Today’s pic is from Faisal’s Ferrari 308 ride page. I’ll sure you’ll see a pic from his DeLorean ride page here soon, too.

Here’s a video of my favorite Ferrari causing havoc in all the right places, the Autobahn, local streets, and tunnels. Its exhaust is sweet music to our ears.

This cool little time-lapse video was shot by Jonathan Bohren:

After finishing up 6 months of work in California before grad school, my dad met up with me for company on my drive back home to New York.

I mounted my Rebel XS to the center rear headrest and hooked it up to my laptop, which triggered a single capture roughly every 30 seconds. This is a time-lapse video composed from those pictures.

We spent five days and drove 3054 miles, from California, through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and finally to New York.

Gus’s ride page is heavy on pics but short on text, so it’s not always easy to deduce the thought process behind his purposeful development of the patina on his 5-Series. The car has gone through various stages of the rusty hood trend, accent shiny body panels, primer, and stickers. But at some point, perhaps with those pics of various rusty buildings, corrugated metal, sunbaked mud, and deteriorated brick as his inspiration, Gus decided to go for broke, scour off all the paint, and let the cancer shine in. Interesting, kind of the same way it’s interesting to put a sandwich in a bag in the back of the fridge just to see how deteriorated it will become. The odd thing is, there’s pics of the BMW on page 2 that do not appear to be from too long ago, in black paint that really looked quite nice and shiny. Maybe it was one of those instances where there was some little nick or flaw somewhere, he started picking, and then just didn’t stop. See the whole sequence on his ride page.

When we brought you news last week of the Miner family’s two stolen cars, the response was nearly overwhelming, with much of the country going on immediate lookout for the 1966 Corvette convertible and 1969 Camaro SS clone. As it turns out, the two Chevrolets didn’t get very far before both were recovered and returned to Erik Miner’s father, but we imagine it was the readiness of the Hemmings Nation army to see the cars home safe and sound that kept the thieves from parting the cars out or shipping them overseas. From the owner’s email:

“While we don’t have many details at this time, the Corvette was located at a remote location in the woods with the only access through a farm gate and through a hay field.

Ken has not been able to inspect the Corvette in detail, as the police have not processed the car.  On first impression there appears to be limited damage. The Camaro is another story…”

This “epic battle of the slow cars,” featuring my friend Walter’s Escort and his buddy’s 4-door Nova, is described as a couple of pals just settling a friendly bet at the strip. At 11 seconds flat and 11.5 respectively (ahem, that’s in the eighth) they didn’t do so terrible for an 80′s 4-banger and a smog-o-matic 305. Take a watch, it’s very soothing.

My 1992 Dakota was in need of some serious exhaust work this past year. After 206,000 miles, the clamps had worn the pipe down to nothing. So this summer, I decided to replace the exhaust, but I also wanted to give it a bit of an upgrade.

I first started hearing about the new Flowmaster-knockoff Thrush Welded Mufflers about a year ago and was impressed by the price. After listening to a couple trucks on YouTube, I decided to try one for my truck. My local parts store charged me about $40 for part number: 17649. This is for a 3″ muffler, center inlet, offset outlet (in case you want to upgrade your Dakota too). See the full product review below the jump.
