We’re shooting a little series on car care for Quaker State, and dropped by NorthWest Auto Salon to learn how to wash a car. I think most of you guys could probably learn a thing or two from Blake. I know I did. Oh, and sweet Caddy, huh?

Car Wash!

Rapping about a Mazda is going to get you noticed, simple. “Mazda G” from South Tacoma Mazda lays down some dope lyrics about the fly Mazda 3. The next time you buy a car, ask the salesman to freestyle about the car’s options–that will throw them for a loop. Read more about the mad Mazda rapper at Tampa Sports Car Examiner yo!

I really like the Deathmobile and, of course, the Boxer. Check out the pics from the June 19 Irvine Cars and Coffee here.

For a third year Super Chevy Magazine has enlisted Route 66 Motorsports, a custom auto restoration shop out of Chicago, and have teamed up with the Armed Forces Foundation (AFF) to build the third Project American Heroes car, a fully restored and highly modified 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle.

Super Chevy’s Project American Heroes brings this timeless classic to the auction block to raise money for AFF programs nationwide. This year’s car will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Orange County, CA, the first at this location, on June 26th. Check out the photos and specs of this amazing muscle car.

Saturday at the 2010 Holley National Hot Rod Reunion was filled with tons of flat out bitchin’ nostalgia drag racing, and the record crowds braved the heat and humidity all day to make sure they didn’t miss a minute of the action. The pinnacle of the entire day, no the entire weekend, was Saturday night’s CackleFest which featured some of the most influential cars and drivers in Drag Racing history running 98% loads of nitro, and we’ve got the video to prove it. Watch it all the way through because there’s an actual header on fire at one point, and we talk to Don Garlits and it’s priceless. Check it out below.

A big luxury sedan is probably the last place you’d expect to find a set of forged Nismo wheels, but you can’t argue with the results. This Y34 Gloria (AKA Infiniti M45) was built by a shop in Kumamoto-ken known as Motor House East.

During the race this weekend, I ran across a small collection of what looked like battle-scarred moonshine-runners on display in the infield. But wait–these cars belong to the members of vintage racing association NorCal Vintage Hartops, and are built for real competition with a distinctly Californian style. Stock car racing on the West Coast co-evolved alongside the Southern branch of the sport, but came out of a different set of historical circumstances–it was a culture built by returning WWII veterans eager for race cars to tinker on, and overlapped a great deal with the California hot rod scene. In any case, Conrad Cavallero, who was manning the display at Infineon, is dedicated to keeping that history alive–and the cars on the track. The examples he had on hand were mostly running sbc’s, some punched out to 358, though one was powered by a Ford straight six. There were even a couple of later-model tribute cars and a random antique tractor or two in the mix. Hit the jump to see more!
