newVideoPlayer("aminonissandrift.flv", 463, 387,""); Even the Japanese have camino envy. Some even want one so much they convert their old Nissans into car-trucks. This guy took an S13 180SX and made it into a "Driftomino." Sure the ride height is too low to go drive through a field, and the bed is only big enough to carry a mini scooter, but it makes up for it with those powerslide kudos. Though we kinda wish those Japanese guys had grown matching mullets. But what's that? You think it's not macho enough? Well then check out the Skyline Camino below. newVideoPlayer("aminoskyline.flv", 463, 387,""); [ You Tube ]

newVideoPlayer("G8STdrivinginstudio.flv", 484, 280,""); What's that? You're wondering if the production version of the newly-revealed Pontiac G8 El Camino is functional? Well here's the proof: exclusive, raw, uncut video of the G8 sport truck in action from our exclusive, raw, uncut photo shoot with the new ute. We suggested they do a nice smoky burnout for the photo shoot, but seeing as they'd literally just attached the hood to the production prototype for the first time mere hours ago, they were having none of that. Maybe they're saving the rubber for doing donuts on the New York Auto Show floor? Our guess is probably not, but it sure is nice seeing a prototype that isn't being pushed around by men in white gloves. Just listen to that 6.0-liter V8 purr.

Woo hooo! 11,000 lbs, supercharged, alcohol injected 383 cubic inch V8 good for 1250 horsepower, two and a half ton Rockwell transfer case, and 66" Goodyears. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Aces High . An all steel bodied 1972 El Camino SS which has been transformed in a wheel standing, car crushing, fire breathing (no really, it shoots fire) monster. It holds the record for the longest monster truck freestanding wheelie at 700 feet going 45 miles per hour. While an all fiberglass, higher performance version was recently completed and dubbed Shell Camino , the original version is way more in keeping with Maximum El Camino Day in our opinion. Oh, did we mention there's awesome 80's quality video of the beast in action set to the Iron Maiden riff of the same name after the jump? newVideoPlayer("aces-high.flv", 475, 376,""); [ Aces High Homepage ]

newVideoPlayer("G8pontiacST.flv", 494, 280,""); var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/It_s_official_the_El_Camino_is_back'; A few weeks ago we, along with our friends at PickupTruck.com , were given exclusive access to a vehicle whose return we've been anticipating for what seems like forever. Today our prayers to the General have been answered -- the El Camino is back! In January we reported this re-bodied Holden Ute would be called the 2010 Pontiac G8 ST , and like a Phoenix rising screamin' from the ashes of a bygone era of car-platformed trucks, this new heir to the truck-car throne would emerge from the over-built and over-spec'd world of modern haulers. Just like the Phoenix, this business-up-front and party-in-the-back sport truck looks a little younger, a little more refreshed and has a bit more hawkish figure, but don't be fooled by the disguise. If we play our cards right, it may end up retaining the legendary king of truck-car names...
