    Soccer Mom

    Jul 13, 2004

    Comic/gearhead Christopher Titus is tricking out an SUV into a one-of-a-kind super-machine he affectionately calls "Killing the Soccer Mom." This refers to taking a kids-and-shopping family tank and getting rid of all that screams "suburban female head of household." Outspoken family man Titus has big plans for this rig, working with Wings West and making it into a ride that you'll WANT Mom to pick you up in.

    Eleanor

    Jul 20, 2004

    Look at her — beautiful lines, curvaceous, ultra-sleek and the star of one of the biggest car flicks of all time. She's now being handcrafted, one part at a time, in Dallas. The place that makes this beauty is Unique Performance. She's Eleanor, the leading lady in Gone in 60 Seconds, and you too can have one of these way-cool GT-500E rides for yourself. But before you open the checkbook, check out the episode where we'll see an Eleanor get built from start to finish.

    Rat Rods

    Aug 3, 2004

    It's a car culture—flat paint, flathead engines, chopped roofs, rockabilly themes and usually no hood. Rat Rods are for the independent garage dudes who prefer comfort, funk and speed to show cars or high priced restoration.
