Each was given a car to modify, with $10,000 cash awarded for the best vehicle.

FDIC auctions of bank assets are generally pretty nondescript offering office chairs, computer equipment, banged-up file cabinets and other office supplies. But the assets of the bankrupt Community Bank of Nevada includes a 41-foot yacht. The 2005 41' Carver Cockpit motor yacht has cherry wood bulkheads and cabinetry, a wet bar with an ice maker on the deck and twin Volvo 375-horsepower gasoline-powered...

While the standard Scion xB isn't even close to being the coolest toaster compact hatch in the market, the same can't be said about this retro-flavored pickup conversion of the economy car that made its debut at SEMA. Designed by Brandon Leung, the project vehicle harkens back to the classic pickup trucks of the 50s. Extended bed aside, the xB...

After hacking the little trucklet into existence, Leung also massaged the engine with upgraded valves, valve springs, new cam, a port and polish on the head,...
