It may sound a bit strange, but if you were to tell most people that you can have a relationship with your car, just as you do with say a dog or person, they probably laugh in your face. Automobile enthusiasts however see things differently, as our cars represent not only our freedom, but our memories. Take your first car for instance. You may not know where it is, or what’s become of it, but I can guarantee you’d like to see it again. One lucky father recently got this chance when his son actually hunted down, and bought back his old Mustang Mach 1. The car was far from perfect, but if you think that mattered to his Dad, well, you’d be dead wrong.

My first car was a 1981 Mercury Capri. It had four different tires, a wee-tiny 4-cylinder engine and one blown speaker in the center of the dash that was connected to a stock AM only radio. The car was a total shit-box, but to me it was the greatest thing ever. Unfortunately I ended up crashing it soon after I got it, but for some odd reason I still miss it. Now obviously in the mid-1980′s the Mustang GT 5.0 was the King of the block, however if you were a bit sly, you would’ve opted for the Mercury Capri GS. It packed the same 5.0L mill as the Mustang, but came equipped with a wicked bull-nose front end and an awesome aero-style hatchback. The one you are seeing here is bone stock, has a mere 29,000 miles on the clock and if I had the money I would’ve purchased it by now. These old fox bodies are becoming harder and harder to find in stock shape, so if you’re smart, you’ll scoop this sucker up immediately!

For some, mastering the art of the burnout is simple. You simply rev the engine to around 5k, dump the clutch and PRESTO! Tire smoke galore. However trying to perform a brake stand with in a car equipped with a manual transmission can be a bit tricky. Most of the time you simply side-step the clutch and you’re done. However do this incorrectly and shit can go wrong VERY quickly, a lesson that the owner of this late model Mustang found out as he was leaving a local car show. No joke, this is literally painful to watch…

Believe it or not, but even at 4,000 lbs. and 18-feet long, the 1969 Dodge Charger is actually quite a good drift machine. They’re extremely tail-happy, have gobs of power and when driven correctly are an absolute riot. Therefore it’s no surprise to me that the owner of this General Lee replica is taken great pleasure in slinging this 44-year old sled around some barriers. The video really is a hoot to watch, so check it out after the jump.

Traction, power and balls. That’s what it takes to be a good drag racer these days. Have too much of one and not enough of the other though, and things can sometimes go south. If however you’ve got too much of all of the above, well then that can also be a detriment. Racer Jere Etheridge recently found this out when piloting what looks to be a late model Mustang down the 1,320. Not only did he have traction and power, but he also had the balls to stay in it the entire run making for one of the most exciting passes I’ve ever seen. Don’t believe me?
