Red Dirt Rodz The Series!
We have launched a kickstarter in order to fund the 2013 season of Red Dirt Rodz, our new webseries and we need your help! In order to be able to pay our film crew, we need to raise some money, cold hard cash, moolah, greenbacks. That is where you come in. Through your pledges, we [...]
Redneck Monday Returns! 3 Fat Guys in a Beetle
On a recent trip to the Texas Motor Speedway, I had the opportunity to drive some really cool cars on the infield road course including the 2013 Viper GTS, the 2013 Mustang GT500 and the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG, but the highlight of the day was the 2013 Volkwagon Beetle convertible. Seems strange that I [...]
Top Gear America Needs Fresh Ideas
OK, look, I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I appreciate it, but if you want to steal my concepts, you could at least bring me on the show as a guest. Back in early 2012, we made a video called “How I Met Your Mother, Red Dirt Style” and it was [...]
2013 NAIAS Review!
For the last 3 days I have been walking the show floor at COBO hall in Detroit for the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). This was my first time at the show and I have to say, I was blown away. The cars are amazing, the displays over the top and seeing as how [...]

Merry Christmas!
‘Twas the night before christmas and all through the shop, not a creature was stirring, not even a cop. The wrenches were hung on the pegboard with care, in hopes that a new carb soon would be there. The sparkplugs were threaded, snug in the beds, while dreams of top fuelers roared in their [...]
Are you ready to “Control the Road”?
I had a chance to spend some time with the Lakewood crew at the 2012 SEMA show in November. This year, Lakewood is launching a complete bolt-on suspension system for late model Ford Mustangs. The kits are true bolt-ons, and driven back to back, you can really feel a difference. Lakewood gave a few of [...]
Hostess Hunters- Once More Into The Fray
With the engine buzzing at 6500 rpm, I weave my way through traffic like a jack rabbit through the desert vegatation. Unlike the rabbit who is being hunted, I am the hunter, searching for the last stronghold of delectable goodness that is the Hostess Twinkie. Now I don’t claim to be any sort of pioneering tracker, [...]
Hot Rod Power Tour! A Red Dirt Roadtrip
OK, the original plan was to do the long haul in Buttered Toast, our twin-turbo Buick wagon, but after thrashing hard for 2 weeks to get the details handled, it became obvious that it just wouldn’t be a good idea to try to run the car without any kind of real road test. So we [...]
Redneck Monday
Every great website needs a great jingle, and I think we have come up with just the ticket. Red Dirt is not just a website, it’s a way of life. We also have some new projects here in the Red Dirt Rodz garage. Our twin-turbo Buick wagon, Buttered Toast, is getting a new high-tech ignition [...]
