Dodge Challenger With Underglow Kit Runs From Arkansas Police

We don’t see many underglow kits these days even though thanks to LED lighting technology they’re easier to install and are more durable than those kits of yesteryear. Then we ran across this video of a Dodge Challenger with a purple underglow kit turned on leading Arkansas troopers on a chase that punches past 150 mph, it’s just amazing. Stop driving all the time with your fog lights on. You see the Challenger trailing another car it’s “racing” on the interstate in Little Rock, Arkansas. They b

Dodge Demon And C7 Z06 Corvette Throw Down In No-Prep Drag Race

The Mopar vs Chevy debate has been going on for longer than most of us have been alive. For a rivalry that predates WWII, it’s epic and probably will never end. That helps load in plenty of emotion for this drag racing faceoff between a Dodge Challenger Demon and a C7 Corvette Z06. Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan loves his Hellcat. This promises to be an interesting matchup. After all, the Demon was built from the factory for drag racing, while the Z06 is a little more versatile but still more than ca

Famous Tank Rampages

Despite what many think, it is possible to legally own a tank in the United States and other countries, although keeping functioning weaponry on the vehicle is another matter. Even without a functioning main gun or any other weapons, a rolling tank is in its own way a formidable weapon many police departments are ill-equipped to handle. But police incidents involving citizens operating a tank in cities are incredibly rare and almost always involve a stolen vehicle. See how the most famous tank r

How Well Do You Know The Supernatural 1967 Chevy Impala?

Few television cars are as iconic as Dean Winchester’s 1967 Chevrolet Impala lovingly known as “Baby.” Along with Sam, the Chevy and Dean are the true main characters of the Supernatural TV series. Passed down by the brother’s father, it creates a bridge to the past and provides one consistency as they drift throughout the country waging a never-ending war on evil. It’s claimed that only nine cars were used during the filming of Supernatural. We’re skeptical about that considering how long the s

Biker Running From Cops Needs Riding Lessons

It’s always amazing seeing guys on fairly high-powered sport bikes who don’t have very polished riding skills. It’s like someone decided they were too cool to learn on something more mundane and less powerful, likely skipping riding lessons from a real instructor altogether. While that’s cringe enough, it’s even worse when one of these fools decides they’re going to run from the cops using their craptacular skills in the saddle. Check out a wild Hayabusa snow bike here. Not shockingly, this is y

The time is nigh for the great Toyota engine swap. Undoubtedly one of the largest and most expensive recalls in the automaker’s history, Toyota dealerships are heading into December as prepared and as anxious as they can be. In May, Toyota announced a recall of its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6.
