While some folks out there may find road rage amusing, I can assure you that there’s nothing funny about it. The following video shows us an irate Toyota Camry driver doing everything they can to cause an accident with a gray and red sports car. Now, unfortunately the driver of the striped car didn’t call the police, but that is exactly what should’ve be done in a situation such as this. In a day and age when dash cameras are all the rage pulling a stunt like this and getting away with it is going to be harder and harder to do. Click through and check it out.

It’s only been within the last 10 years or so that love for the 3rd generation Dodge Charger has gone public. Most gravitate to the 2nd gen models built between 1968-1970, however now, ’71-’74 models are slowly gaining ground. What you are viewing this morning is a very highly optioned 1971 Dodge Charger R/T. With options like the rare Chrysler cassette player, air-grabber hood and bucket seats, this old Charger is something that’s sure to turn heads everywhere it goes. The car is said to have gone through a complete restoration, however the ad doesn’t state when or who did it. Regardless though, the car does appear to be flawless.

This is a 1967 275 GTB/4. I absolutely love this special car! Based on emails and comments received during my last Ferrari restoration (288 GTO), everyone wanted to know the steps I take BEFORE I begin the compound/polish etc stage. What facts need to be understood prior to apply any product or machine… The information gathered before repairing the paint will dictate how you decide what products/abrasives (or not) to use to remove the minimal amount of surface (clear or single) to save the “working life” of the paint. Remember, pro-detailers get paid… not for how much they “remove”, but for how much they “leave” intact. -Larry Kosilla, Founder / AMMO NYC!

Pro-touring is the art of taking and old car and fitting it with modern components so as to give it the performance to be able to run head-to-head with today’s modern sports cars. Now when most people think of this, they immediately think of modernized muscle cars. But what about taking vintage imports and doing the same thing. MotorTrend recently got two amazing Nissan Z cars together for an all-out track comparison. Car 1 was a modern day 370z fitted with just about every bolt-on you could possibly purchase over the parts counter. Car 2 was a vintage 1970 Datsun 240z with an RB26 engine transplant that was built by Gordon MacSwain of Ohio. Both cars are fast, nimble and have serious track cred, but at days end, who will be the victor? Click through to find out.

It’s not the fastest, tidiest or best way to get around a road course, but when it comes to full-on drifting excitement, there is no one better in the business than Tiff Needell. On this episode of EVOTV, Tiff grabs hold of a Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Jaguar’s new F-type for a flat-out track battle to see which machine has the goods when it comes to carving it up during weekend road course duty.

Watching any manner of car, truck or motorcycle fly through the air is generally considered to be an exciting event. However when that vehicle weighs upwards of 17,000 lbs and comes in the form of a Freightliner Tractor, well then it graduates to EPIC. Scott Godfrey decided that he wanted to best the long distance record that was set by his little brother, so he decided to take a shot. How did it turn out? Click through to find out.

It’s a well known fact that many automobile enthusiasts first taste of speed was done through the guise of a remote control car. Over the years I’ve had just about every variety of gas and electric cars you can think of. And even now, at four decades old, I find they’re still a helluva lot of fun. As kids, these RC cars taught us about counter steering, throttle control and overall suspension behavior. Things that many adult enthusiasts fail to ever learn about. In short, not only are these little machines fun, but they have the ability to educate the crap out of all those little petrol-heads who one day want to get behind the wheel of a real car.

They’re a favorite amongst the California Cougar, amazing off-road and come with one helluva’ substantial price tag. Since 1970 Range Rovers have been giving the public a taste of their high-class ruggedness and have been doing so with a shape that has been recognizable for over 40-years. However now they’re bringing us the Evoque, a medium-sized SUV that’s been scaled back on performance, but thrust full-speed ahead on style. Hell, Victoria Beckham was a design consultant on the project. Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire recently got his hands on the Evoque to see if it was still worthy of the Range Rover name, or if it was simply all flash.

My first car was a 1981 Mercury Capri. It had four different tires, a wee-tiny 4-cylinder engine and one blown speaker in the center of the dash that was connected to a stock AM only radio. The car was a total shit-box, but to me it was the greatest thing ever. Unfortunately I ended up crashing it soon after I got it, but for some odd reason I still miss it. Now obviously in the mid-1980′s the Mustang GT 5.0 was the King of the block, however if you were a bit sly, you would’ve opted for the Mercury Capri GS. It packed the same 5.0L mill as the Mustang, but came equipped with a wicked bull-nose front end and an awesome aero-style hatchback. The one you are seeing here is bone stock, has a mere 29,000 miles on the clock and if I had the money I would’ve purchased it by now. These old fox bodies are becoming harder and harder to find in stock shape, so if you’re smart, you’ll scoop this sucker up immediately!

Make it small, make it lite, make it fast. Those are the key ingredients for any well thought out sports car and something that BMW knew from the beginning. Therefore it should come as no surprise that their iconic 2002 is one of those machines. By today’s standards they are underpowered, but that doesn’t mean that they still don’t make one of the best platforms around for customization. Marc Norris’s Bavarian Workshop of West Hills, CA decided to take this concept and make it a reality with their own vision of what a factory BMW M2 might have been like.

Every petrol-head worth his salt has a ritual when it comes to how they operate and care for their vehicle. Some enthusiasts only drive on Sundays and others, only at night. Whatever the case though one thing is always certain – we all live to drive. James Chen is one such enthusiast and his car of choice is this amazing Ferrari 250 GT Lusso. Chen drives this rare beast throughout the streets and canyons of Los Angeles county when the roads are dark and free of traffic. For him, these early morning drives are his ritual and something that we here at RL.com are totally envious of. Check it out after the jump.

Attending track events can be one of the most exhilarating and exciting things you can do with your car. From novice drivers to experts, nothing says “fun” like wringing out your ride at speed. With speed however comes the chance for danger and in a race track environment there is usually “zero” warning when things are about to go south. The following video was recently shot at Northern California’s Thunderhill Raceway and shows just how unpredictable things can get even when there are experienced drivers behind the wheel.

What you are about to witness is a first person view of a police pursuit as seen through the eyes of a motorcycle officer. The chase started when Police Motor Officer Troy Gurley spotted 24 year-old Justin O. Sanders speeding by him in a Mazda3. Officer Gurley proceeded to pursue Mr. Sanders on his bike and at times, the pursuit got downright scary. Remember, Officer Gurley is on a motorcycle which means no doors, airbags or external protection of any kind, something that made him very vulnerable to not only the speeding car, but other traffic as well. Generally when we see police chases they’re viewed from dash mounted cameras, however in this case, seeing it through a helmet cam gives this chase an entirely different look and feel.

In a cinematic world that’s filled with CGI, overpaid actors and rehashed story lines, it’s great to know that we can always fall back on those cheesy automotive flicks from the 1970s. Movies like the original Cannonball, The Seven-ups and Convoy are just a few that come to mind. However there is one that if you haven’t seen it, you really should treat yourself. It’s called Hi-Riders, and it’s got all the elements that made those B-movies from the 1970s so awesome. Check out a clip of the film after the jump.
