Well, i decided to blog about cars! Considering it is one of my highest passions in life and there is nothing more that i love like building/restoring up a car and starting it for the first time! I'm sure allot of you guys can agree with that!

There is so much to talk about here, from the aftermarket world to new car reviews!

I'm going to touch on muscle cars mostly in this blog because i love them although i come from wrenching on Japanese cars i transferred over to American muscle because they are just so beautiful and nostalgic.

Some of my favorites are-
69 camaro's- this car is by far my favorite muscle of all time
70 chevelle's
Hemi coda's
dodge charger's
Chevy nova's
Ford mustang fastback's-(67)

These cars ruled the streets and drag strips during the 60's-70's and till this day many people are still building/restoring them!
I remember doing some reading a Little while back about the trans am racing series in the 60's and how the fords were dominating on the tracks and nobody could touch them, until Chevrolet came out with the camaro in 1967... well then everything changed, from 67-69 Comoros were just pushing the fords off the track and flat out killing all the competitor's!

Penske Racing was the Chevrolet factory team in the Trans Am series from 1967 to 1969, winning the championship with driver Mark Donohue in ’68 and ’69. This car is Mark’s ’69 championship car and the last Camaro raced by Team Penske. The team switched to the AMC Javelin for the 1970 season. This car is the ultimate Penske Camaro incorporating all the lessons learned from the previous two seasons. It was also THE BEST Trans Am car in 1969 dominating the second half of the season winning 6 of the last 7 races. Over the 12 race series Donohue won six times and finished second twice.


Anyways, muscle cars have allot of history an till this day people thrive to restore and build them! and i can respect that.


So Theres a Little history on Chevy's racing back in the late 60's!







In the Japanese market their "hot rods" are know as THE Nissan skyline! which I'm sure allot of you folks love! These cars are so desired to have some Americans even illegally import them into the states just to own them! Finally the skyline came to America in 2010 and everybody was surprised and excited to see them driving around the streets of America! the mode R35 GTR is a very gorgeous machine with allot of technology and performance! I just with i could afford one my self!





Well i could go on and on car by car for ever but i think im going to end it here with alittle knowledge of the domestic and japanese market!
