Plumbers solder copper pipe joints with LP gas torches. They typically buy the LP gas in one pound cylinders. It's entirely possible that one of those leaking could just as well generate an explosive atmosphere in the confines of a car trunk.

CP. When it comes to customizing if you aren't going to do it right, don't do it all. The early LUVs pre-5mph bumpers were really good looking little trucks. The right wheels and tires to fill up the fender wells gave them a nice stance, and they looked fast despite the anemic little 4-banger under the hood. The dude…

Gawd, drifting sucks.

BRM V-16, 'nuff said.

This is just Bad Ass.

Stig stickers.

Dad must have been royally pissed when he posted the ad because he couldn't wait until the sun came up to get some photos. I can see him storming out of the house in the middle of the night with a camera and cursing under his breath after the last straw argument with princess daughter. NP all the way. Nothing a couple…

I've driven our Sienna for something like 20 miles with DTE showing zero, and it still had 1.5 gallons in it when I filled up. Drives my wife nuts... If you know your mileage and the number of miles driven, this isn't a problem. A long time ago I learned to reset my trip odometer every time I filled up and use the…

My wife freaks out if I let the gauge get below a quarter. I'm one of those who always knows just how far I can go on a tank and I take perverse satisfaction by waiting to fill up until I've got about a half a gallon left or less. Personally I think this is a testimony to the guys and gals who design fuel pick-ups.…

A real man wouldn't 'plank' while a Raptor jumped over him. He'd Tebow!

IIRC, Ernie Elliott later admitted his brother Bill's amazing speedway performances in 1985 were not due to any sorcery in the engine compartment, but instead due the Coors-Melling Thunderbirds being a an inch or so narrower than the rest of the field. I can't find a citation, so this may be just a rumor.

The compressed-air powered Tatas that are supposed to hit the market "any day now." Riggggght....

The Linn Cove viaduct is lovely, although not really an overpass. Despite being the location of a thousand car commercials, it's not as great as it could be because of the 35 mph speed limit. The Top Gear guys were a little disappointed, I think.

Better image.

Spaghetti Junction, Atlanta, GA. The northeast intersection of I-85 with I-285. I'm always surprised at how elegant it looks from the air, because it looks like such a confusing mess from highway level.

Note to self: buy a HANS before trying this at home. Because ouch. Cool, but ouch.

Bad. Ass. NP all the way, how could anyone vote otherwise?

This shows perfectly why drifting is pointless automotive masturbation. Mr. Loeb shows us you can go opposite lock and still haul ass.

Amen. There never was a more pointless pastime. Not that I don't appreciate opposite-lock action, but only when it's meant to help someone go faster when racing. WRC, check. World of Outlaws, check. Rallycross, check. Late Model Sportsmen at Dixie Speedway, check. The lead car in this video is appears to able to go…

Aw, now you're making me feel bad for nominating him for "worst car review" a couple of months ago. (The "Motorweek" feature started immediately afterwards. Coincidence?)
