Low & Wide OBS Silverado – on a Craftsman Truck Series chassis

Curious creativity. Or as the kids call it: FAFO. That’s what the hotrod spirit is REALLY all about. It’s not about conformity, fitting in, or following an influencer. Rather - it’s about handing over the keys to that curious/devious voice inside your head. And making...

Celica GT-Four – Enthusiasts Make Enthusiasts

The Celica GT-Four is a cool car, no doubt. But for John Mamone, it’s honestly not about the car. It’s about the friendships. Interesting cars are just the common thread here… the glue. Yeah-yeah I know that sounds cliché. But when you break it down, it’s everything. ...

I was recently given the opportunity to participate in the Cars At The Capitol event hosted by SEMA & PRI. My car, a 1995 3000GT Spyder (previously featured in S3) was included as part of a 9-vehicle display hosted on Capitol Hill. What an experience! This diverse...

Lincoln Nautilus – American Luxury Made in China

If you want a pampering, luxurious, tech-forward driving experience, the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus should be on your list. BUT... it's made in China. Maybe you care about that, maybe you don’t. But historically when you think “Lincoln” you tend to think premium American...

Owning an Autozam AZ-1

Jade Richardson is a software engineer from California, and I’ll tell ya why that’s relevant. It’s relevant because even HE understands (*as a software engineer from California*) that all cars don’t need to drive like damn iPhones, Teslas, or automated tech support....

Will Lockwood’s S14.5 240SX – gaining STATURE

What are we chasing man? Let's call it out. In today’s culture, I think a lot of us are chasing attention, adoration, clout, power, followers, envy, dollars, etc. But on a deeper level, to be more specific & fair, I think what we’re really chasing is relevance....

Genesis GV60 review – politics aside

If you don’t like electric vehicles, you should drive the Genesis GV60. Because here’s the thing: I don’t like EVs either. At least I was pretty convinced I didn’t. But the driving experience of the Genesis GV60 is good enough to make me realize, it’s actually not the...

Toyota is earning their fanbase the old-fashion way

For a lot of us, car purchases are emotionally driven. Buying a vehicle is more than just 'buying a vehicle', it’s a show of support for the brand. Throughout my life, I've formed strong emotional connections with several brands for several different reasons. And...

k-swapped C6 Corvette

It’s weird ok. I mean who on earth sticks a Honda motor in a C6 Corvette? We get it... K-swaps are cool. VTEC is a lifestyle. But this?! This is just backwards. These dudes went from Ds to Bs lol. Here's the path that led to a k-swapped turbocharged C6 Corvette: First...

Fiat 124 Abarth review

Fiat 124 Abarth review

by | Jun 11, 2018 |

Whether you go with the Fiat 124, or the Mazda MX-5… you’re getting the real-thing. And you’re part of the resistance, who’s NOT succumbing to asphyxiation by crossover & fake SUV. Throwing the top back at 25mph on a whim is a therapy that other cars, even other...

2018 Honda Accord Review

by | May 30, 2018 |

Text: Yousef Alvi  //  Photos: Geoff Dennis By golly they did it!  Someone has injected some fun back into Honda!  Gone are the days where I mocked them incessantly for ‘earth dreams’ motors and flaccid chassis.  With the Civic Type R, Si and now this 2018 Honda...

Formula D Road Atlanta 2018: The Quinceñera

by | May 28, 2018 | ,

First off, you've seen the big XV tag along the Formula Drift name this season: this is FD's 15th year since it's inaugural season. That's 15 hot years of sponsorships and vibrant liveries sliding across tracks around the nation. That's hundreds of barrels of fuel...

Tundra Double Cab TRD 4×4 review

by | May 15, 2018 |

The Tundra is one of those can’t explain it trucks. Meaning - I can’t really explain why I like this particular truck so much, or why I got so attached to it. I think a lot of Tundra owners can probably relate. It’s like a dog that just follows you home & becomes...

Import Showdown

by | May 8, 2018 | ,

Guys guy guys. I know import drag racing might have fallen out of the limelight a bit over the last errrrr 15 years. But let's look back over that slumpy time period. Can you honestly say the import culture is in a better place without drag racing at it core?...

Eibach Meet and Track Attack 2018

Eibach meet 2018. For those of you who have heard about it, it's surreal to hear that title and those numbers come together. For those of you who have never heard of it, it's only getting bigger: so pay attention.     (Cue historical harpsichord music) The...
