Yesterday at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the North American auto show season kicked off as the LA Auto Show opened its doors for media days. The overall mood at the show is one of subdued optimism, with the auto market finally showing signs of recovery after a disastrous period of bankruptcies and losses. While some automakers like Nissan decided
I've hardly finished unpacking from my last Speedhunting trip, and already it's time to hop on a plane and head to Seattle for this weekend's Formula Drift event. Before I move on to cars sliding around on pavement though, I have a few more photos to share of cars sliding around off the pavement at the X Games last weekend. Ah yes, the X
Sunday was the final day of the X Games 15 in Los Angeles and for gearheads like us, the schedule saved the best for last.

I guess after reading Rod's WRC Italy post, I also got into that rally state of mind. These photos come from Flickr member SIDC Spooks and were taken at this weekend's Jim Clark rally in Scotland. High powered rally cars sliding around the beautiful Scottish countryside sure does make for some very dramatic scenes. Of course the fantastic photography
As we wrap up our coverage of the 2008 Tokyo Special Import Car Show, I wanted to show just a little more of the craziness that went down at the Makuhari Messe this weekend during the event. Like I have probably mentioned before, I really admire the Japanese attention to authenticity when it comes to car building. From what I have seen, Japanese people
