If you missed the awesome on the road engine build and swap in Finnegan’s Limo Squarebody truck, then you missed a lot and are going to want to use the link below. They literally built a brand new engine in the back seat of the truck and then made a stop and swapped it into the truck to replace the worn out big block that was under the hood. So here is the dyno session with the truck to show just how much power this beast makes. CLICK HERE IF YOU MISSED THE ON THE ROAD ENGINE BUILD Video Descr

Everyone loves a good Q&A session with their favorite car guys, and this one here is coming to you from Finnegan and Freiburger, who are road tripping the limo crew cab truck across the country with Stubby Bob in tow.

Video Description: Episode 389 is a banger and it’s part of an even cooler road trip video that’s coming soon to Finne

When Freiburger and I were doing Car Junkie TV and then freelance stuff at Hot Rod, he had a big 1967 Impala Convertible that we did minimal work to before wrapping it with flames and the driving the hell out of it. He loved that thing and drove it often, but always said he was going to replace it with something else big and fun someday. Well, now is the time apparently. Check out the video, the motivation, and the car he got! Video Description: I needed more garbage cars and more adventure,

When I first started working with David Freiburger it seemed like every few days I was finding out about another car, truck, or Jeep that he owned and had stored somewhere. I’d tell you some stories, but you probably wouldn’t believe me anyway. I don’t know how many cars David has owned over the years, but I can tell you that at any given time it has been dozens of cars. And he doesn’t live on some big piece of property with lots of space for a bunch of cars. Quite the opposite in fact. So chec

Last week we shared Freiburger’s video of him and Derek from Vice Grip Garage working on his stone stock Model A Ford. The goal was to get the thing to run and drive and then road trip it. Well, they were successful, or at least successful enough to hit the road, so in this video they are jumping in and heading out. Do you think they’ll make it all the way across the desert in this thing? And how many mechanical gremlins will rear their ugly head during the trip. If you missed the first video,

There are tons of historic spots around Southern California that impacted hot rodding, racing, and custom car building over the last 80 years or so, but no matter how many you can think of there are hundreds more. I was going to say dozens, but that just won’t cover it. Not by a lot. Having been fortunate enough to see many of them with David over the years, and having heard the history from so many during my time living there, I can tell you that they are nearly everywhere you look. Los Angeles

Freiburger and Derek are back at it, but this time it’s Derek who’s helping Freiburger, since Freiburger helped him with the Jeep Wagoneer project not long ago. These two are good together and it makes me laugh. So will they be able to make this really great deal turn into a really good running great deal? Let’s see if these two can save this Model A from being yard art. Video Description: In this episode, it’s Derek from Vice Grip Garage to the rescue as he helps me revive my bone stock 1929

(Slowest) King of the 'Ring The Nürburgring, as a race track, has transformed its reputation from being known simply as the Green Hell to being even more relevant in the modern context. Well, that's all thanks to hypercars and supercars – and lately, even Ford and Chevy have joined the fray. This 12.9 Mile race track has become the barometer by which all performance models are judged. Most brands like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, and the like have obsessed over claiming the crown for th

If it feels like the weather across the country is pulling in every direction at once today, that's because it essentially is. On Monday, March 30, the United States is dealing with a multi-front weather situation that includes a late-season winter storm, a critical fire weather outbreak, severe storm potential across the Gulf South, flash flooding concerns in the Great Lakes, and mountain snow from the Pacific Northwest into the Rockies. Here is a complete breakdown of everything happening toda

After announcing the move back in October, former McLaren Automotive chief Michael Leiters has today become CEO of Porsche AG, officially taking over from Oliver Blume at the very start of 2026. The move ends Blume’s dual role running both Porsche and Volkswagen Group and hands Stuttgart’s sports car brand to a leader with deep roots in performance, hybrids and SUVs.

From Smartphones to the Virtual Grid Five years back, Xiaomi was mostly known for budget smartphones and smart home gear. Now, the brand is setting Nürburgring lap times with the SU7 Ultra, and aiming for bigger numbers on the global stage. With the SU7 already in Gran Turismo 7, Xiaomi is taking things further. The brand just revealed the Vision Gran Turismo, its first hypercar concept built from the ground up for the Vision Gran Turismo series. Kazunori Yamauchi, the man behind Gran Turismo, i

‘Give a man a body kit, and he’ll look cool for a day. Give him a sheet of raw carbon fibre, and he’ll look cool for a lifetime.’ Masato Nitta lives by this philosophy, and he’s built a one-piece carbon front cowl for his EK9 Honda Civic Type R to prove it. Of course, while this […] The post From The Garage To The Loop: A Kanjo-Spec Civic Type R appeared first on Speedhunters. View the full article

Gas theft is back again, and it has gotten meaner. With gasoline prices at their highest in four years, thieves have moved on from siphoning off gas to making holes in fuel tanks on parked cars. The method is simple and especially brutal in its aftereffects. A thief needs only an electric drill or a punch in both plastic or metal gas tanks, a few minutes, and something to catch the fuel. The driver, meanwhile, is left with a ruined tank and a repair bill that can run up to $3,000 for a replaceme

More Than Just Horsepower A report from The Register states that Micron Technology CEO Sanjay Mehrotra predicted on a company earnings call that an SAE Level 4 automated driving system would require more than 300 GB of RAM. That level of capability would help ensure sensors, cameras, and lidar work together to enable near-fully autonomous driving within specific operating conditions. That is a huge amount of memory. Most videos shared online can be edited on a computer with as little as 16 GB of

Chances of EV Fires are Low, But Not Zero Statistically, EV fires are a rare occurrence compared to hybrid and ICE vehicle fires. Of course, they're reported more often than not, and understandably so. Nonetheless, it's hard to deny the stats, and there will always be the danger of a fire, regardless of propulsion. But what makes EV fires different is the battery's composition. Most use lithium-ion cells, which, when exposed to flames or damaged, explode. Putting out said fires is a different ch

Shaping Trends For the Future Where is car design heading? Answering that question is well above our pay grade, but the young designers of today will be the ones responsible for the cars of tomorrow. Hey, legendary stylists such as Giorgetto Giugiaro and Marcello Gandini were juniors once. Over in Japan, Daihatsu, Toyota's small-car specialist and maker of the great Copen, and the HAL College of Technology and Design had students drum up ideas for the future of the kei car, and some pretty crazy
