The Ford Mustang Bullitt is the right way to go green
/
/
comments
Forget the movie, embrace the awesome of the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. Dripping with perfect Highland Green paint and stanced nicely with a set of blacked-out torque thrust-style wheels, the all-new Bullitt is a bad-ass ride. Under the hood is a power-bumped 5.0-liter V8 engine and it’s making 480 horsepower here. Row your own gears…

comments
In part one of the story about the trip to COTA for the ARX season finale with Subaru, I focused on the series and the preverbal “10,000-foot view”. In part two we will dive in and have a closer look at the team and the cars. First though, two fun facts. Number one: Lance Smith, who…

Bullitt Time: San Francisco in a 2001 Mustang Bullitt; 50 years later

comments
It’s tempting to floor it. Even more so than usual. Every child-like instinct tells me to point the Mustang’s nose over the precipice of Union Street, romp on the gas, and let it fly. If only this was a stunt car. Instead, it’s my daily driver, and I’m not chasing baddies in a sinister black…

comments
Look, I’m gonna keep this short, mostly because I’m lazy. The 24 Hours of Lemons is hosting its second consecutive dual-race weekend with Halloween Hooptiefest at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Get Yer Phil 500 (name for the esteemed Murilee Martin) at High Plains Raceway in Colorado. And what’s better than a two-race weekend? They’ll…

The Ford Transit is a plus-size sports car
/
/
comments
I promise this isn’t clickbait. You’re about to be shocked by the full-size Ford Transit Van. That’s because you can equip it with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 engine that cranks out 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Is this the potential return of Supervan? With some light modification, it just might be. [Disclaimer: Ford…

The inaugural American Rallycross (ARX) series swung into Austin for its season finale. It was at the Circuit of the Americas where the stage was set for roaring, sliding, soaring action. Rallycross, in its various forms, has been an intriguing series for a while now. Having grown up in the glory years of Group B, I’ve…

I am in my early forties. I am married and I have two kids. I have a nice home and a decent family vehicle. I have something resembling a career and a sweet side gig writing about cars. You’d think I’m living the dream, but I’m not. I have a secret deep down inside me…

Review: Yakima SlimShady roof rack awning

comments
A station wagon and a roof rack go hand-in-hand. You cannot have one without the other, well, at least that’s my mantra. Roof racks are a mandatory feature, an imperative must-have for me when it comes to car shopping. Sure, you can open the lift gate on a station wagon and fold down its seats…
