It Just Got A Little Worse To Drive A Smart Car

well at least in Amsterdam (as reported in De Telegraaf Biinenland) Apparently local drunk hooligans will leave the tavern, and find smart cars to flip over to the side, or pushed into canals as seen in this photo

As a long time advocate against smart cars as seen in a recent Truckeo Blog .I applaud [...]

The proper way to tune a Buell

Erik Buell tries to make Harley-Davidson powered motorcycles go fast.
He has apparently seen the light and decided on the ultimate way to treat the motorcycles that bear his name. He is crushing them. We can’t think of a better thing to do with the entire line.

Growing veggies in your truck

Some days, when my little flying pink elephant friends are talking to me , I start to think that maybe I am a little crazy – or perhaps I should stop drinking so heavily at breakfast. Then I will have a day like today when I watched a short film on YouTube about some guys [...]

Ford kills Explorer Sport Trac

So just we we started getting our groove on, getting down with the Sport Trac and selling lots of Explorer Sport Trac lift kits, Ford has to go pee on our parade. According to Automotive News and Autoblog Ford has decided to kill the poor truck, instead of doing the obvious smart thing and renaming [...]

Truck fail – breaks in half!

These things just make me laugh. A lot.

Vespa versus Smart Car revisited

Yesterday Jesse and Rafael raced – Vespa vs. SmartCar. I think that there needs to be a rematch once we can do a few mods to the Smart Car. Yesterday’s race was not totally fair since Jesse has heavily modified his little scoot and the Smart Car was stock. So in the interests of fair [...]

World’s most pathetic drag race

This is a very slow and lame drag race between Jesse on his Vespa and Rafael in the Smart Car. At least Jesse was kind enough to thank his sponsors at the end!

Considering A New Paint Job For Your Truck And Are You In The South?

Take a lesson from the boys over at Top Gear, and stay away from any thing anti W. Bush, anti Country Music, or anti NASCAR… One of our favorite shows here at Truckeo is Top Gear which for those that don’t know its about a group of Brits that have to complete auto challenges [...]

Pee in your gas tank for better fuel economy

At Truckeo, we have a tradition of just reading headlines and skimming the content. This results in our not understanding the things that we have an obnoxious opinion on. After all its the internet – who needs fact checking? So we were actually tempted to read the articles about powering your truck by peeing into [...]

New Ford F-150 Hybrid has poor fuel economy

Ford has been pushing their ‘green’ image for years. We had the Pinto, then we had Bill Ford and his “I am an environmentalist” TV ads, and we have had the F-150 SFE Fuel Economy edition. While the intention is nice, the truth is that Ford sells more trucks than anyone and thus is the [...]

Ford Trucks to come with Laser Beams

Reminiscent of Dr. Evil in Austin Powers, the next generation of Ford vehicles will come equipped with laser beams to ignite that pesky gasoline that they will still insist on using. Researchers at Liverpool University have finally done something useful with all that grant money that they get and have figured out that laser beams [...]

Will Twitter sue us as well as Tech Crunch?

We have noted a couple of times here on this blog about trucks that we have Twitter accounts, and we have hijacked the Twitter imagery for our own uses. Now Tech Crunch has posted internal company documents that some person has swindled from inside Twitter itself.
These documents show internal projections of users and also of [...]

New GM won’t pay the old GM’s bills

On top of all the other news about GM and its bankruptcy, its new labor negotiations, its suppliers going bankrupt – there is a new problem.
They aren’t going to pay Rick Wagoner his full retirement pay. What kind of thanks is that to the man that ran them into the ground? Fritz just don’t play [...]
