C.A.D. - Cardboard Aided Design
By Dan Barnes
It was an epiphany when I walked into a race shop and saw the interior tin work of an under-construction Rolex GT car mocked up entirely in white illustration board, clecos and blue tape. I made a mental note: I can do that! I can even afford that! Now my projects turn out better with the use of old cereal boxes, scissors and tape.

The Dakar Rally: Robby's Wicked Week
By Bill Wood
This is difficult. American Robby Gordon had such an incredible shot at winning The 2012 Dakar Rally. The overwhelming might of the Volkswagen team was gone. Gordon's Team Speed Hummers were among the fastest in the event. The fact that they were RWD and they were running with or, even, outrunning the AWD Minis on the stages is a testament to Robby's development skills, his driving prowess and his sheer, staggering nerve to believe he could stare down the BMW/MINI brigade and beat them at their own game. Just stunning.
