Trans AM Clutch Explodes! What do you get when you mix a 620-horsepower LS7-powered Pontiac Trans Am, a pound of youthful exuberance, a handful of yahoos, and a pinch of video camera? Shrapnel. Seems these fine fellows were intent on melting a set of old meats by performing a rolling burnout. Step One: rev up [...]

Earlier this month I talked about needing a station wagon to haul around he who will be the newest addition to our little family. Station wagon, estate, touring, shooting brake… these all make sense to me.. Barring some shift in oil prices or the further breakdown of Minnesota roads, I won’t be driving an SUV [...]

Now here’s a man who gets us. Here’s a man who gets it. Chris Harris, the man who did wonderful things at Drivers Republic and has now moved over to Evo UK, has just driven one of the first Lexus LFAs to hit UK shores. And you know what? He agrees with CarEnvy when we [...]

I use the term “invades” rather loosely; “goes to” would probably be more appropriate. No matter. The 2010 Chicago Auto Show starts today and our very own Janaki will be at the CAS tomorrow to cover the media events and yours truly, your fearless Editor Peter Dushenski, will be there next Tuesday, January 21. Janaki [...]

The Canadian media is all over the fact that snow is being flown into Cypress Mountain, the site of some of the snowboarding events. Canada is supposed to be on the world stage, but this isn’t [...]

The Globe and Mail has just posted up their Valentine’s Guide to Vehicular Sex, presumably in time for ardent readers to rush out and get themselves one of their listed vehicles in time for VD…uh, Valentine’s Day. This article also mentions a certain documentary about mechaphiles who do, indeed, have sex with their cars, not [...]

The Pagani Zonda isn’t the most common of Italian-Argentian-Germanic supercars. In fact, over the last decade of production, only about 100 units have made it into the hands of wealthy connoisseurs. That only works out to about 10 cars per year. Still, it is one of the most exciting and talked about exotics on the [...]

I recently attended the 2010 Edmonton Motor Show where I saw the usual wares from the usual manufacturers. None of this was terribly exciting. The Canadian auto show circuit is now withering away, signalling the renewed cyclical scapegoatism that the motor car periodically enjoys. It will be years before the internal combustion engine is de-villified [...]

Jalopnik, henceforth referred to as “The J”, is all aflutter about the new Renault Wind. As you can see from this video, the hoopla is surrounding the folding roof mechanism. Ok, it is different from most of the systems we see on cars like the BMW 335i or the Volvo C70, but different is not a [...]
