Check Out This Candy Dipped 1960 Pontiac Swagger Package.

1960 pontiac

WATCH THIS VIDEO OF IT RIGHT NOW.

This is 20 feet of 100 percent pure, swagger-coated, 1960 Pontiac. It appears to have 1959 Cadillac tail light lenses, and early 1960’s Cadillac upper tail fins.  It’s sitting on monster chrome wheels that are least 20 inches, but probably more like 22’s. Air ride suspension lives underneath with fast dump valves (likely 1/2 inch at least), and they are fully connected to a keyfob.  To complete the ultimate swagger package, this sexy American steel is dipped in a sweet candy red paint. I think this swagger package is complete, son.

Deceleration: This is it.

The X-Games is awesome to watch, but not so awesome when people crash and get injured.  That was the case with Toomas Heikkinen a few days ago. It was rumored that he broke his ankle and got a few other bumps and bruises.  Considering the speed and the extremely abrupt deceleration, I’d say he did fairly well if that was his worst injury.

Watch The Videos We Have So Far

Turbo 4G63 Dragster Runs 6.85 @ 195mph

Remember last summer when we watched the 4G63 (read: Mitsubishi Eclipse engine) powered dragster go deep into the 7’s in the quarter mile at 190 mph? Well this year it runs 6.85’s and 195. According to math, science and history, that officially makes this thing sickly fast, and a new record holder.  The guys at turbo4.com deserve a round of applause for really pushing the limits with this engine, and the car that it is strapped into.  Amazing work as always!  Now let’s see what 200mph looks like!

Watching A Lamborghini Crash Is Mostly Just Sad.

Watching a car crash is like, well, watching a car crash. You see the impending doom, time slows down and you start moaning like a zombie. Then the inevitable happens, the car collides with something and your zombie-esque moan turns into a breathy lung exhausting “aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh”.

This video is one of those moments.  You know what’s about to happen from the first rev of the engine. One minute later, the Lamborghini becomes the swirly meat in a giant car sandwich. The only word that comes to mind in this instance is a sarcastic “unprofessional“.  Sorry for your loss of nice bodywork Lambo.

Behind The Smoke Season 2: Episode 3

If you have already watched the First and Second episodes, you are likely addicted and in desperate need of episode 3.  That’s where we come in, because we have it up here for your convenience.  This episode takes place in Long Beach and shows Dai working his way through some troubles with his driving. Videos like these make me want to go do smokey burnouts in the nearest parking lot.
