I'll say this up front, I was never a massive fan of the original FR-S/BRZ/86. Conceptually, sure I was all in. A light two door RWD coupe, yes please. However, in practice I just never came to love any of them, and it came down to one reason. Power. Sure, ...

It's hard to fathom, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee (JGC) has been in production for...wait for it...thirty years. There it is, I said it. The ZJ generation was Jeep's first attempt at a luxury SUV. With six and eight cylinder power the Grand Cherokee set up much of the basis ...

The idea of swapping the Jaguar out for something cool and older is playing on a constant loop in my head. And one of the vehicles that pop up most frequently is an old Ford Mustang. I've always been a Ford fan. The Mustang is an icon. And for quite ...
