One of the things I notice when I moved out to the West Coast was the vast number of off-road vehicles that roamed the streets. Everything from high-riders and boggers, to pre-runners and trophy trucks can be seen here from time to time. Down in Southern California though it’s an entirely different story as these rigs are literally everywhere, but then again so are the dunes for which they run upon. The Glamis Dunes of Glamis, CA are one of the more popular places to run free and because of this it’s no secret that video cameras are abound out there. The following video consists of almost 15 minutes of high-flying footage that is sure to put a smile on your face, so make sure to click through and enjoy.

Most people think that just because you’ve got a couple of kids, a job, and the need to ravage The Home Depot on occasion, that owning a fun family hauler is out of the question. However BIG MUSCLE is here to let you know that we’ve got you covered. Don’t believe me? How does a combined total of 1,111 horsepower and top speeds of over 185 mph sound? We recently headed up to Monticello Motor Club in Monticello, NY with a few wicked family trucksters, a special guest and one bad-ass Mopar that served as our BIG MUSCLE transport for the afternoon. Hit the jump to watch the video!

Here’s the deal: regardless of how talented you think you are at texting while driving, you’re not. In fact the odds of you killing and/or maiming yourself and others is actually pretty damn good. Don’t believe me? Click through for the video and watch as some amateur drivers are put to the texting test.

Here’s the deal – the world is simply not ready for electric vehicles. We don’t have the infrastructure, the battery technology isn’t up to snuff yet, and at days end electric vehicles simply don’t provide the range necessary for 99% of the driving population. Wes Siler of the DRIVE Network recently took out the new 2012 Zero DS electric motorcycle. It’s got an 84 mph top speed and a 112-mile range, but the real question is – will an electric motorcycle provide all the thrills and fun that today’s petrol powered bikes do? Video after the jump!

When I see dogs hanging out of the windows of automobiles all I can think of is the amount of slobber that the owner is going to have to clean off the upholstery. Now granted, I know they get a big kick out of the wind in their face and all, but I find it to be a bit much. Knowing however that he majority of the human population loves these K9s though has prompted me to post this. Check it out over at Vimeo.

The first gen Chevrolet Nova is a great little car. They’ve got a short wheelbase, they look great and at days end can be picked up for a song. The one you see here is no exception except for the fact that it’s been completely ruined by a set of DONK wheels and the worst white/gold walled combination tires I’ve ever seen. UGH… it hurts to just look at it. Via YouDriveWhat.com

Drifting, open road hoonage and big money German automobiles are just part of what makes Chris Harris’s newest DRIVE video outstanding. I mean were else can you see a Porsche GT3 RS 4.0, a BMW M3 GTS and a Mercedes C63 AMG all dooking it out at the same time. This is nothing but good old fashion fun that’s wrapped up in a kick ass tire smoking package – enjoy.

This is the BIG RED Camaro, and it’s one of the meanest muscle cars ever built. If you’ve never heard of it don’t worry because the team that built it just created one of the coolest videos we’ve seen in quite some time. Click through and check it out.

The Chevrolet small block is one of the greatest engines in all of automotive history. It’s powered countless hot-rods and customs, as well as the majority of GM’s muscle cars. Therefore it should come as no surprise that the Big Muscle guys head to Brighton, Michigan to visit the famed Lingenfelter Car Collection. Here we check out the first small block powered Chevrolet Corvette (the Duntov Test Mule EX-8), take a ride in a 1993 Lingenfelter ZR1, and sit down with Ken Lingenfelter as he guides us through the ins and outs of one of the greatest private car collections in the United States.

The Lexus LFA… remember that? It seems like only yesterday that the world was going completely insane over this V10 wonder from Japan. It had a $500,000 price tag, a top speed of over 200 mph and was limited to only 500 units. Well now the Lexus LFA is back and Motorweek has apparently figured out how to get their hands on one, which is good, because everything else in the Lexus lineup is boring as hell.
