While the Autoblog Canada workplace may be full of shiny, happy people doing what they love every day, we know that some jobs can be a real grind. We have all had a job that we can't stand and hope that our rapid-fire blog updates take the edge off while you're on the clock. There are many jobs ...

Our automotive leanings generally favour cars that sit down close to the ground, with low-profile tires and suspension travel measured in the inches. Still, a good helping of Monster Jam never hurts, and it can be fun to watch machines with mondo-size rubber and a few generous feet worth of ...

One of the best parts about watching a monster truck show is hearing (and feeling) the engines roar to life, but one of the sport's most iconic trucks is proving that car-crushing fun doesn't have to involve burning even a drop of gasoline (or alcohol, as the case may be). Odyssey Battery and ...

No, this is not some creation from the backwoods of Georgia. Fiat actually partnered with Mercurio Cinematografica to wed a Panda 4x4 with a Jeep CJ7. The result is the plucky face of the Panda astride a set of 59-inch tractor tires. The whole contraption sits 3.9 metres (12.8 feet) tall and took ...

The grainy image above is a shot from a video taken just seconds before a truck barreled into a crowd during an off-road racing event in Harrisburg, Ore. on Saturday. With about 1,000 people in attendance at Monster Air 2012, this jacked-up 1970s Ford pickup lost control and veered off course ...

What do you get when you mix a vintage El Camino with a bag of new Doritos? Apparently, an explosive "joyride" commercial featuring two reckless stunt men behind the wheel of an El Camino monster truck! The action-packed ad starts off with two guys (one in a flame-stenciled helmet, of course!) ...

Stay with us on this, because the scene above is one big misunderstanding. It's a little hard to make out in the YouTube video below, but Norman Nowling is backing his Ford Econoline monster van over the top of a Toyota Corolla. When he finished his brutal work, the Corolla wouldn't be going ...

What would you do if you were a monster-sized NBA basketball star negotiating a contract with TNT? Maybe you would demand two parking spaces, just for the hell of it and perhaps buy a monster truck just because you could. We know big Shaq has a weak-sport for custom cars but this has hit some new ...

There are two kinds of motorsport fans in the World: Those who have been to a monster truck race and those who haven't. Those who have know the feeling that the sound of two 1,500 horsepower racing engines creates as it rips through the pit of their stomach. They understand the need to stand up ...
