With the holidays upon us, many gearheads like me are being asked for gift ideas…as someone who modifies & maintains my cars obsessively it is very hard to find something I don’t already have.

After years (literally) of searching for the elusive Saleen Explorer XP8, I finally found one for sale and was able to purchase it for a fair price. With only about 120-150 ever built, it has not been easy to find one…and when one finally did pop up, I knew it would need some work to ..read more
