Don Crosby, the owner of a 1954 Mercury Sun Valley coupe which we have featured both here and in the book, “Class of 2009,” recently passed away. Don was a devoted member of the cruising community, being a regular sight at the Pony Corral’s cruise nights. He could also be found at most car shows [...]
The tachometer’s spindly red needle climbed steadily towards the right, dropped back to a safe (and fuel efficient) number, and began climbing again. As I mashed the pedal harder, the needle suddenly shot back towards the redline, in concert with the screaming of the little car’s four-banger engine. The glowing plastic piece repeated the [...]
To get you pumped up for this weekend’s Ferrari Festival in Ottawa, we’ve assembled this gallery of (really crappy) photos from the Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. In case you’re wondering, yes, it was our fearless editor-in-chief, Jordan Morningstar, who took all these photos way back in 2001. Of course, back then he wasn’t a [...]
Finding the tiny village of Curran, Ontario, isn’t as tough as one would imagine–simply drive east on the #17 highway until all the signs turn French, and make a right. However, driving to Curran isn’t a case of “where,” but more a question of “why.” There’s a main street (which also happens to be County [...]
That’s right–500 posts, car shows, feature articles, and photographs, right here! It’s taken us just over three years to reach this lofty goal, and it’s something that we’re pretty darn proud of. SundayCruiseFever.com (and our book series) has been featured in several online and offline publications, including the Winnipeg Free Press (twice), Canadian Hot Rods [...]
Cruising is something that gives us a sense of community, of belonging. It’s a tradition that ties the young, the old, and everyone inbetween together for a common interest. And if the amount of funds raised for charity by car shows and car clubs is any indication of our true intentions, our common interest is [...]
Hot rodding isn’t just about the cars-if it was, we wouldn’t have so many interesting people among us. In fact, the great part about being a part of the cruising ‘scene is the fact that we’re a culture first, and the cars really do come second. Of course, a culture is nothing without art, and [...]
Earlier today, Jalopnik featured the recent review of the 2010 Camaro SS on Top Gear. It went something like this: Did you watch it to the end? I didn’t. Most true car fanatics wouldn’t, either. It’s almost as if someone brought the Mercedes on-set to piss off Chevrolet, or to make American cars look bad, [...]
A few weeks ago, we showed you the collection of rare and notable vehicles from the Science & Technology museum in Ottawa, Ontario. And although the average person would stare in awe of the amazing collection of ancient cars, computers, and train stock currently held by the museum, it begs the question: what do the [...]
In 1967, the Canadian government put together one of the most revolutionary museums in the country, known as the Science & Technology Museum. The sprawling facility was not only unique in its collection of Canadian innovations and inventions, it was also one of the first museums to take a “hands-on” approach to displays, giving patrons [...]
