You could learn a lot from a dummy. And not just any dummies-today we’re learning from Vince and Larry! These two crash test dummies come to life started their career as spokespeople for the National Traffic Safety Administration. The spots would feature the not-so-inanimate objects going through car accident after car accident, severing legs, arms, [...]
September is supposed to be a miserable time of year for kids. Summer is over, the hot weather is gone, and it’s time to get back to school. However, there is one September that children the world over weren’t quite so blue. On September 7th, 1968, the Mattel toy company released sixteen tiny little cars, [...]
This week’s Hottie Wheels is brought to you by Winnipeg’s own Jay Bourke: Jay has been shooting for a while now, albeit with a Canon camera. With results like this, we can forgive him for that little oversight. Here’s what he had to say about himself: “I’m a local amateur photographer who has a passion [...]
No matter how much fun something is, it’s always better with a remote control. Televisions, DVD players-heck, there’s even remote controls for fireplaces and house lights nowadays. Of course, the one thing that’s always more fun with a remote control is cars. Want proof? Ask the Top Gear crew: Naturally, modifying your BMW to remote [...]
There’s lots to be said for the roadside attractions that litter the I-90 route through South Dakota, both good and bad.

The field had all the astroturf and lines, but it looked awfully small to my Canadian eyes. However, there were some cool ads, one of which has created a bit of buzz amongst [...]
Buses take on all shapes and sizes. There’s the big yellow school bus that we’re all familiar with from our childhood. There’s the city bus that takes many of us to work, and the Greyhound bus that shuttles millions of people from place to place. They all have an important purpose in society, and all [...]
This week’s beautiful woman on a bitchin’ car comes to us from Craig Mayes, and is sponsored by the letter “D.” As in “Damn…” Craig calls himself a semi-pro photographer, although he probably deserves more credit than that. You see, Craig is one of those lucky individuals who gets to shoot for a major hot [...]
Thirty years ago last week, an orange ‘69 Dodge Charger flew across televisions for the first time-literally. The airborne Mopar, named “General Lee,” came into our homes on that cold January night, instantly capturing our hearts and our adrenal glands. Millions tuned in every week to see the adventures of Bo and Luke Duke, as [...]
