We had a lotto winner in Grand Rapids who would surely as clockwork smash his Viper every summer at least once. Gen I and II Vipers had an enormous hood in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) that needed to cure in the mold for a certain number of hours. With the high demand of the car and only two molds in existence,… Read more

I'm a millenial "car enthusiast" (imagine that?!?) And I'm always amazed at how disconnected these old fuckers at car publications are. If we could afford cars, we'd fucking buy them, simple as that....at least for me. I constantly read magazines, forums, and sites all saying that people like me (millenial car guy)… Read more

This is just not prevalent in car advertising, this type of marketing is used to target all segments. During a NASCAR race the ads are targeted specifically to "typical" (White) race fans in the South and SE, it's true just watch a NAPA commercial. Even the McD's commercials are targeted to this group, but then the…
That was maybe him just poking at the Vette team for fun.
When was it, the 70's? When Olds, Pontiac, Chev, and Buick were all developing their own V8 and were one-upping each other. I don't think that's what is going on here.
Plus, at such limited numbers, even if they can run all over the Z51 optioned C7 with the… Read more

Fuck him, indeed. Expecially for making Huel Perkins read those texts on air.
