-- Watch as Jay Leno explores the 2013 Campagna Motors T-REX, a three-wheel, street-legal motorcycle that is insanely fast, especially since one of the powertrain options is a six-cylinder BMW engine and the thing weighs practically nothing.

The still-drivable car has only one functioning gear and a top speed of 15.5 mph. Talk about car customization.

-- From the crew at Drive comes their latest Barn Find episode, where they take you through the restoration process for a classic 1966 Porsche 912.

It's headed to RM's Monterey auction, where it will sell for more money than we even want to think about. Silodrome provides photos and some background on the car. It's nice to dream …
