If you’re a Dodge fan then this may just be the perfect little car for you. This is a 1973 Dodge Dart Sport that would make the perfect starter MOPAR for those looking to get into the hobby. The recipient of a recent repaint in its original B5 blue, this Dart sports a 340 cu.in. V8, 904 transmission and an 8 3/4 rear-end with brand new 3.73 gears. A new vinyl top was also installed, along with a stripe kit, rear deck lid spoiler and hood scoop. The engine bay and interior look to be in meticulous condition thus giving this old Dart Sport some very serious curb appeal. The starting bid stands at $16,700.00, which may seem high. However I can assure you that it would be almost impossible to put something like this together for under that price point.

They can be had with a host of different engines, weigh in at under 2,000 lbs. and have the ability to put the hurt on cars costing 5 times as much. This is a Caterham R300 that’s owned and driven by one Vincent Beltoise during the Grand Challenge 2011 in Alès, France. A mixture of gravel and tarmac, the course is one that tests all aspects of a drivers skill and prowess behind the wheel. Beltoise however not only makes it look easy, but ends up finishing 1st decimating the entire field.

Growing up in New York State meant that we were privy to wonderful hot summers and terrible, snow-covered winters. However as a teenager with a fun, rear-wheel drive car at my disposal, those winters were the stuff that drifting dreams were made of. Get a little packed snow, drop my then 1984 300ZX in 2nd gear and PRESTO! Fun for hours. Chris Harris recently took my adolescent antics to the 100th degree when he traveled up to Sweden to partake in the Below Zero Ice Driving School. Click through and check it out.

There are two type of Range Rover enthusiasts out there. Those who like to be seen in them, and those who actually purchase them for their off-road abilities. Unfortunately the vast majority of owners (like 99%) dump big money on these wonderful machines for the sole purpose of being seen. Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire recently headed to Arizona on Range Rovers dime to sample the new 2013 line of Rovers, so make sure to check it out after the jump.

The 1951 Ford Custom Club Coupe is the quintessential old school business coupe. It’s got great lines, a simplistic interior and when maintained properly, will literally run forever. Owner Eric Ralle has been the caretaker of this all original example for the past 27 years and is very proud of the fact that – “it’s just the way Henry Ford built in back in 1950.”

Yes Eric, it most certainly is.

Watching the unfortunate crashes that recently took place at the 2013 Bathurst 12h was somewhat bittersweet. This series is reminder of what used to take place during the heyday of Trans Am racing here in the United States. Sadly, I supposed all we can look forward too now are the Monterrey historics that take place on one Sunday in August during the week of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance at Mazda Laguna Seca raceway. Click through and watch as a few classic Holdens meet their demise during the race action.

They just keep getting better and better don’t they. This is the new trailer for Codemaster’s “GRID 2″, a game that is the perfect blend of Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo. Part arcade game and part simulator, GRID 2 is said to engage the player with a beefed up physics engine, improved graphics and of course, more damage. So, is it any good? Well honestly we don’t know yet. However if this new trailer is any indication of what’s to come, then we can’t wait to get our hands on a copy.

Do you like Miami Vice, cocaine and shoulder pads? Well, if you do, then the Ferrari Testarossa is the car for you! Packing a 4.9-liter flat-12, the Testarossa pumped out 390 hp / 361 lb.ft of torque, ran to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and onto a top speed of 180 mph. Pretty amazing numbers for something that was built almost 30 years ago. A beautiful car that has handled the ravages of time amazingly well, the Testarossa is one of those rare cars that still inspires designers and creates dreams in the minds of little boys everywhere.

Almost 30 years has gone by since Back to the Future hit the big screen in 1985. Back then cars were slow, fashion was terrible and cocaine was all the rage. Thankfully time has marched on, and while most of the 1980′s has been forgotten, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thankful that Back to the Future still remains. Oh, and for those of you who have never seen it before, here it is wrapped up into a 60-second montage.

There’s really no one way to describe what hot-rodding is to people. Some perceive it as a bunch of guys that roll around in shitty old cars trying to look cool. Others view the hobby as one that brings out the best of your automotive imagination. Whatever group you fall into though, rest assured that most true hot-rodders could give a shit what you think and simply roll to their own tune. Flake & Flames is an upcoming documentary that explores rods in general and gives us all a little insight into why the custom car culture is one of the greatest hobbies to be associated with.

There are pizza delivery guys, and then there are PIZZA delivery guys. Think about this for a moment. You call up Domino’s, order your pie and then, 30-minutes later a tricked out BMW E46 M3 slides up to your front door hot pizza in hand. Now I don’t know about you, but if that happened to me I’d be giving the driver the biggest tip he’d ever seen. Click through and check it out.

Here in the United States driving is a privilege, not a right and Americans view their licenses as gold. We study, take courses and ultimately take a long drawn-out drivers test in order to be deemed “competent” to operate a motor vehicle. In other parts of the world though it seems that not only does driver training not exist, but that there are also no negative ramifications for taking out another motorist. The following crash compilation comes to us from Russia, and hot damn if it’s not one of the best we’ve seen to date.

There’s no shortage of racing titles out there in the world of console gaming. Names like Gran Turismo, GRID and Forza Motorsport obviously come to mind. However even with those stellar titles, companies like Slightly Mad Studios have decided there is still room for one more.

With all the hoopla surrounding the recently released 2014 C7 Corvette, it seems that people are forgetting just how good the outgoing C6 actually is. To cap off their final production run Chevrolet has seen fit to release the final edition by way of the Corvette 427. That means 505 hp, an almost 200 mph top speed and a roof that disappears at the touch of a button. The other thing to consider is that dealers will be HEAVILY discounting the current crop of C6 Vette’s currently on the market, so if your interested, now is the time to act!

The BULLRUN Rally is one of those events that’s on the bucket list of every automotive hoon out there. You take some of the best cars in the world, add in a few great hotels and parties and then wrap it all together in a 3,000 mile road trip that’s full of fun and debauchery. However if BULLRUN’s price is out of your league, then have no fear as you can now get your BULLRUN jollies on HULU! In short it’s a blast… Oh, and believe me as I know this for a fact.

Not too many of us have actually been over 200 mph, unless that is, you were flying at over 36,000 feet. Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire and DRIVE’s TUNED recently took an opportunity to break this barrier by climbing behind the wheel of John Hennessey’s insanely fast Venom GT, a car that recently ran its way into the record books. What’s even crazier though is that he did this in the Venom GT Spyder because his helmeted head wouldn’t fit in the coupe! Click through to check out the video.

If you check you’re favorite automotive sites on a daily basis then you’ve no doubt seen the group of jackasses that shut down a Northern, CA freeway so they could do donuts. Well it comes to our attention that they’re now not only wanted by the California authorities, but that a few internet bloodhounds are eagerly trying to track them down as well. It’s no secret that people like to have a little fun in their rides every now and then, but doing something as stupid and reckless as this is simply unacceptable.

It’s one thing to be riding on a motorcycle and to get caught in dodgy weather, but riding through it on purpose? That’s another story entirely. On this, RideApart’s season II finale, two-wheeled superhero Jamie Robinson climbs aboard a KTM 990 Adventure and heads for the back hills of Colorado where he faces ice, snow and or course, the occasional dirt trail. He also proves once and for all that motorcycling is not so much about the bike that you ride, but about the adventure that it takes you on.

It’s an almost impossible thing, really. That is to say, to use one automobile for everything. Race cars for example make awful daily drivers, and daily drivers tend to make awful race cars. If there was a way to combine the two though, would you do it? Jack Olsen, owner of this vintage Porsche 911 RSR did just that with a car that he fell in love with the first time he saw it.
