Solid rods
If you dig those crazy hot rods, and what car guy doesn’t, then you must see the extensive galleries from past Goodguys’ nationwide rod-and-custom shows on their website. Check out: Custom Rides.

Mighty McLaren
As McLaren Automotive starts a new chapter of its supercar history with the P1 prototype debuting at the Paris Auto Show, take a look at the automaker’s cool website. Check out: Supercar Site.

Paris show girls
As well as trotting out Europe’s latest car models, the Paris Auto Show displays some of Europe’s most-beautiful female models. Here are 64 photos of them on a British web site. Check out: Just say Oui.

Microbus madness
Watch as this guy puts an ancient VW split-window microbus through off-road adventures usually reserved for Jeeps, Land Rovers and various varieties of monster trucks. Check out: Tough Love Bug.

Old-school racing
Here’s a 10-minute video of stock-car racing action from the mid-1950s, much of it on the beach. Presented by Ford, which claims that it ruled. Check out: Gritty Competitors.

Demo tapes
I recently discovered an amazing number of videos from Williams County, Ohio, demolition derbies on YouTube. So if you’re into that sort of thing, here’s your entry point. Check out: Scratch and Dent.

Danes are great
This truly epic video hyping a Danish bus line, unearthed by our friends at Autoweek, shows just how out there those folks really are. Bonus: Learn Danish! Check out: Ya, Cool!
