It dawned on me recently as I was driving along in the middle of nowhere California that most drivers aren’t properly prepared for those “Oh SHIT!” moments. Therefore I’ve decided to make a quick list of things that you should never be without, and it applies to all drivers, regardless of your daily distance traveled.

1. Cell Phone: These little devices are generally the first line of defense when you’re stranded out there on the open road. They give you comfort, provide you with the contact and emergency information of those that can help, and give you the ability to call on #2 on the list. Oh… and don’t forget to keep your cell charger in the car at all times.

The Porsche 356 is one of those rare cars that has the ability to put a smile on the face of all those who view it. By today’s standards these cars are considered to be “cute”, but when first released back in the late 1940′s they were at the pinnacle of the performance envelope. This particular car is a 1962 Porsche 356 B Super cabriolet, and it’s one of the more striking cars we’ve come across. Finished in its original factory? Smyrna green paint over brown leather seats, visually the car is just stunning. It’s also one of the more documented 356′s out there. Having covered 125,000 miles and still retaining the original tool kit with Porsche-inscribed wrenches, this is a car that is sure to make a perfect addition to any Porsche collection.

For those of you petrol-heads that are unaware, there is a new Mad Max movie slated to come out in 2014. The fourth installment of the franchise entitled “Fury Road” will star Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, and is sure to reignite the passion for one of the greatest movie cars in history. Recently though I came upon “Mad Max Renegade”, a tribute video to the franchise and one that should tide fans over until the real thing comes out. It’s well shot, fun and of course contains a replica of the original Interceptor. Check it out!

If you’re familiar with the Jensen Interceptor then you know that it was a grand touring hybrid of sorts. A combination of British style and American power, the Interceptor was one of those rare cars that never really saw the success it deserved. This is an unfortunate thing since Jensen was truly on the forefront of automotive development. What you are looking at here is a 1972 Jensen Interceptor FF, the worlds first four-wheel drive, V8 powered super-sedan. These cars were built in very limited numbers, so finding one in pristine condition is almost impossible. The one you are viewing here is currently up for sale on eBay and is reportedly the last one built in the third series of cars done between 1966-1972. Said to have gone through an extensive $160,000 restoration, this may in fact be one of the best remaining left.

I think we’ve just found the man (and the video) that dethrones Ken Block. This is B.J. Baldwin, trophy truck pilot and stuntman extraordinaire. His vehicle of choice, the Monster Energy 850-horsepower trophy truck that comes equipped with 34-inches of suspension travel and a 150 mph top end. Combine that with a hot chick driving a Nissan GT-R, a helicopter and a few slow-motion cameras and you’ve just developed the recipe for internet video stardom!

AMMO NYC founder Larry Kosilla knows a thing or two about automotive detailing. You see after caring for some of the most priceless automobiles in existence over the last decade, Kosilla became so disenfranchised with the car care industry that he took matters into his own hands and created AMMO NYC, a company dedicated to creating products that cater to the toughest automotive enthusiast. To start the year off right AMMO hosted a party at Manhattan Classic Car Club. The automotive press turned out in droves to not only have some fun, but celebrate a company that finally understands what we as dedicated petrol-heads want for our vehicles.

It wasn’t until the last 15 years or so that Ferrari’s 246 Dino were actually considered to be good investments. The Dino’s were always thought to be lacking in the performance department due in part to their 195 hp 6-cylinder engines. However those who were able to look past this realized that the Dino was one of the best driving cars Ferrari ever produced thanks to their low weight and superb chassis. The following example shows just 12,678 miles on the odometer and is in amazing original condition aside from a single repaint in original Bianca white. The original Daytona seats show only slight wear and mechanically, with service records from new, the car is said to be a very strong runner.

Like Harley-Davidson motorcycles, today’s modern muscle cars can be customized to reflect the owners personality. Paint, wheels, interior and engine modifications can be addressed and there is no shortage of parts from the aftermarket. The following Dodge Challenger comes to us from the guys over at Jonsibal Design Works, and is nothing short of sinister. Flat bronze wheels set perfectly in the fender wells give the car and evil stance, and that matte-black paint finishes off a stunning machine. This particular design may not be for everyone, but as far as we’re concerned, it looks outstanding!
