How One Factory Worker’s “Simple” Trick Stopped the Ford Pinto From Exploding

About

Backshift Garage is where vintage cars come to be glorified, mocked, or both — we honestly don’t care which. From muscle cars that roared like gods to quirky tin cans that barely made it out of the factory, we cover the good, the bad, and the “what the hell were they thinking.” We don’t worship chrome, we roast it. We’ll tell you when a classic is a masterpiece… and when it’s just a glorified lawn ornament with wheels. If you’re here for sugar-coated nostalgia, wrong garage. If you’re here for raw, sarcastic takes on the weirdest corners of automotive history, throw it in reverse and backshift in.
