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. ...

Cars at the Capitol – hosted by SEMA & PRI

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...

Intelligent Speed Assist – Yeah No

  In a world increasingly governed by beeps & intervention... a new contender has emerged that threatens the very fabric & essence of driving freedom: Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA). You may have heard of it, it's the technological equivalent of someone...

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...

2016 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Review

2016 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Review

The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is one crossover that stands out for being trim & lean… when a lot of the competitors tend to be uselessly bulky, over-designed, and over-chromed. If you’re in the market for a crossover, and you actually LIKE to drive, then the CX-5 is...

2016 Lincoln MKC Review

2016 Lincoln MKC Review

What a difference a year can make.  Last year when we reviewed the new 2015 Lincoln MKC we found it rather underwhelming.  We found it too expensive, the seats lacked any real support and the performance was meh inducing.  Now fast forward a few months to the 2016...

2016 Kia Optima SXL Review

2016 Kia Optima SXL Review

When I first heard that we were getting the 2016 Kia Optima to review, I really didn't know what to think. I've always been drawn to the styling of these cars since the 2011 redesign, but I've never driven one so I really didn't have any preconceived ideas other than...

If you haven’t considered the ST because you’re one of those people who “Wouldn’t buy a Ford”… please go drive one before you fall into that default response. Manufacturers change & evolve. And time & time again, when we get these test cars, the ST/GT/Ecoboost...

2016 Ford Explorer Review

The 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum.  It’s the poor man’s Range Rover.  Let me explain.  It looks like a Range Rover, it has comparable room, digital dash, massaging seats, and a terrain select controller.  But the Explorer can park itself and has a twin turbo V6…for all...
