My Montero is back…

comments
It was dead… and now it’s not. That’s a nice thing about cars. As long as they’re not crinkled into oblivion, they can be brought back to life. Regarding the fate of my Montero, the cost of bringing it back from the brink was pretty high. But in the end, I deemed it worth it…

1967 Ford Mustang Project NONWICK – Part 2: Fluids Everywhere
/
/
comments
My 1967 Ford Mustang project needs prepping before I can pull the engine and transmission. That means it’s time to drain fluids and start moving other parts out of the way. As you might expect from a project where I’m doing the wrenching, I am excellent at making easy tasks a bit harder. But things…

Nissan Z Nismo – Is it enough?
/
/
comments
The Nissan Z Nismo is a 420-hp sports car with great upgrades for the track. But is it worthy of your money? Because Nissan is asking for a LOT of it… [Disclaimer: Nissan tossed us the keys to this Z Nismo and included a full tank of fuel.]

NONWICK: My 1967 Ford Mustang Project – The Real Part 1
/

comments
This is the real part one for my 1967 Ford Mustang. I’ve already introduced the car, but it’s time to actually get started. You can’t finish if you don’t start. So I started and I’m diving right the hell in… but ripping out the wiring. My plan is to rewire the car using the kit…

2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road loves to play in the mud
/
/
comments
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is a greatly improved truck. And one of the bright spots, at least for me, has always been the TRD Off-Road trim. The new engine delivers great torque, the seats are comfortable, and the entire thing has been brought into the modern day. [Disclaimer: Toyota tossed us the keys to the…

DUHKAR: My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero is Dead
/
/
comments
I love this truck. Of all the vehicles I’ve owned, I haven’t felt much of an emotional connection. I’ve enjoyed them, certainly, but when it’s time for one to shuffle off to a new owner, I’m okay with that. The Montero, however, is different. I’ve taken this one on adventures. My daughter has grown a…

Nonwick and Duhkar: Updates on my 1967 Mustang and 1991 Montero
/
/
comments
The Montero is at the shop and my Mustang is in the garage. Only one of these was planned. About a month ago, I was heading towards Arrowhead in California. Before starting the climb up Rt.330 which would take us there, I noticed an unwelcome noise coming from the engine in my Montero. My wife…

This Ferrari-swapped Subaru Rally Car is a Beautiful Beast

comments
I am going to put a string of words out there that seem like they’d only be vaguely connected. Subaru. Ferrari. Rally. California. Oregon. Some of those seem related, but for this story, they all fit together amazingly well. That’s because the video above shows a 2004 Subaru WRX STI fully built up for rally…

The 2024 Ford Mustang GT is an Evolution not a Revolution
/
/
comments
The 2024 Ford Mustang GT is a good evolution of the Mustang. But the S650 is not a game changer. It feels like an update to the 550, and that’s fine. Though it is a bit of a shame just how expensive the Mustang is now. [Disclaimer: Ford tossed us the keys to the Mustang…

Legend Motor Co Builds a Monster of a Reimagined Defender 110

I typically scoff at every email in my inbox touting the next restomodded all-star vehicle. That’s because there are a lot of companies out there charging insane money for vehicles that started life as inexpensive shells, but now wear terrible wheels and usually have a cheap Grant steering wheel bolted to the column. And the…
