    Super73 and Roland Sands Design teamed up to collaborate on an RX-Malibu, and the result is pretty sweet. This RSD-themed bike isn’t just upgraded in the looks department, as the battery has been relocated, the pedals and chain upgraded, and the rear shock swapped out for a better Fox unit. All-in-all it’s a sweet machine…

    The 2022 Audi RS3 absolutely rips. That 401-hp 5-cylinder engine sounds amazing, the interior is comfortable, and the Torque Rear drive mode rips you around corners.

    I’ve heard of CXC Simulations. And I always assumed it was a sort of private club for race car drivers and those with extra cash looking for a spot to practice their driving lines in a consistent, controlled environment. It’s fun to figure out when you’re wrong, and I learned that 10 seconds after walking…
