you a slider and a LED that tells you if your fuses are blown or not.  As soon as you slide next to one that doesn’t light the bulb up, you pop in a new one, and you are ready to plug in your bag-phone again. Nicely done Chrysler!

Hey Look At The VW Bus I Spotted!

We all know that VW’s are a cult, but when it comes to air cooled Volkswagens, things just get weird.  Yesterday I spotted this very strange scene, and I knew that it needed to be captured on film.  Now, I am a fairweather VW enthusiast, you may even call me a VW enthusiast of convenience.  However, I have some friends that are hard core, notch your subframe, stretch your 205’s over a 9 inch rim,  plaid 4LFE, I brake for ants – sort of people.   Read More

Is That A Bentley Stuck On The Beach?

Sometimes Bentley owners get tired of their lavish indoor swimming pools, and they want to try out real beaches like the common folk do.  Unfortunately for this beautiful car, the driver was apparently unaware that parking of vehicles takes place on the pavement, and not the sandy beaches. Oopsy!  Who would have guessed that a 500+ horsepower, $200,000 Bentley would be defeated by something as cheap as sand? If I had been there, I would have recommended sticking hundred dollar bills under the tires to get it unstuck. I heard that works really well.

Somewhere In Oregon There Is A Man….


….and that man found the remains of an old truck in the beautiful countryside.  Naturally he grabbed the helm of the prehistoric ship and took it for an imaginary sail around the luscious green field.

Don’t even think about saying that you have never done this before, because you know you have.  Just think about how many times you have been in the drivers seat of a car making high revving engine sounds while rowing the gears of the missing transmission. It’s what we do, no reason to deny it. The only question about this image that I have is: “Is that really a hand crank for the engine on the front?!!!” You’d have to be completely nuts the to spin that engine over by hand with intentions of keeping all your limbs. Yikes!

The early 1900’s – When men were men.

Start Your Monday With 12 Shots Of Engines.

Can you believe that it’s already June 13th? Half way through 2011, and I feel like I haven’t had time to work on any of my automotive projects yet.

Well, let’s focus on something positive this beautiful Monday morning, like 12 great looking engines. ——–> Read More
