After that, I talk about the Montero and the Jag before we answer your questions. If you’d prefer the audio-only…

    Should you upgrade your wheels and tires? Is it time to add on a front or rear locker? Maybe you need a bit more lift from a new suspension setup? It all depends on what you plan on doing with your vehicle. And if your vehicle is built from Lego, you can test and try…

    Project cars are never done and they’re rarely easy, right? This week I talk about the issues I’m sorting out on the Jag before it heads over to the smog shop. And out of nowhere, the Montero alternator died in the middle of a drive. Ron is also having issues sorting out minor issues on…

    I love the Ford Lightning… it’s excellent, quick, comfortable, and behaves like the pickup truck that it is. Sure, it’s pretty damn pricey – but so are all trucks these days, and this one rips. Now I just need one with a slight lift, all-terrain tires, and a GoFastCamper in the back, and I’d be…

    Going to New York City during the holidays is an exercise in insanity. Everything is cold, crowded, and wildly expensive. Still, my daughter had never been, and it’s an experience worth doing at least once. So we packed up, headed east, and set off to see the city. Just for two days, though, then it…

    The GMC Hummer EV is a physics-defying electric monster machine. It weighs over 9,000 pounds yet can run from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds.

    Watching a wealthy actor attempt to be a race car driver is typically pretty boring stuff. There are exceptions, of course. Patrick Dempsey can wheel. Paul Newman was a hero in a car. Adam Carolla typically pushes his own fleet of vintage race cars pretty hard. Gene Hackman ran at the 24 Hours of Daytona,…
