They say that obsession is the only thing that truly creates success. This proved true last weekend at the 22nd running of the Lake Superior Performance Rally. My driver, Adam VanDamme and I pulled off a feat that should not have worked – and yet it somehow did. I attribute it to sheer willpower and passion, with a…
Thankfully, Subaru makes a very safe vehicle and he was not injured. The Honda driver did not stop after the crash to see if he was okay. This happened this morning in Grand Rapids, MI.
Someone, anyone...for everything that is good and beautiful in this world, please - buy this and DON’T CHANGE A THING.
The decision was already made. As soon as we saw the Focus RS was coming to America, my wife and I knew, this was it. Our first truly new car, it will be replacing our Mazdaspeed 3 which will be sent to track only duty (no, of course we aren’t getting rid of it). I stopped in at my local reputable Ford dealership…
The best things are wasted on the worst people, it seems. The poor thing only made it just over 9,000 miles...
In particular, my favorite DSM - the 97-99 Talon TSi AWD in Black with no sunroof.
I've been pursuing a certain modification to my wife's Mazdaspeed 3, namely a spin-on oil filter mod. The car came with a cartridge filter that is rather obnoxious and a pain. The Mazda3 2.0 uses a spin on filter, and the adapter from that engine literally bolts right up to the 2.3t under our hood. I've waited and…
I can honestly say I've never been more intrigued by a car then when I spotted this tiny little three wheeled wonder outside the Cabela's in Grand Rapids tonight. I love it's tiny circular center headlight, as it reminds me of something out of the movie Robots.
Ditches love hooks.

So far as I can work out through hours of reading, nobody has yet attempted taking the HiPer Strut setup from the Buick LaCrosse CXS and Regal GS and modifying it to fit in a different FWD car. For those who aren't familiar with it, this is GM's version of the RevoKnuckle, which is the variation on a Macpherson Strut…
Because I don't care for punk that much.
Because of a local car cruise, my local news station is doing a human interest story on car culture. It's going to be a juxtaposition of an older man talking about his old car versus me and my wife's Mazdaspeed3. He will be talking about how he doesn't think young people are car enthusiasts anymore, and I have to…
We've all been there. You need your car and it's broken, and you either don't have money for the part, or it's obscure and hard to get, and would take too long to get there. So you get creative.
When playing your favorite driving game/sim, which camera angle/view do you choose? My personal favorite is the hood view. When I was a kid, I always played in the behind-the-car view, because that was standard on most Need For Speed games and the consoles at Chuck-E-Cheese. When I finally started playing GT4, I…
