Happy May two-four!

For all our international readers, Victoria Day Weekend, aka “May Two-Four,” is a Canadian celebration to mark the birthday of Queen Victoria.  Since my wife is also named Victoria, we usually force her to wear a dollar store tiara and speak in a cheesy British accent all weekend. But for all those Canadians who aren’t [...]

Daily Roddin’: Yeah, it’s got a Hemi…

The hemi was king of the mountain when it came to racing applications, but many forget it also powered thousands of mundane family haulers as well.  This hunk o’ cast iron badassery was found in a plain-jane beige Chrysler sedan at the annual Beausejour car show, 2009.

Daily Roddin’: King Camaro

It’s been at least two weeks since this online hot rodding publication showed a picture of a Camaro.  In order to re-align the planets, here’s a red 1st-generation SS, complete with Cragar drag-star chrome rims.

Daily Roddin’: 1937 Ford Coupe

As the thirties (and the depression) went on, most auto makers tried to innovate their way out of the mess as one way of staying afloat.  Some were more successful than others, which is why we have the “Big Three” instead of the “Big Two, Five Middle Sized, Ten that are kinda in between, and [...]

Daily Roddin’: Something Women Like About A Pickup Man!

Old pickup trucks are where it’s at when you want to show the ladies your rugged, yet purely awesome side.  Just ask Joe Diffie:

Pimp My Streetcar: Toronto Life magazine edition

When the Toronto Transit Commission asked the public to help them develop the city’s next streetcar (aka “The Vomit Comet”), freelance writer and Mt. Everest climber Karon Liu stepped up to the challenge with his rendition of what public transit should look like. Although he’s not a gearhead at heart (just a really funny writer), [...]

Daily Roddin’: “The Buzzard,” 1931 Ford coupe

Blake Piper added this 409-powered ’31 Ford Model A Coupe to his fleet last summer, and he’s been racking  up the miles (and awards) ever since.  He even took home the “Best Undercarriage” award from the 2010 World of Wheels, beating out the usual “never driven and never will be” show cars that populate ISCA [...]

Daily Roddin’: Bonus Video

I couldn’t decide which video to embed with today’s Daily Roddin’-the cute transformers vid I posted originally, or a road test of the way-out-there Citroen SM.  An amazing piece of engineering that only the French could be bothered to build, it’s quite likely the most technologically advanced car of the 1970s-not to mention the most [...]
