Manual vs Automatic Transmissions
An often debated topic in the automotive world, and one that I have a clear stand on: drive an automatic if that’s what your into, drive a manual if that’s what you’re into and that’s that. But, for those of us who love the control and intimacy that you get with a manual gear box (not sequential, dual clutch, paddle shifter bullshit but a real manually shifted transmission with a clutch, shift linkage and an actual shifter/shift knob), it seems that our days are numbered 😦 and thats a damn shame as no other transmission set up (imo) can provide the engagement that three pedals and a shifter can.

How Headers Work
Definitely an interesting video. I actually didn’t know how exactly headers worked but I did know there was some science to their shape, besides just looking beautiful.
Fun Times in Japan
Some Australians take a trip to Hokkaido and do a bunch of seemingly random stuff. Hot cars scattered throughout which is what kept me going, it’s a pretty long video lol. Basically, I’m in love with Japanese car culture.
A little spoiler to the end of the vid, “It doesn’t really matter what kind of car you’ve got because ultimately, its all about the people you meet along the road.” I agree, and that can definitely be generalized to many other hobbies out there, thats part of what makes them fun sometimes.
On a more serious note, I’m keeping Japan in my prayers. I can’t even begin to imagine what thousands of Japanese families must be going through right now.
Touge Drift
Another cool vid from drag times. Love the S15.
History and Comparison between NSX-R and F430
Definitely learned something new as well as gained newfound respect for Ferrari. Let’s not forget that it’s also sick to just see Tsuchiya-san blast through the touge in a NSX-R and a Ferrari. Something about those paddle shifters ticks me off though lmao, I want more control!
M3 with a V10 from an M5?
Yes please!
Drifting in Moscow
This is a pretty cool video in my opinion, just saw it on canibeat. It’s filmed on public roads and while I don’t condone illegal street racing, I must admit it’s pretty cool and these guys definitely looked like they knew what they were doing.
Integra Type R and Civic Type R
Definitely a beautiful pair of cars, just read the feature over at Honda Tuning Magazine.

Random Automotive Photography
They all look so good, makes me want to hop in my car and drive a little.
I don’t know how I got all caught up in cars, must be a guy thing, we all dream about it starting right around puberty lmao.
Edit: I guess the pictures I linked to didn’t last long, whoopsies! At least theres still the beautiful R34 🙂
Nissan R35 GTR
Speaking of skylines, I took a walk around Penn’s campus and I found this one laying around lol, not a common sight so I snapped some pics up.

Looks like a lot of fun. I wonder how many tires they go through in a day.
