There’s a new Horizon festival and it’s landed in the UK, and to kick start the party Forza Horizon 4 plops you down right into a McLaren Senna. This is a trick. You’ll want to fall in…

24 Hours of Lemons 2019 Schedule: Races, Rallies, Concours, and Down Under
/

comments
After 13 years, nobody has yet gotten wise to those idiots from the 24 Hours of Lemons and their inane $500 endurance-racing series. Indeed, Lemons has slipped another annual schedule out to the public. It serves less as a yearly planner for racers (who naturally are terrible at planning) and more of a notice to…

comments
Ah, yes, my beloved 1995 Acura Integra GS-R. A good friend of mine was nice enough to store it for me over the cold winter months. Now, two and a half years later, I got it out of there as he had to sell the place. As you may expect, exactly nothing happened to the…

This is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec. That means it’s packing a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Paired with…

This one has been a long road, and we’re still far from the end. I bought this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD back in 2013. My dreams and plans were filled with smoky burnouts, roadtrips with my family, and living that longroof lifestyle. None of that happened. The shop we first used for this build managed to fit…

We’ve all been there, past the point of frustration and agony and anger and heartbreak and “I fucking hate this giant metal piece of shit,” cresting the point of “why do I even do this?” and stepping well into the territory of, “I’d be better off if I had no involvement in this whatsoever.” I…
