This coming weekend, our country will be celebrating the annual Fourth of July holiday. And what better way to celebrate the rich history of the USA than with a week long tribute to some of the most bad ass American automobiles ever made? I sure can't think of a better way, so here we go with the Super Muscle Car Shootout!

This web video is actually a trailer for the Muscle Car Shootout that aired on the Speed Channel in 2006, but the cars showcased here are simply timeless. Some of the most powerful American performance car classics are … Read more

My final web video blog dedicated to some of the scariest car fires in modern auto racing history, we have this video that isn't accompanied by much supplementary information, but it's almost irrelevant - this is one of the baddest crashes in auto racing. The conditions are rainy and misty, and at first we just see a car skid off to the side of the track. But that's just the calm before the storm. As the car just sits there, all of a sudden at the :27 mark another vehicle plows right into the skidded car, resulting … Read more

Retired F1 champion Michael Schumacher joins up with Bacardi on its campaign against drunk driving, although the drunk simulation in this video is very amusing. Watch as Schumacher pilots a Maserati around a course he has never driven, carting around three opera singers.

Sorry if anyone missed me yesterday, but unfortunately I was bed ridden most of the day with food poisoning. Trust me, it was far from fun or pretty.

Speaking of all things not pretty, this week we've witnessed some of the wildest and scariest car fires in modern racing. However, today we're gonna travel back in time to 1987 at an ARCA event that goes up in smoke.

This footage was shot at the ARCA Permatex 500 at Talladega, Alabama and features racing vet Bill Scott with fire and smoke emanating from his vehicle. ONe crew member is … Read more

Jaguar is leading the way in lower fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions by using a lighter weight aluminum body shell in the 2010 Jaguar XJ. Designers for the new model talk about why it will outperform previous generations.

As we have seen thus far this week in my blog, auto racing crashes that lead to car fires are pretty scary. But as today's video shows, perhaps what's even more frightening is a car fire that seemingly comes out of nowhere...and that's exactly what happens in this video from pit lane at Road America.

This web video from YouTube doesn't come along with a whole lot of additional information (date, name of race, driver, etc), but that doesn't really matter. No matter what year, what driver or how big the event, nothing could … Read more

This week my video blog is dedicated to some of the wildest and scariest car fires in modern racing, and a tribute to the brave men and women who risk their lives driving these dangerous vehicles for us spectators. Today's video comes from a 2003 NASCAR race at Chicagoland in 2003, and features Sprint Cup Series driver Bobby Labonte.

This web video here wastes no time getting to the thick of the action as right at the beginning you can see Labonte's car spinning and smoking as it hits the wall and catches fire. The vehicle rolls backwards, … Read more

Let's face it--auto racing can be dangerous. And there probably isn't anything scarier to a driver than being in a car going over 100 mph, crashing, and having the thing catch fire. So as a tribute to the brave men and women of auto racing who risk their lives every time they hit the track, I am dedicating this week's blog post to some of the scariest car fires in modern Nascar history.

The catalyst that led to me doing this week's post on car fires and their brave surviving drivers came from reading an article … Read more
