January is
autoevolution’s Ford Month, and what would a proper celebration be without a quirky story whose brilliance got fogged up by the passing of time? In fact, this story is so fogged up and forgotten that we were able to find only few details about it, save for the mention in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Suffice it to say that today’s two heroes are Rob Gibney and a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria sedan that he used to call his favorite car in the world. On August 22, at the Race City Motorsports Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Gibney accomplished what one can only assume had been a lifelong dream. He drove the Ford backward at an average speed of 66.67 kph (41.42 mph), covering a distance of 807.39 km (501.69 miles).

It’s not long now until the new generation of the Bronco, an entire family, in fact, hits the road. That means we should get ready for a flood of more or less intense exploits of the Ford machine, as it moves to make a name for itself in a world dominated until now by Jeep. 7 photos
Even with the impending arrival of the new generation, the old one is still causing a stir anytime a worthy example comes to light. One usually finds them on auction lots, waiting to be sold as a reminder that the old Bronco is not going away.

In case you haven t been living under a rock large enough to interfere with the signal, you re well aware of the YouTube treatment new performance cars get these days. Case in point with
The Hulk, a 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 whose engine blew up following a hefty muscle boost and months of abuse. 8 photos
Last year, the Predator 5.2-liter V8 of the GT500 in question was taken to around 1,000 horsepower, albeit without receiving any upgraded internals. And, after plenty of drag strip and street hooning, a rod finally gave up during a drive that took place back in November, which led to a chain of issues that left not one, but two holes in the block.
