Well the 2011 Border Run Rally has come and gone and it sounds like everything went well.
We didn’t get the opportunity to attend, this year, but had some friends from Reflections of the Drive and Burnout Radio who did get to make it.

Here are some great photos taken by our friend Trent from Reflections of the Drive.

Burnout Radio burns down Project Miata

Our friends and local Texas car enthusiast at Burnout Radio have been working on their “Project Miata” for a few months now with big plans for the future. You can hear a lot about their plans for this car on their podcast and even follow some of their projects at Car Care 101.

Last night, via twitter, we found out that “Project Miata” caught fire on the side of the highway. It’s always a terrifying experience having trouble with your car, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.

What’s next for our Texas friends? Follow along and find out.

We talked Chevy Volt, year end award winners, and much more!

Oh yeah! Triple digits baby! For our 100th episode we threw a party invited over the entire Tejas Crew and set about trying to figure our our favorite Burnout Radio moments. But first we though it was only fitting to review the best car in the history of everness on our 100th episode, the Chevy Volt. And seeing as how this is our last episode of  Season 3 it time for the prestigious Burnout Radio Awards. more…

Last month our friends at Burnout Radio gave us a chance to check out the all new 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, we posted on it here. We told you that soon enough we would have a post from Burnout Radio themselves with a full review on the car.

I think they did a fantastic job reviewing the car and making an entertaining video. Hope that everyone enjoys it and hope you get a chance to check out burnoutradio.com for more from Charlie and Nick.

There are some things in life, things you have the opportunity to experience, that can change your perspective and desires. When you first hit that age where you notice girls and become infatuated with your first love, for example. Or the day your first child is born and you know above all else that because of you this beautiful baby has a life. I ran into one of these life changing situations the other day, where I know, no matter what I do, I can never go back.

I had the opportunity, thanks to my friends at Burnout Radio and GM, to experience the wrath of the all new Corvette Grand Sport. This may seem like an insignificant opportunity compared to love and fathering a child, yet it was just as life altering. Although I have driven and been around Corvettes before in my life, there has always been nagging details that prevented the car from being a great sports car. It has had the power since the introduction of the LS motors and the C5 corvettes, and has always had the looks. But this Grand Sport was different. It’s not just the power, but the way it’s put to the road. It’s not just the looks, but the way the looks make you feel. The interior of the car is finally a nice place to be and when the RPM’s rise above 3500 and the butterfly valve in the exhaust open up, the noise sends thrills up your spine.

Being in and around this car all day only begs one last question. How can I live the rest of my life without this car?

Enjoy the short video of our “launch controlled” 0-60 and also enjoy some fantastic photos of the car parked in front of Lake Ray Hubbard.
