There’s no doubt that the average Canadian has a serious love affair with their car. But, what effect has this had on the vehicles we drive? The Canadian Science and Technology Museum has a new exhibit called “In Search of the Canadian Car.” Presented by Toyota, the exhibit holds Canadian-built cars from the first steam-powered [...]
There’s a lot of people who are obsessed with wood. Most of them become lumberjacks or furniture makers. However, Steve & Jeannete of Kingman Arizona take their extreme love of dead trees in a different direction: Steve and Jeannette are the proud owners of several woody wagons from the late ’30s through the ’40s. It’s [...]
Despite what the Honda-driving, slurpee-sucking loudmouth kid at 7-11 says about his CR-V, there’s only one caped crusader who can pick up chicks with just his car-and that’s Batman. At least that’s what he modestly calls himself-with the ability to pick up retro go-go hotties like this, BatLegend is closer to the truth! Want to [...]

I’m assuming it was an available option, although the internet won’t confirm or deny anything for me. If you know about this motor, please help [...]
We spotted this 1970 Boss 302 Mustang at last year’s Cruze-In Downtown show in Winnipeg. It was just chillin’. You know, like a boss:
To mark the passing of a legendary musclecar marquee, Pontiac clubs around the world have organized Pontiac Tribute Days as a way for affected gearheads to say goodbye. The Manitoba Pontiac Association held their tribute day on June 1st, with a “funeral procession” going from Polo Park to Birchwood’s former Pontiac dealership in the Pointe [...]
This stunner of a chevy truck has been cruising the mean streets of Winnipeg for the last couple of years. The lines look so perfect, it makes you wonder why The General didn’t launch it themselves back in the day-or why the SSR didn’t keep rolling off assembly lines in the early part of this [...]
