The 2010 Edmonton Motor Show was this past weekend, in case you forgot to look at your calendar. As you would expect, CarEnvy was there in full force. Ok, so it was just me and a few friends, but at least someone went. The show was noticeably smaller than in years past. Almost depressingly so. [...]

This video is far from new, but watching it again brings no shortage of joy to my cold, Canadian heart. This remains one of the best documented examples of wheel-to-wheel racing proficiency that I’ve ever seen. It is certainly good enough to warrant a quick visit over to eBay Motors.

You may have heard about the current Late Night Wars situation going on in the land of our fair neighbours to the South, especially since globally-renowned car fanatic nutball fanboy enthusiast Jay Leno is at the centre of the fray.
