CarDomainTV: Mr. Angry Talks to Harry about his ‘32 Ford

Ladies and gentleman, meet Harry. Harry is probably one of the most talented customizers at SEMA this year, and proved it with this wicked Viper powered 1932 Ford.

Tough Tundra in the SEMA Toyota Booth

This matte black Toyota Tundra short bed was just kinda lurking in back of the Toyota booth. The cool part is that this rig is puting down 625hp… AT THE WHEELS! Talk about a sleeper. These are the kind of vehicles that all of us hot rodders want the manufactures to build. On the inside it’s stock Tundra with some little hot rod touches. A triple gauge pod, big ole’ tach and fire extinguisher keep the go fast theme in check while the steels wheels make the its appearance a...

SEMA 2008: Cure for the Teeny Weenie

Meet the SportChassis P4-XL pick-up truck, one million tons of American steel, diesel and chest hair rolled up in a package that wouldn’t get down one European street. I am just curious why this thing was actually created. I mean, it serves no purpose whatsoever. It’s ugly and the fuel cost must be astronomical. Also, where the hell do you park something like this? My vote would be to park it at the local dump. Take it there, take it apart and throw the whole damn thing in the...

CarDomainTV: Goldberg’s Superbird

Over a year ago when I decided to start work on our 1969 Dodge Daytona, I got a call from former wrestler, pro-football player and auto-maniac Bill Goldberg. Bill was the host the Bullrun TV show that I was a part of, so when I found out he was building a 1970 Plymouth Superbird in conjunction with Year One, I was obviously curious about the project. Well, the project was unveiled and seeing the car in person just doesn’t do it justice. The guys at Year One worked with Goldberg’s...

Old Skool Cool

Man, where do I even begin with this thing? Walking through SEMA we’ve been privy to the best and worst of the automotive customs. However, this little bugger caught my eye immediately. Based on a 1932 Ford, this car was simply outstanding in every detail. It was running a fully independent rear end, Viper V10 powerplant and transmission as well as side pipes. The interior is the best I have seen at SEMA thus far, and body and finishing work throughout the car was that of a pure...

Rally Inspired Honda Pilot: Very Cool

The Honda Pilot is a pretty uninspiring vehicle when viewed in stock form. However, with a few trick upgrades this mild mommy machine has been turned into a pretty rad rally machine. From the well thought out front push guard sporting four Hella lights to the cool Thule roof rack to the rally-inspired interior complete with roll cage and fully-adjustable oh sh*t handles, this little UTE is transformed into something I think Daddy would drive on a regular basis.           �

Original Vanishing Point Chally in the Flesh

If you’re a Mopar fan, there are certain movies that you must see. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Phantasm, Dukes of Hazzard, Joe Dirt, Cannonball (the orignal), Blues Brothers, and of course Vanishing Point. In this flick Kowalski tried to run from the cops in a white Challenger R/T while totally jacked up on uppers. If you’re really fine cinema, this movie is not for you. If you like Mopars, car chases and cool nude scenes with a hot blond chick on a motorcycle, then you must check it...

Fireball or Geritol… you decide.

This past week was spent participating in the Fireball Run Transcontinental Road Rally and going in I wasn’t sure what to expect. You see Fireball is set up a bit differently then rallies like the Bullrun or Gumball 3000 as it is marketed as an “Adventure Rally”. (see below) (September 25th - October 4th ) Fireball Run 2: Back to the Track, will have an 1980’s themed auto rally. 100 teams comprised of some of the most successful people on the planet embark on a 3500 mile 9...

Here we go again… it’s time for one more rally in 2008. This time TEAM ANGRY will be partaking in the “Fireball Run Transcontinental Road Rally”,  from Baton Rouge, LA to Grand Rapids, MI.    (September 25th - October 4th ) Fireball Run 2: Back to the Track, will have an 1980’s themed auto rally. 100 teams comprised of some of the most successful people on the planet embark on a 3500 mile 9 day transcontinental adventure of a lifetime. The 2008 event will start in Baton...

Chevy VOLT! I like this thing…

  I just spoke to Greg Cecil who is one of the men in charge on the Volt Project yesterday. I am the co-host of the “RPM” radio show on Maxim Magazine channel 108 on Sirius Sat. every Thursday from 2-3pm eastern time and he was our guest.   The Volt is a very interesting car and he was very quick to point out that it was NOT a hybrid but an “Extended Range” vehicle. You can charge it with a 220 or 110 standard outlet with a full charge w/ a 210 being done in about 3...

Car Show BS…

  Yesterday I did something that I generally do not do… attend a car show. I brought the Charger because its more fun to drive than my 118,+++ mile Mercury Villager, however I had absolutely no intention of being judged and or entering the show.  We rolled up to the entrance, I paid my $20 bucks and told the attendant that I would like to pay to park on the show field as it was safer then parking in the standard lot, he said “ok” and we proceeded to park amongst the other...

So you want to build a hot rod eh?

So, you want to build a custom car huh? Well, let me just start by saying that you’d better do some research before you jump in head first. I get A LOT of people telling me that they are thinking about building a car, but in reality they have absolutely no concept of what it takes to actually do this. They think that the shiny red tool box in the corner of their garage is all they will need to make a SEMA show car. They’ve generally read some magazines about how someone built a car...

A call to the peanut gallery… STFU!

    Over the past week I’ve been selling a bunch of items here and there to try and make a little loot. Once such item is my old BMW M5. You see it was getting up there in age, performance was still everything it ever was, but since I just started my business MR. ANGRY INC. and needed the capital it had to go. I checked all the other prices on used M5’s on the net and then low-balled all of them by 3 grand. By doing this I sold in the car in about 40 minutes. A gentleman called, we...

Ebay questions are simply annoying.

Ok, so I am in the process of selling a bunch of a car parts on Ebay and I have tell you I am sick and tired of the BS questions people are asking. Now keep in mind that these questions are not really referring to the item that is being sold, they are questions that ask me to give them pity because they can’t afford to purchase what I am selling.    Question: I am a poor college student and really want the items you have for sale but don’t have the “buy it now” price,...

Old Skool for a daily driver?

This weekend when I was out and about I saw something in the wild that is seldom seen. A beautiful 1974 Dodge Charger. The car had been repainted, bumpers re-chromed and the original interior was in remarkably good shape. As I looked this car over and admired it, I started wondering if it could be an everyday driver. The more I though about it, the more I thought - Why the hell not? Not only did the old Charger look great but it was very well equipped with all the modern conveniences you could...

BMW’s concept car: GINA

Now over the years Chris Bangle, BMWs head designer has been raked over the coals for making some pretty funky looking automobiles. However now, he may actually be on to something not only by thinking outside the box but by thinking outside the box that the original box was delivered in. Say goodbye rigid fenders, hard plastics and fiberglass because this could truly be the way of the future. The concept is amazing, remove all the hard lines and replace with a soft exo-skin the actually flexes...

A Lincoln that would make SuperFly cry….

Every now and again something pops up on the automotive radar screen that should have been torpedoed at its inception. This 1973 Lincoln you are looking at is such a creation. Apparently someone had a fascination with both Stevie Wonder, SuperFly and blindness because whomever decided to construct this thing obviously couldn’t see worth a damn. It has a similar front end to that of the Green Hornet’s Black Beauty, a paint scheme that would make any body man crawl into a closet with...

Be proud of your POS!

I got to thinking about my previous blog where I wrote about how all my cars broke down at one time, and I began to wonder who, aside from myself, drives a POS. I would assume the list is quite long since I see a bunch of them rolling around on the streets these days, although that may just be because I live in Queens. As I mentioned in my previous blog, my daily driver and POS (actually it just cost me $1,200 to fix) is a 1997 Mercury Villager, AKA the “Danger Van,” with 117k miles...

The Fleet is DOWN!!

Ever have one of those weeks where just about everything went wrong? Well, last week was my week for everything in my garage to turn to crap. Let’s start with Monday. It was a great day here in NYC and I decided to take my 2001 BMW M5 out for a little jaunt. Keep in mind that this car is no spring chicken. I say this because once you say BMW and M5 in the same sentence people get certain ideas in their heads, like you probably go to country clubs and buy expensive t- shirts and stuff. My...

Bullrun 2008… IT’S OVER!

     Ok, so for the past week now people have been asking me for a description and or some insight into what went wrong with our 1969 Dodge Daytona replica on this years Bullrun from Calgary to Phoenix. Well, let me start by saying A LOT went wrong. We had planned, as did the other competitors to have a grand ole’ time on this years BR and we did, we just hit a few snags along way.  Here’s how it went down.    Snag 1. : The Daytona: July 2007 - June 2008 As most everyone knows last...
