Typically the 2,680 residents of Woodbury, Tennessee, lead a quiet and remote life situated about 50 miles southeast of Nashville. But on October 19, 2013, that number more than doubled when some 1,300 diesel enthusiasts converged on the small town to enjoy a day of diesel activities at Bean's Diesel Performance's annual sled pull and dyno day event.

We've been paying a lot of attention to supercars in the past week, mainly due to the Frankfurt Auto Show and a lot of manufacturers pulling back the curtain on their latest creations. And today is no different, because Audi has unveiled their new R8 Spyder. The R8 has garnered an impressive following in the scant 3 years its been around, and with good reason, as it is essentially a top-notch supercar at a (relatively) reasonable price. Now, the R8 is getting the drop-top Spyder treatment and it's about time.

The exotic view of stylish as well as luxurious sedan cars at 12th Auto Expo left the spectators or onlookers dumbstruck. The elegant and astonishing glimpse of pretty automobiles rocked the show.

To say Lotus pulled off a bit of a coup at last month's 2010 Paris Auto Show is a massive understatement given the automaker's reveal of no less than six brand new concept cars, all of which are intended for production over the next five years. The list of concepts range from tiny urban runabouts to luxurious grand tourers and even a ballistic supercar, the latter of which we finally get to see in some detail following the release of these latest images.

After an absolutely dismal 2009, where two of America's three domestic automakers declared bankruptcy, and someone finally pulled the plug on sales, 2010 could only get better right? Well, that was true for some automakers, classes, and particular vehicles; for others, 2010 was another year of struggling.

When I was in high school I used to work at a funeral home where I mowed lawns, shoveled sidewalks, and washed cars. I consider myself a pretty skilled car washer so my interest was peaked when I saw the Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash. The way in which the Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash system works is as follows. First, you apply a water-based solution containing premium soaps, surfactants, and lubricating agents, plus a special polymer polish formula. The solution will dissolve dirt on contact. Second, you simply soak up the liquefied dirt with the microfiber towel. The microfiber towel pulls the dirt solution away from the surface and protects it from scratching. Finally, a second microfiber towel is used to buff off the remaining residue, leaving behind a nice shine. Now, when I first considered this product, I thought, "Are you kidding me? My truck is almost always too dirty for this approach to cleaning!" So, I visited the product's official site and found the following, "Be very aware of the surface you are cleaning. If you feel the surface is too soiled, sandy or gritty…DO NOT USE FREEDOM PRODUCTS on this surface. Freedom products are common sense products." That statement alone made me much more confident in the validity of Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash. There have been plenty of times I have washed my car when it wasn't really dirty…just kind of dusty. THAT situation is exactly what this product is perfect for. After using Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash on my wife's car and my neighbor's boat (thanks, Chad!), I can tell you it works as advertised. Both vehicles were left looking as clean and waxed and it was quick and easy and didn't use any water. I rate this product a four-star product, but remember, it isn't for removing caked on mud.

Yesterday, Saab hit the snooze button and dreamed of survival a bit longer, thanks to a series of loans from North Street Capital totaling $70 million.

I pulled the trigger, timing my shot at that point when its jittery figure eight was due back on center mass, and cleared the final pin from the table. My time was slightly slower than when I instinct shoot without the aid of a laser, or any sight at all (I look right through the metallic sights and trust my subconscious mind to align them for me before authorizing my brain to shoot)…but it was my first time using Crimson Trace's famous LaserGrips. I enjoyed the laser, but hadn't gotten used to it yet.

Last time we looked at Driven Diesel's power steering fix for GM trucks. In Part 2, we'll get to work on the installation. The easiest way to do the install is to jack up the front of the truck, place it on jack stands and remove the inner fender with a trim panel tool. Before you remove the inner fender, pull it down slightly so you can see the wiring harnesses that are attached to the top of the fender with the same type clips.

It's a philosophy we've been preaching for years-buy a good used diesel truck and build it your way with the right combination of aftermarket parts to get the job done. Whether you sled pull, tow, drag race or are just looking for a fun and reliable daily driver, you can save thousands by buying a good, used pre-emissions diesel and outfitting it to make more horsepower and torque, and possibly pick up a few mpgs in the process.
