Most people have seen tandem (two-seater) bikes, penny farthing (old-timey) bikes, and even tall bikes (exactly what they sound like), but these crazy bike mods make those tried-and-true models look downright boring. 1 The Dino Trike Who wants to wrangle a dinosaur without having to head to Jurassic Park? Check out this awesome T-Rex trike that was recently for sale on Craigslist. The rider can even make the old bag of bones open her mouth and turn her head.   ( Source ) 2 Bison Bike Whether you love the bison of the American West, or you just miss the shag carpeting of the '70s, we're pretty sure you'll love this bison bike spotted in Copenhagen. I sure hope they keep it out of the rain, or it might just start smelling like a real bison. ( Source ) 3  Camper Bike Plenty of people bike through the wilderness and camp out in tents. However, full-size camping trailers have been reserved for those using automobiles. Artist Kevin Cyr's camper bike finally gives cyclists the...

When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders. 1.

The SRT Barracuda is set to become either the Dodge Challenger’s replacement or its new stable mate depending on which reports you listen to, but either way the car is set to be exciting. It’ll be going up against its muscle car rivals, the Ford Mustang, and the Chevrolet Camaro. The design of the SRT Barracuda is unknown, and the above concept is only a very rough rendering pieced together from rumors. The styling may go in the retro direction and come out looking like a smaller DodgeChallenger rather than this new design. Platform The platform of the SRT Barracuda is unknown, but reports say that it could either be a shortened version of theDodge Challenger’s platform, or a new small rear-wheel drive platform that will also be used on future Afla Romeos. Suspension The suspension is mostly likely going to change, the control arms in the front may switch to a strut setup while the rear suspension will mostly likely stay multi-link with altered geometry. All in all the improvements wil...

This spectacular Mustang, the “Bad Apple,” is fresh out of a painstaking, cost-no-object Pro-Touring build with over 2,400 man hours invested in the custom bodywork and outrageous PPG Money Green pearl paint alone. It is comprehensively upgraded and customized, turning the car into a jaw-dropping showpiece. It is powered by an all-aluminum, officially licensed Carroll Shelby 427 FE big block, pro-built by Jim Green’s Performance Center, built to 452cid. It is backed by a Tremec TKO-600 5-speed manual transmission driving an Eaton 9” rear end with 3.73 limited-slip. The chassis is fully framed and welded and features a custom Jim Meyer control arm front suspension and Morrison 4-bar rear, plus coilover shocks, 9” Wilwood brakes and bespoke 18” Rushford modular alloy wheels at all four corners.

The GT500 was basically a factory-authorized tuner Mustang created by Carroll Shelby. Introduced in 1967, the GT500 joined the GT350 on showroom floors and offered a 428-cubic-inch Police Interceptor engine with a conservatively rated 355 horsepower. Despite the larger engine, it was actually designed to be a more usable road-going vehicle than the lighter, race-ready GT350. Because of this, and its negligible premium over the GT350, the GT500 was an instant hit, just as it remains to this day.

Working on a car or something else with your son or daughter is a powerful way of boosting your relationship, since you spend your time bonding. During the working process you can learn few life lessons like determination when working on something and hard work. That was the case with George Riese and Dennis, his son who were working together on this project you can see right here. Back in 2001, George heard of a ’69 Mustang that was on sale and since it was nearby in the neighborhood he and his son went to take a close look at the vehicle. The car was in terrible condition but either way they decided to buy it knowing that it would take a lot of work to make it ready to hit the road. And just like that Dennis got his first chance to work on a car. Dennis, unlike his father didn’t have that much time to devote on the car’s restoration cause he was caught up between work, school and the restoration. So, the most of the work was left to George. As he was progressing, he replaced the wre...

The “Bullitt” Mustang you see here was built by Gateway Classics for Chad McQueen (Steve McQueen’s son) in 2011, it was designed as a modern interpretation of the classic 1968 fastback used in the iconic film from the same year. The project began as an idea for the TV series “Celebrity Rides”, the producer wanted to create a car that was as visually authentic as possible but with modern updates to the powertrain and suspension. This wasn’t quite as easy as it sounds due to the fact that the Mustang used in Bullitt had been modified significantly from stock, so stills from the film were used as guides during the build process. All in, the build lasted 4 months. A brand new shell from Dynacorn was used as it provided better quality steel than the original with improved shock tower braces and door hinges. The body was painted in the same DuPont/Axalta Hot Hues’ Highland Green as the film car and a set of sixteen-inch American Racing wheels were bolted into place, completing the car’s exte...

Ford is thinking about adding a mid-range track car to their Boss 302S and 302R lineup. They quietly debuted a concept called the 302SX at the recent Performance Racing Industry trade show in Orlando, FL. Don’t let their modest unveiling fool you, this car is something to talk about. It borrows aspects of the new Cobra Jet drag car and the Boss 302R race car. With that step comes a jump from the standard 444 horsepower to more than 500 out of a built 5.0-liter V8. It also means a slew of improved parts like the six-speed transmission out of the 302R.  Upgraded exhaust,oil and fuel systems offer the engine help while a fully adjustable coilover suspension, adjustable front and rear sway bars, camber/caster plates, Brembo brakes and racing slicks deliver track-gripping performance. The interior is also trimmed back including lightweight seats, and a quick release steering wheel. Proving that this is a serious track machine, as if that isn’t enough, Ford is also tossing in a system to...

  You might want to think twice about buying a new muscle car from Dodge, Chevrolet or Ford this year. Consumer Reports released its latest reliability survey last week and with the exception of a few surprises it was more of the same. Japanese automakers performed the best while the Detroit Three took a bit of a tumble. Among other findings the sporty-car segment is one area of interest on this year’s survey. According to the consumer-focused magazine this is an especially volatile vehicle segment when it comes to quality. Supporting this claim are the latest scores. Last year 13 of 16 sporty cars had at least average reliability or better. This year only 11 out of 21 made the grade, quite a back-slide. Consumer Reports said “American muscle cars are having an off year.” That segment includes, of course, the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang. Against the odds Nissan’s 370Z topped the quality chart. Making this feat all the more impressive is that last year the tw...

They were just good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm, but for seven years, the Duke boys of Hazzard County made a weekly jump into the living rooms of millions of television viewers as they piloted a seemingly indestructible Dodge Charger affectionately called the General Lee. During the run of this highly successful television series, it is estimated that as many as 320 (perhaps even more) 1968 to 1970 Chargers were catapulted across rivers, over police cars, through construction sites or anywhere else one could imagine a car flying in the air, only to succumb to the rather hard landings. One rumor was that towards the end of production, the supply of fresh General Lees had dried out and people who owned even the most derelict examples were able to raise the asking price, as the production company was desperately in need of cars. There were survivors, however – the lucky few cars saved from the rigors of being chased by the dimwitted Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, who himself was being egg...

From time to time, a truck is built that comes together so perfectly that it is almost a piece of art rather than a form of transportation. Like a Hollywood starlet, these trucks cause jaws to drop, hearts to race, and palms to sweat. Scott Anderson of Denver, Colorado, wanted a truck that made people stop in their tracks and he knew the exact shop to do the work. Cope Design, also in Denver, took Scott’s 1951 Chevy pickup and transformed it into a rolling masterpiece. The first step in the build process was to scrap the factory frame. To replace this, a call was made to Roadster Shop and a full frame was ordered. The frame came with a Corvette C6 front clip and the guys at Cope added a set of Wilwood six-piston disc brakes to it. In the rear, a four-link with a Panhard bar offers a great ride, while another set of Wilwoods provide the stopping power. Enveloping the massive Wilwood brakes is an equally impressive set of Raceline Explosion 22×8½ and 22×12-inch wheels. Since the beautifu...
