By John Coyle
Editor
Ramona credits this Ford Probe with saving her life, and as you’d expect, she’s taking wonderful care of it. And while the car isn’t completely done—as if projects like this ever are—we definitely think it’s Showoff material. Head over to Ramona’s page to get the full story on her awesome ride.

Showoff of the Week: Cody's '69 Camaro
By John Coyle
Editor
Nothing says bad-ass like a Camaro, and while this sweet first-gen is a universe away from what the General imagined, we think the folks there would approve. Cody says the motor is pushing a burly 800 horsepower, and the engine bay looks absolutely gorgeous. Congrats man, this is one bitchin’ Camaro!

Showoff of the Week: Philip's Chevy Impala
By John Coyle
Editor
Philip has only had this ’67 Impala for a little over a year, but he’s gotten a lot accomplished in that time. The body guys spent a solid four months going over the sheet metal, and while he says it’s not perfect, the lines look absolutely perfect in the shots he’s posted. How awesome does that Sunburst Orange look? Head over to his ride page to check out what else Philip has done to this sweet bow-tie.

Showoff of the Week: Mon's Ford Escort
By John Coyle
Editor
Mon’s little Escort was in pretty bad shape when he rescued it from the original owner’s garage eight years ago. The biggest problem? Rust. The parts that weren’t missing—of which there were many—were corroded as hell, and reconstructing the body took five sheets of 8′x4′ sheet metal to complete! But after three years of hard work, this baby is a real looker. Head over to his page and check out this killer machine!

Showoff of the Week: Chris' Ford Mustang
By John Coyle
Editor
Tomorrow morning, I’m going to hop a plane to Colorado Springs to cover the famous Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, and I’m super stoked. The stats on this race are insane: 11 different classes, 12.42 miles of pavement and gravel, 156 turns, and an elevation change of almost 5000 feet. Everything from motorcycles to big rigs—yup, big rigs—competes in this event, and teams come from all over the world to challenge "America’s Mountain." The current course record of 10:01 was set last year by Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima in a hyper-modified Suzuki XL7, and the big question is whether anyone will break the ten minute mark during Sunday’s race. Of course, the previous record of 10.04 stood for an impressive 13 years, so there’s no guarantee that anyone is going to take the title away from ‘Monster’ anytime soon. And while the competition is sure to be awesome, since the race is held on National Forrest Service property, the scenery will be amazing. Just check out the gorgeous photo below! Stay tuned, I’ll start posting updates just as soon as I can.

Showoff of the Week: Samantha's G35
By John Coyle
Editor
Samantha has made a laundry list of mods to her G35, and it came out looking super-clean. These babies are good-looking straight out of the box, but I think the Greddy bumper and side skirts make it look even hotter. Of course, not all of the work Samantha has done is cosmetic. She’s added a twin-turbo setup and is planning on taking the car in for tuning soon. Head over to her page and get all the details on this wicked rude!

Showoff of the Week: Justin's Camaro
By John Coyle
Editor
When he first picked it up, Justin just planned to keep this sweet F-body on the road, but as you can see, he’s done quite a bit more than that. And while the candy paint and body work might have taken five months to complete, it looks like it was worth the wait. Congrats Justin!

Showoff of the Week: Ben and Amy's Exige!
By John Coyle
Editor
First off, I know that this supercharged track toy is still basically stock. But even though it hasn’t been modded to the gills, it was still voted up on the Showoff nomination list, and you have to admire how clean and informative Ben and Amy’s page is. Did you know that the aluminum chassis only weighs 150 pounds? No wonder these babies are so light! Congrats y’all, and keep having a blast with your Lotus!

Showoff of the Week: Sonia’s Nissan 300ZX
By John Coyle
Editor
Nissan’s 300ZX is a modern classic, and Sonia has done a killer job with this one. From the custom paint, to the bodykit, to the engine bay, it looks wicked! And with the upgraded turbos, this baby has got to go like hell. Congrats!

By John Coyle
Editor
When life throws something at you, the best policy is to just driveover it. And there aren’t too many vehicles better suited for that kind of action than Don’s Excursion. Head over to his page and check out all the insane work he’s done!
