Well, hello again to all those who have been e-mailing me and wondering where CarBull has gone. Just kidding. By no popular demand at all I have found my way back to my beloved blog and am here to grace the Internet with the pearls of wisdom that just spill forth from my brain like so much baby poo on the kitchen floor.There has been a lot that went down since the last time that I talked to the

Do you remember the '70s and '80s? Well I definitely do not remember the 70s, but I do remember the '80s...barely (D.O.B. 1986). They were a tough time the car companies. Let me clarify that statement by saying that those decades were a terrible time period for car companies in America. Foreign car companies were already consistently making garbage. All the companies in the United States

In case you have not taken my hints and not gone to StreetFire.net yet then here is your chance to sample some of the best. I spend at least a couple minutes each day on this site looking and the videos dedicated to cars. Here is what I have found to be the creme' de la creme'.Will Roegge produces some awesome drift and car videos and they look fantastic. Check out his Red Bull World Finals

All one needs to do is look at Ford's upcoming lineup for the 2010 model year and the cutting of Detroit's headstone pauses. If school ending wasn't a good enough reason to be excited about this summer then the release of the first encarneation of Ford's F-150 SVT Raptor should get you revved up a little. The new Fusion, Taurus, Transit Van, Focus and Fiesta are all either coming or coming back.

It's almost summer time and I'm about to get all hot and bothered. We're talking whore in church kinda hot here. Now I'm in college and I do have a lot more free time to not be in school and drive than I would if I was in high-screwel. What I don't have is enough time to work and make money so that I can fuel my addiction.Formula D has kicked off, summer movies are coming out and it's travel time

I use the words "Car Guy" a whole lot. I've made it clear what that means and I think that even if you don't agree with me on the specific definition then you do have some idea of what I mean.I love cars and I love TV. Putting cars on a screen, any screen, and presenting them in a cool way just gets my motor revving. Pun intended. The problem is that Car Guys on TV suck. The programming is

Everyone's a critic. All you have to do to realize this is peruse the car websites and the youtube accounts of devoted car fans. This may come as a shock but even I am critical of some cars, owners, trends, etc. I try not to be as belligerent as some of the D-Bags on the web, or television, for that matter, but sometimes the moment calls for a little, "call it like I see it."There's five kinds of

So you want to be a drifter, NASCAR driver, rally driver, car builder or car designer? Well, good. Me to.You'd think that a blog with a title like, "How to break in to the car world," would be very lengthy with a bunch of details of how to do things. Wrong. You might also think that it would come from an authority on the subject, like someone who actually has a job in the car world, not just

I saw the latest chapter in the Fast & Furious franchise this past Friday. I would have seen it earlier, but my local theatre was not doing midnight showings on Thursday night (Grrr). In my humble opinion this flick was probably more anticipated, albeit silently more so, than Watchmen. Banners for the movie were all over YouTube.com and Streetfire.net. Even though I would have liked to see this

Top Gear said, in their quest to find the best driving road in that world, that the best in the world was the Stelvio Pass in Italy.I contend that the best driving world can be found on each and every continent. If you find yourself on a twisty mountaing road or even a straight highway at midnight that can be the best driving road in the world. It all comes together when that 12 year old part of

Enough is enough. I've seen every fast car in the world go around the Nordschleife, or Nürburgring (Ring), in some astounding amount of time. There is a battle raging as I write to you, between the Corvette guys (ZR1 - 7 mins 26.4 secs) and the Viper guys (ACR - 7 mins 22.1 secs) about who is the greatest Ring ruler of them all. All of this, "Who's the fastest," talk has left the Nissan GT-R (

No, it's not time to panic yet. If the car market and the aftermarket is in real trouble that we're going to be sitting in for a long time then November 3 – Friday, November 6 2009 will be some dark and depressing days.Those dates are when the 2009 SEMA show will we held in Las Vegas.

I would reccomend the car to anyone just looking to drive a car. Anyone who wants a nice car to drive and not do anything to, got one.

Now this list is most defianetly going to make some people mad. Good. I can safely say that I could care less about feelings. We're talking cars here and they hurt more feeling than a woman does. The thing with cars is that you want to keep coming back to them. Women? Sometimes you can just take a nice long break from women. Cars? No. So, here it is for you visual and intellectual pleasure, my

Just what is possible and not possible when it comes to building cars? The sky is the limit my friend it's within the realm of possibility to do pretty much anything you damn well please. Examples have been given to us over and over again that you can put what ever engine in whatever car you want. Like the "Civ-Vette" video below. A Honda Civic with a Chevrolet Corvette engine.

In a sea of crap-o-la there are spectacularly beautiful things. The Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's David and other high class stuff. Then there's sunsets and the ocean, you know, stuff you're girlfriend drags you to.

To paraphrase Travis Pastrana in one of his Nitro Circus DVDs, Red Bull is the most fun loving company in the world. It just is. Everywhere I seem to turn, Red Bull has yet another sponsorship or a new sponsorship in the works. Red Bull pays athletes in almost all forms of sport to smear their logo across helmets, jumpsuits and vehicles. Red Bull sponsors teams and individuals in motocross,

Due to the steepness of hills in Florida drivers gain a lot of inadvertent speed. Due to this unintentional speed I have had the privilege to give hundreds of dollars to the state of Florida. After so many injustices you might think that I would have become embittered, and you'd be right. That is not the problem though. However, my dislike is not irrational.There have been numerous studies

Ok, so most car companies are in some deep doo-doo. Especially if you're General Motors, Chrysler or Ford. That's why they're offering pretty freakin' good deals. Just check out Ford, GM and Chrysler.com. When you check out Chrysler don't forget to look at Dodge because they'll be having the same deals going on, being as they're both under the same umbrella.So what are we to make of

There are plenty of cool cars out there that are worthy of being in movies but Hollywood and movie producers don't seem to notice that lately. Today it's all about corporate sponsorship and making money before the film is even released. Back in 1968 when the movie Bullitt got released they had to debadge the Mustang, because Ford would not let the producers leave the little horsey in the grill.

The wisdom I have to impart to you is how to build a car that will not only be fast but good looking as well. Although you may not think that this is at all possible just by looking at the cars with

America is cars and music. It’s just a fact that is evidenced by the way that we live. Look at the roads that we drive on. Look at the way our stores get their inventory. Our roads are huge compared to the old ones of the United Kingdom where our forefathers came from. The majority of the products that each of us buy from Wal-Mart are shipped via an 18 wheeler trucks.

Ford has been making much better looking and overall quality cars in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe for a while now. So why has it taken them so long to bring that fit and finish over here to America? I mean how hard could it be to bring a Focus to America that has 296 horsepower like the 2009 Focus RS?

With the upcoming release of the fourth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise it seems appropriate to discuss some the products that come out of the films.

Never let it be said that the motoring press around the world hasn’t given the Chevrolet Corvette its share of scrutiny and doubt. In fact, the report from most automobile news outlets that aren’t devoted to the world of Chevy, as well as General Motors, can give the impression that compared to other sports cars the Corvette just doesn’t measure up.
