A couple weekends ago I was able to visit the garage of Dallas motoring legend Jack Griffin. Jack is a fellow DFW Auto Club member, Porsche collector, ex-pro racer (Le Mans!), and an all-around great guy.
Conveniently enough, that weekend I had rented the new Sony A77 to see if I liked it, as I’m considering a purchase. Below are a few images I took as well as my foray into DSLR video. It’s not great, but I see potential. Hopefully you do to.
Snowpocalypse, snowmagedden, snowcain infiltration, or whatever you want to call it, we’ve had quite the winter this year in North Texas. With only one set of tires on my Infiniti G35 and those being fairly sticky, summer tires, you might imagine my hesitation to drive it in the snow and ice. So while it has been at or near single digit temperatures, she stayed in the garage at a pleasant fifty or sixty degrees. The Explorer has served us well in the snow when we needed out.
However, I couldn’t help but think how pretty the Twilight Blue paint would look in the snow. So she rolled out one afternoon, and now I know. Take a look.

Chevrolet Impala - Not the one from this story
The following is a guest entry written by Todd Hyso. I work with Todd at my day job and he loves cars easily as much as the next fanatic. Don’t speak of modern cars around him too much though. He gets moody if you don’t discuss cars older than me.

This may not fit the usual mold of what I post on here, but you can drive tractors right? Since our son loves tractors and I’m trying get back in the groove of using my camera more regularly, here are a few tractor shots near our house.

Some cars respond to different air intakes with an obvious increase in power. Others, such as those with Nissan’s VQ motor, arguably add any power at all. For the latter, most add an intake solely for the extra volume when dropping your lead foot to the floorboard. Intake manufacturers have long advertised increases anywhere from two to fifteen horsepower. An inordinate number of enthusiast forum arguments have stemmed from this over the years, as many claim there are no gains whatsoever.
Someone over at G35driver.com has finally decided to use his Infiniti G35 as the baseline, rent a dyno, and put this myth to rest…or more likely, start a whole new batch of arguments. Regardless, this should be a fun comparison and one that will at least result in actual dyno numbers from a relatively controlled test.
A few intakes have been sourced, but the more the merrier. If you can help out in providing another intake for the comparison, please let me know or jump on the forum to make a post. The first link below has a list of what is still needed.
The intake myth. The car. The test details.
