Car enthusiasts everywhere have a special place in their heart for Nascar. Even if you aren’t the type to care about cars taking continuous left turns in hope to pass each other while attempting to miss the collisions that make the sport exciting. You may be the enthusiast that is just interested in what happens during the pit stops or how the car is built in general. Regardless of where you fit on the spectrum, I am positive that if you have a love for cars, you have a respect for those used on race day every weekend from February-November. Clint Bowyer is my main man when it comes to Nascar. This has recently become a huge debate in my family. I was introduced to the sport a few years ago, which was actually what brought me to love cars. My uncle was a Clint fan back when he drove a Chevy but he quickly gave him the boot when he started driving a foreign car last year. As a driver of a Toyota myself, I can’t complain with Clint’s car choice or argue with the...

Toyota 2000GT – a rare car with a special story. We present you today the Toyota 2000GT Targa version, a sports car that came from Japan and was supposed  to appear in the company of James Bond. Its  story comes in the following lines. Toyota 2000GT was launched in 1965 at the Tokyo Auto Show, one of the first true sports car produced in Japan. It took almost two years before the model was introduced for mass production. Praised by the media specialists of that time and being compared with Porsche 911 in terms of dynamics, Toyota 2000GT directly entered in the history books.

2014 Toyota Tundra was presented at 2013 Chicago Auto Show. It is the most significant restyling from its debut as a 2007 model. The changes that the 2014 Tundra model brings are mostly cosmetic, the mechanical basis remaining unchanged. 2014 Toyota Tundra is the momentum that Toyota needs after the recent lackluster performance on the American pickup market. But analyzing the restyled truck, excepting the exterior amendments, the rest of the changes brought to this model are far more evolutionary than revolutionary. We aren’t very confident that this facelift will give the 2014 Tundra enough of a push to catch up with the new models from GM and Ram, or the Ford F-150 segment-leader. 2014 Toyota Tundra Wallpaper [photo gallery] ...
