Chip Foose was known among hot rodders even before his last name became a brand for all kinds of auto parts. Before participating in various TV shows, Chip made a name for himself back in…
I think everyone has heard of films based on books or based on historical events, or, I don't know, on folk folklore. Has anyone ever seen movies based on songs? To be honest, I can't…

The Lincoln-Zephyr is not the only twelve-cylinder engine that is popular with custom builders. Many cats, especially those working in the t-bucket style, like to use V12 from... Jaguar! The fact is that at one…
On a day like this, there's nothing better than a toast to Cuba. And few things could be better than one of the most classic cocktails in the world, which was invented in Cuba in…

Hot Rod Lincoln is an extremely inspiring song. It may well be one of the reasons that Lincoln-Zephyr 12-cylinder engines are very popular among hot rodders, despite all the problems that accompany them. Of course,…
Hey, hello again, John Lennon album. No, I won't write about you again today. Maybe in a week? And today I'd rather write about a great vinyl record by the British band Wild Angels from…
Rolling Thunder (or Thundering Thunder), Rolling Thunder (1977) is a very strong film, dynamic and looks in one breath, despite the fact that it was shot quite a long time ago. As in the films…
This is the content that I really want to see on this site! Reviews of vinyl records, with music that no one had posted on the Internet before! This is the kind of website I…
I prefer not to watch biographical films about Elvis. For many reasons, but the most important of them is that the life of such a famous person as Presley, willy-nilly, becomes shrouded in all sorts…
Zlata Lvovna is a 24-year-old model and makeup artist from Moscow. Her photo is the best cosplay of the comic book heroine Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad, which can only be found online. Zlata is…

The V8 is definitely an incredible engine, but I've always been in awe of the V16. Because the V16 in my head is directly associated with a car brand like Cadillac. Yes, modern realities have…
Inga Lis is a red-haired, green-eyed model from Moscow, she is 21 years old. A very beautiful girl with perfect curves and expressive eyes. It looks great. Photographers dream of working with her, and her…
Stephen King is overrated. Damn, a little more - and it will become my watch phrase. But seriously, King does not take quality at all, but quantity. A kind of Daria Dontsova from the horror…

The Guest (2013) is a film that combines a killer electronic soundtrack and a good plot, but the decision of the creators in this very plot not to tell the story of the main antihero…
Russian translation of the subtitles for another film is called Hot Rods To Hell, and in Russian it is known (to anyone at all) under the name 52 Miles of Fear. The year is 1966.…
"Who wouldn't want to jump into a bubble top Rota and burn rubber on it until the smoke billows?" - that's about what Aaron Grote once said. There's just one problem: most of Daddy Roth's…
I think it's time to consider, well, just the most immortal and masculine classic from the world of alcohol - the Old Fashioned cocktail. My recipe is as follows: Read More
So, comrades, I am bringing into the light of our flashlight a film called Wild at Heart of 1990. This is an extremely unusually filmed drama with admixtures of a thriller and a road movie.…
Kid Rock's album "Sweet Southern Sugar" is an eclectic mix of southern rock, blues and hip hop with a pinch of electronica. It comes out very naturally in Kid Rock, although it might sound pretentious…
Another extremely monstrous creation from the world of cars, about which almost nothing is known, is this bike, powered by the legendary Hemi. Who built it? Everyone is silent. Speed, acceleration? Nothing is known. All…
And this time we're going to tell you about a low-grade action movie called Blood Guts Bullets and Octane (Blood Guts Bullets & Octane). The film is somewhat tedious and definitely delayed, and, in general,…
I suggest a cold drink with a low alcohol content. One of the countless galaxy of simple and cheap cocktails with cola in the composition. Read More
I'm increasingly noticing that the best cocktail recipes were invented in the first half of the last century. Alcohol culture, despite the harsh laws on one side of the planet and communism on the other,…
This time the focus is on a wonderful classic film - the Thunder Road of 1958. A cult black-and-white classic in the USA and something distant and unknown in our country. In America, Thunder Road…
I present to you the movie Grand Theft Parsons. Despite the disgusting translation of the title (the Grand Theft Parsons, according to the Film Search), I liked the translation of the film itself. Two-voice voice…
If you were a car kid when you were a kid, then there's every chance that you had little toy cars from Hot Wheels. It is quite possible that they possessed a branded, inimitable crazy…
I have one film that I personally could not understand - the Fighting Fish of 1983. From Francis Ford Coppola, the director of the Godfather, by the way. The synopsis says that this is 'a…
Among other achievements of mankind, it should be noted that people have proved that the V8 can be crammed into a motorcycle. Even a V10 can be crammed into a motorcycle. And even a V12…
Here's another beautiful ship for you, built in the PTeazer workshop, which specializes in - you'd never guess - PT Cruisers. There are many interesting projects in their portfolio. For example, a PT Cruiser with…

Perhaps the most famous among the first films about bikers and motorcycles can be called the iconic film Wild One (The Wild One) of 1953. The plot of the film is based on a short…
So, I ask you to turn your attention to a project by Ronnie Gross from Denmark called Groozer. Like everything else related to PT Cruiser, Groozer is polarizing: for some, it seems that it makes…
I'm offering you something that I can't remember where I came across. But it's delicious, it's called Indian Summer, and it's actually a very good summer long. It's just a pity that our summer has…
I present you something that will knock you off your feet quickly and exquisitely: Long Island Iced Tea (does not translate). There is only one disadvantage in it: to make it, you need to collect…

By the year 2000, the Chrysler Pronto Cruiser was shoveled over, and the PT Cruiser as we know it turned out. The car started very successfully, people were standing in line waiting for their cars.…
A fresh cocktail. It's called Jack O' Fire. Sweet again, because I love sweet things. So listen up, comrades! Read More
Chrysler is an extremely specific corporation. They've been on the verge of bankruptcy many times, mostly because of their questionable experiments, but they still stubbornly continue to step on the same rake. They go into…
The author's cinema is on the agenda. Director, screenwriter, producer, actor, priest, reaper, on the doodler and (probably) just a good man - Evan Glodell. He managed to make an awesome story for 17 thousand…
Let me offer you a cocktail that doesn't have a name, because it's a de facto deviation from the thing called a Revolver, which I made on my own. The original Revolver uses regular bourbon…
Let's quickly mix up one classic Daiquiri cocktail. There are a lot of variations here, but I prefer to use the official IBA proportions.: Read More

There's a formula that's been around for over fifty years: take a big engine and cram it into a small car. It even worked with Lexus. Yes, yes, I said Lexus. But Chip Fuz himself…
I suggest something simple and fast, called Black Shooter. Read More
The movie Drive (2011), perhaps, is somewhat out of our subject. Everyone knows that this movie is exceptionally good, it's full of neon and electronic music. It was Drive that gave us Hotline Miami the…
Do you know why I love bubble tops so much? Because it's not just a ghost of the era of space and rocket technology, no, it's a look and a desire. A desire for the…
For fans of White Russian, there is another cocktail with cream, which in total turns out to be about the same in cost, but in terms of taste it turns out to be a pleasant…
Several films have been made about Hank Williams until recently, including Your Cheatin' Heart (1964) and Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave (1980). Was a new biopic really needed? I think biopic films of…
