Walker, Texas Drifter
Antonio Alvendia
The drifter archetype has changed. Today in America, drifting has become the life, in part or whole, to many different people from all walks of life. When I met Russell Walker for the first time and learned he piloted this ready to rock machine, I wasn’t too surprised. However, meeting him outside of a drifting event, you probably wouldn’t suspect that he’s a newly licensed Formula D driver.
In high school, where most young men start to entertain their desires, he started to cultivate an interest in the automotive world. He grew up in Texas, so of course he had a truck at first… but that didn’t stop him from causing mayhem. Running over curbs, signs and getting sideways in the rain was a common occurrence for Russell and his truck. However, as far away as Japan is from Texas, the drifting bug still bit him. He picked up this Nissan S13 240sx for $500 at the age of 17 and never looked back. It’s his first actual car, and I’d say it’s come quite a way from being the white hatch with black Silvia front end that it was a few years ago. Continue reading and view more photos on MotorMavens!

J Mays: The Good Stuff is Coming!
Atomicalex
“Oh, it’s you two! I love you guys! Let’s talk about cars!” J Mays broke away to greet Rob and I as we worked our way through the Ford stand at NAIAS. And Rob and I love J Mays, Global Executive Vice President for Design at Ford. We sat down for a few minutes with Mays to chat yellow Mustangs, the future of the hatchback (that’s five-door to you!), the lack of Ranger, and what to expect for a Crown Vic replacement. Details after the jump!
Pro Street 1970 Challenger
By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
Every once in a while we run across a car we know you would love to see, but that we can’t shoot a full feature on due to time or circumstance. Our neighbor, George, has some cool toys, including a clean four-speed 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner, several cool trucks, and a really bitchin’ big rig. But one of our favorites is his bad black pro street 1970 Challenger. Last week we saw the Challenger parked in his driveway waiting for its prospective new owner to come check it out. We took the limited time to shoot a few photos and bring you this “mini-feature”. Check out all 19 photos here.
George’s ‘70 Challenger features all the required elements of any good pro street car, wrapped in a beautiful black package. Stock handles and bumpers leave no one guessing what it is, and keep the look classic. On the inside a mostly stock black interior is accented with race buckets, vinyl covered tin work, and an assortment of Auto Meter gauges. Continue reading at BangShift.com
Hemmings Find of the Day – Neil Young’s 1948 Packard
By Dan Strohl
Hemmings
Didn’t recognize the name of Emmett Kelly, the clown who owned yesterday’s 1972 Citroën? Me neither. More likely, you’ll recognize the name of the man who purportedly once owned this 1948 Packard woody station wagon: Neil Young. He must’ve sold it before he go all bio-diesely. Offered for $49,500 out of Astoria, New York. The seller doesn’t give us much more info, but plenty of photos. See the rest at Hemmings
Naked 2011 Mustang
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
While Linhbergh was in Charlotte shooting the Mustang RTR and RTR-C last week, we stopped by Autosport Dynamics where we were able to check out the shell of my new competition car. The Falken Tire 2011 Ford Mustang chassis had just arrived from paint. Here is a picture of me getting acquainted with my new car for the first time. Something is so cool to me about seeing a freshly painted bare chassis. Anyone agree?
